Join millions of players in an unparalleled massively multiplayer strategy experience with Hades' Star: DARK NEBULA. Start your own personal journey in the vast expanse of the Hades Galaxy, or continue guiding the Empire you started in the original game. DARK NEBULA represents the next evolution of the Hades galaxy, offering both familiar and refined activities alongside entirely new ones, making building a Space Empire more rewarding than ever.

In this persistent galaxy, your actions have lasting consequences. You can create and grow your own Space Empire, exploring and colonizing your very own Yellow Star System. As the most stable star type, Yellow Stars provide the perfect environment to establish your permanent presence and plan your Empire's long-term economy. Every new player begins in their own Yellow Star system, gradually expanding to discover and colonize more planets. You'll set mining patterns, establish trade routes, and neutralize the mysterious alien ships scattered throughout the Hades galaxy. As the owner of a Yellow Star system, you have full control over who gains access to it, allowing you to establish diplomatic relations and dictate terms for mining, trade, or military cooperation.

Early in the game, every player will construct a Red Star Scanner, a station enabling them to jump ships to detected Red Stars. These stars have a short lifespan, going supernova after just 10 minutes. Players must cooperate with others present in the Red Star system to defeat NPC ships, retrieve valuable Artifacts from the planets, and escape before the supernova occurs. Artifacts can be researched at home and yield essential resources for trade, mining, and combat advancements. Higher-level Red Stars offer tougher challenges and greater rewards.

In addition to cooperative PvE activities, the game features team PvP in White Stars. Players can join or form Corporations to help each other and scan for White Stars. In these systems, 20 players from two Corporations engage in battles for Relics, a valuable resource that upgrades the Corporation and provides individual members with additional benefits. Matches in White Stars last for five days, allowing ample time for coordination and strategy planning. The Time Machine feature enables players to strategize, communicate, and predict future combat outcomes.

For those seeking fast-paced PvP action, Blue Stars offer short-lived combat arenas where players engage in intense battles lasting just a few minutes. Each participant can send a single Battleship into the Blue Star, where they must use their ship's modules and other NPC ships to eliminate competitors. Regular participation in Blue Star battles earns daily and monthly rewards to advance your Empire.

Experience the thrill of strategic gameplay in Hades' Star: DARK NEBULA, where your choices shape the galaxy.
