Gaia Project: The Lost Fleet Expansion

The Vibe

Why You’ll Love It

• Uncharted Frontiers: Discover derelict Lost Fleet ships stranded across interspace and deep space. Docking your shuttle costs victory points, but unlocking their game-breaking technologies and unique action spaces changes your engine completely.
• 4 Brand New Alien Factions: Harness the asymmetric powers of the Darkanians, Mowyed, Space Giants, and Tinkeroids. Two new planet types (Asteroids and Proto-Planets) expand the universe and tear open fresh expansion routes on the map.
• Sharper Decisions & Rebalanced Battles: Standard Q.I.C. actions now live on the Lost Fleet ships—forcing every player off their comfortable home-planet autopilot and into a battle for reach. Plus, official faction rebalances breathe vibrant new life into base-game favorites.

What It Feels Like

Imagine cracking open a massive vault in deep space just before your rival can reach it—trading hard-earned prestige for an absurd technological breakthrough that reshapes the rest of your strategy.
