Master of Orion: Ad Astra – Galactic News Network

The Galactic News Network expansion puts the emphasis on galactic expansion over diplomacy and negotiation. It adds three new empires with their own tech tracks: Brood of Sakkra - Born invaders, they reject science and diplomacy for relentless expansion. Meklar Combine - Cybernetic organisms who run their empire at peak efficiency. Alkari Flock - Aviators who, with their personal fleet of ships, can colonize a world or deploy a fleet at a moment's notice. Adds new game mechanics: - Galactic News Network events - Admirals and governors - Tech cards, diplomats, discovery tiles, and planets
