A Galaxy That Evolves Without You
The world of Colonies: Genesis of E.D.E.N. is not static.
It is a procedurally generated, fully simulated galaxy—a living canvas of stars, civilizations, disasters, and ancient mysteries.
Every playthrough generates a new history.
Every world has a story to tell.
A Living Galaxy
• Millions of stars, each with realistic planetary systems
• Geodesic planetary grids simulate long-term climate change, tectonics, and biosphere shifts
• Environmental pressures shape evolution, from microbial survival to the collapse of empires
• The galaxy is never still—civilizations rise and fall, stars explode, wormholes destabilize, and ancient systems go dark
Galactic Structure & Scale
Core Galactic Plane
The central battleground of interstellar politics.
Dense, resource-rich, and contested by emerging spacefaring factions.
Disk Layers (Above & Below)
Scientific outposts, rogue colonies, and breakaway empires.
Sparser than the core, but ripe with unclaimed territory—and lurking dangers.
The Galactic Halo
Far above and below the core, the Halo is ancient, empty… and not entirely abandoned.
Only the most advanced civilizations dare to explore it.
Wormholes & Strategic Choke Points
Wormholes offer shortcuts—or traps.
• Most are unstable, requiring high-tech stabilization
• Rare stable wormholes can lead to the Halo, isolated void sectors, or artifact-rich zones
• AI factions fight over access, build outposts, and lose expeditions into the unknown
Factions Born of the Stars
No preset empires. No galactic council.
Every civilization evolves from the ground up, shaped by their biology, beliefs, and homeworld challenges.
• Multiple sentient species can evolve in one galaxy—or none at all
• AI factions develop culture, religion, and ideology over time
• Civilizations are dynamic, memory-driven, and react to the world around them
• Nations form, collapse, and reform, influenced by ancient discoveries, wars, or internal revolution
The Legacy of E.D.E.N.
Beneath the surface of the galaxy lies something older—something lost.
The ruins of the Architects, the Followers who transcended them, and the Guardians who watch from the shadows.
• Artifacts scattered across remote sectors—each with lore, power, and consequences
• Guardian Enclaves: dormant, ruined, or active—each shaping regional politics or scientific breakthroughs
• Some civilizations worship them. Others fear them.
But none ignore them.
You Are Not the First
When your civilization stares into the stars, it will find
the wreckage of those who came before.
And maybe—just maybe—what they left behind.
