Stellaris: Distant Stars (DLC) Stellaris: Distant Stars is a DLC expansion developed by Paradox, and it requires the base game to play. Embark on a journey to discover galaxies that have remained untouched by human explorers. The cosmos is vast and varied—what will you find? Gentle giants or formidable beasts may await in these uncharted territories. This DLC from the creators of Crusader Kings and Europa Universalis turns the endless expanse of space into your strategic playground. Dive into the depths of the universe, encounter new alien species, and carve out your own interstellar empire. While you might not need a Death Star, Stellaris: Distant Stars isn't just about conquest. The game offers a rich array of diplomatic options to navigate through complex interstellar relations and achieve your goals in more peaceful ways. Whether through war or diplomacy, the galaxy is yours to explore and shape.
