Hello everybody!                                                                                                    UK Release!

Today is the UK release of Armada 2526! This also means that with this chapter, the 12th and final race is going to be revealed! This deep hybrid ‘4x’ strategy game, from developer Shining Pixel Studios (lead by Bob Smith, known from the Total Wars series), continues the great tradition of space opera games.

You guide your race from its first interstellar journeys until it becomes a mighty galactic empire. Along the way, you’ll explore the galaxy, conduct research, diplomacy and trade with the other races, found new colonies, maneuver mighty star fleets, and fight epic battles.

There are twelve different races, with each race possessing a distinct set of racial traits. Each race has at least one faction - some have more, each bearing a close resemblance to the main strain of their race but often possessing slightly different traits or victory conditions.

In these posts the twelve different races are going to be revealed, especially for you! This handy information helps you to prepare yourself for trading with the different races and spotting weaknesses and strengths in order to achieve the ultimate goal of galactic dominance!

CHAPTER 12: the XSpectdrada

The XSpectdrada believe that they are the sole remaining descendents of a race that once ruled the whole galaxy, and that was destroyed by some unknown event, leaving a very small surviving colony that was too small to sustain their technology. Most XSpectdrada look forward to the day when their imperium will be re-established.

They are masters of the psychic arts, and also of stealth technology. This, together with their ill disguised imperial ambitions, makes other races somewhat wary of them, and gives them the reputation of being untrustworthy.

But be careful! A group of XSpectdrada Rebels could appear after riots in their colony go on for too long. So, if you play the XSpectdrada make sure to prevent uprising or they will turn against you and take matters into their own hands.

Well, that was it! Hope you’ve enjoyed these Race Reveal Chapters and keep an eye out on the website for more information about Armada 2526!
