Solanum

Embryophytics that rose to sentience on a lush world, but were forced to set off into the cosmos when their planet’s atmosphere was eviscerated by relentless solar flares. Biological adaptation to the harshest environments has allowed them to travel far and wide in search of a new home.

Expansion

Exponential

Since all blooms (ships) can seed structures, and most structures can seed blooms, expansion through the solar system can be rapid.

Combat

Anticipatory

All blooms and structures begin as fragile seeds that must grow with time. If allowed to flourish with planning and forethought, they become extremely powerful.

Production

Expansive

All structures can be seeded by any bloom, including resource gatherers that grow in output with time.

Technology

Linear

Every successive progression must be unlocked along linear paths for blooms, structures, and resources.

Growth

All blooms (ships) and structures grow in strength as time goes on, only achieving maximum strength after multiple rounds have passed.

Seedlings

All structures are seeded by blooms, and all blooms are seeded by structures. They grow to effectiveness after one or more rounds.

Nova Bloom

A powerful bloom capable of unleashing a powerful attack that damaged all enemies within two hexes of its position.

Seed Ejector

Generate multiple ship seeds per turn, ejecting them out into space around the ejector.

Dispersed Extractor Root

Seed extractors in asteroid fields to passively collect resources at the end of each turn, until fully depleted.

Regeneration

Regenerate a portion of missing hit points at the end of your turn.
