Colony

A colony is a new planet created by a Gaia Class Colony Ship. Each colony allows a player to establish a new set of mines, buildings, defenses, etc., just like they have on their homeworld. Colonies share crew points and research with their homeworld. A player may have up to 8 colonies in addition to their homeworld.

A new colony has a random number of fields assigned when it is colonized. HINT: Planets 4, 5, and 6 tend to yield higher number of slots (i.e. Planetary Fields); while planets 1, 2, and 3 tend to yield the fewest number in any given solar system.

NOTE: The Gaia Class Colony Ship is automatically destroyed in the process of creating a Colony.
