Colonization
The research that turns one planet into an empire.
ColonizationEverything before this line is preparation. Colonisation is the moment a commander stops optimising a single world and starts building a network.
It is also the loneliest launch you will ever authorise - a ship carrying enough infrastructure to matter, aimed at a world that does not care whether it arrives.
