Sins of a Solar Empire
Sins of a Solar Empire (Sins or SoaSE) is a real-time strategy (RTS) game that incorporates some elements from 4X strategy games, sometimes RT4X, developed by Ironclad Games and published by Stardock Entertainment in 2008.
The main storyline of the game revolves around a war between three galactic species: the Trader Emergency Coalition or TEC (a group of trade worlds that descends from earlier human exploration), the Advent (a desert religious cult that mastered psychic powers only to be banished by the Trade Order), and the Vasari (the remnants of a solar empire fleeing from an unnamed threat that shattered their civilization).
The first micro-expansion, Entrenchment, was announced on August 29, 2008 and was released as a download on February 25, 2009. The second micro-expansion, Diplomacy, was announced on August 26, 2009 and was released as a download on February 9, 2010, along side a compilation of the original game and its two micro-expansions called Trinity. The first stand-alone expansion, Rebellion, was announced on March 1, 2011, and went into Beta on March 1, 2012.
