Research Lab
The Research Lab is where scientists and engineers push the boundaries of technological progress.
Every technological breakthrough — from advanced propulsion systems to planetary engineering — begins inside these laboratories.
Research Labs coordinate scientists, data networks, and experimental facilities necessary to develop new technologies.
Mechanics
- Required to conduct research.
- Higher levels increase research efficiency.
- Later technologies allow research networks linking multiple labs.
Lore
Within these facilities, thousands of scientists analyze alien materials, simulate advanced propulsion systems, and test new military technologies.
Many of the greatest scientific breakthroughs in the history of the galaxy began in humble colonial laboratories.
Strategy
Research Labs should be upgraded regularly to unlock:
- new ship classes
- advanced buildings
- powerful combat technologies
