Player Cosmetics

Personal cosmetics in Per Regna customize your commander and colonies. They do not affect combat stats or production.

Open Inventory → Cosmetics and your Profile. Relic-backed looks start in Inventory → Relics — see Relics.

Avatars (profile)

Avatar cosmetics replace your profile picture everywhere the commander appears (profile, lists, social surfaces).

Forge an avatar relic to unlock its base look, then buy color variants with Quantum Shards.
Equip from Profile → change avatar.
Avatars are personal — they are never donated to an alliance.
From Realm 4 (the top realm), the profile button in the top-left corner shows your avatar instead of your realm level — but only for a bought variant. With no avatar or a free base look, it keeps showing the realm level.

Planet images

Planet Image cosmetics change the colony’s sprite in galaxy / system view. Images come in four families, and each colony is offered the family that suits its surface type:

Colony surface	Planet image family
Rocky, Gas Giant	Industrial
Hazardous	Exploded
Oceanic, Ice	Explorer
Volcanic, Desert	Warlord

Open the colony customize UI → Planet tab. It lists only the family for that colony's surface (shown in Colony Settings).
Preview (on the galaxy view) pans to the colony and shows the image on it for 10 seconds, then rolls back.
Equip a purchased or unlocked image; unequipping restores the seeded default sprite.
An image from another family can't be equipped on that colony, even if you own it.
Moons keep their own moon sprites (use moon surface cosmetics for lunar looks).

Planet & moon surfaces

Planet Surface and Moon Surface cosmetics change how the colony looks when you are on the surface (ground view), separate from the galaxy planet image.

Colony customize → Surface tab.
Scope can be global (all matching colonies) or per colony depending on the item — use Equip / Equip to Colony in the cosmetics UI.
Preview (on the planet view) shows a surface on your colony for 10 seconds, owned or not, then rolls back to your current surface.

Building, ship & defense skins

Themed building skins, and when available ship / defense skins, change unit art without changing stats.

Browse Inventory → Cosmetics and Packs for themed building bundles (partial ownership only charges missing skins).
Equip from the cosmetics inventory once owned.
Preview in the building window (on the planet view) shows a skin on that building for 10 seconds, owned or not, then rolls back.
Realm gates may apply to some packs — the shop shows requirements.

Previewing cosmetics

A preview lasts 10 seconds and only changes what you see: nothing is bought or equipped, and other players never see it. The chooser hides while it runs and comes back on the same item; tap the countdown at the top to end it early.

Titles & UI effects

Some cosmetics add titles or light UI effects for prestige. Equip them from Cosmetics when owned; they remain cosmetic-only.

How to apply (checklist)

Unlock via relic forge, shop purchase, pack, or event grant.
Open Inventory → Cosmetics (or Profile / colony customize for the matching type).
Equip (or Equip to Colony / globally as offered).
Confirm the look in Profile, Galaxy, or colony view.
