Leaders

Leaders are the characters in the game who run your empire. They can boost Armies, Fleets, Production and complete Missions.

Empires begin with one leader as their Primary Leader. This leader receives skill bonuses based on the selected Colony.

Commissioning Leaders

Additional leaders are commissioned using the the list of available non-commissioned leaders. Commissioning a leader adds them to the Empire's roster of active leaders. Leaders are typically commissioned onto the Empire's Homeworld. The number of Leaders an Empire can have is based on the number of areas owned.

Decommissioning Leaders

A leader can be decommissioned to make room in the roster for a new one. An Empire's Primary Leader cannot be decommissioned.
