Description
New Civilisations is a Star Trek mod for Stellaris, presenting players with a large number of empires to choose to lead to dominance in a number of Star Trek settings. Formerly known as "Strange New Worlds", the project name was changed to avoid confusion with the new TV series in development.

Exploration Clusters allow for exploration to continue into the late-game and beyond.
Improvements to the terraforming system, allowing players multiple methods of increasing or reducing heat, atmosphere etc. in order to make a planet more suitable for their needs.
Multiple maps available, including three sizes of full galaxy map, quadrant-specific maps, and a Starfleet Battles inspired multiplayer-friendly map.
Many new Megastructures added, including Subspace Relays, Fleet Yards and Trading Stations which allow for the purchase of ships, trade goods, relics and rumours and intelligence.
Technology, Economy and Empire Setup:
Revamped and optimised technology tree. Improvements in behind-the-scenes categorisation and structure enable a number of mechanics and systems that would otherwise be impossible.
Streamlined economic system eliminates much late-game slowdown without compromising on key systems.
Improved empire and government setup, allowing players to better customise their empires during gameplay, and removing many hyper-specific restrictions on civics, traits etc.
For players with the First Contact DLC, cloaking will take advantage of the new active states and mechanics, but still provide the old in-combat advantages. For players without the DLC, cloaking will use the old STNC system with evasion and damage bonuses in-combat.
