About Stellaris (Galaxy Map)

Stellaris is Paradox's 4X grand-strategy galaxy simulation, where players steer interstellar empires across a procedurally generated galaxy. Its signature view is the galaxy map: nebula purples and violets drift across a near-black star field, with glowing teal-cyan hyperlanes webbing the systems together.

Translucent dark-blue interface frames float over the void, holding empire controls and node-and-arc links. This design system captures that cosmic, cool, quietly grand mood — luminous connections strung across an enormous dark canvas.
