About ENDLESS Space 2
ENDLESS Space™ 2 is a strategic space‑opera set in a galaxy first colonized by god‑like beings called the ENDLESS. Their ruins, artifacts and the mysterious substance known as Dust form the backdrop for empire building and exploration.
Players lead one of eight distinct civilizations, managing populations, politics and technology while designing ships and fighting real‑time battles. The game offers both single‑player and online PvP for up to seven opponents.
01 / THE GUIDE
Galaxy and Dust
The galaxy contains ancient ruins and powerful artifacts left by the vanished ENDLESS. Dust, described as a strange near‑magical substance, is a notable feature of the setting and appears in many in‑game descriptions.
Exploring star systems reveals Dust deposits, which can be examined through the Amplified Reality view. This view provides contextual information about systems, trade routes and other Dust‑related details.
- Use the Amplified Reality view (Space) to locate Dust sources quickly.
- Survey multiple systems before committing colonies to understand Dust distribution.

Civilizations and Story Quests
Eight civilizations are available, each described as having a unique playstyle affinity and a dedicated story quest. The quests give narrative context and outline specific objectives for that civilization.
Choosing a civilization determines which quest you will follow, influencing early decisions and the type of challenges you encounter as the empire expands.
- Read the opening of each story quest to align early actions with its goals.
- Consider the civilization’s affinity when planning your first technology research.

Politics and Population Management
Populations react dynamically to your decisions and environment, forming political parties that express their will through the Senate. These parties can affect which laws are passed.
Your leadership style—whether natural or manipulative—impacts how parties respond, making it essential to monitor population sentiment after policy changes.
- Balance party demands to keep the Senate functional.
- Watch population happiness indicators after enacting new laws.
