Thousand Suns

About Thousand Suns: 5-Minute Galactic Conquest Battle

Thousand Suns drops you into a galactic conquest where a full empire-building war plays out in roughly five minutes. Starting from a single home planet, you race against four AI rivals to spread your fleet across the galaxy and seize control before they do. Your homeworld produces ships on its own, and every neutral or enemy world you capture adds more production and more reach. The whole arc — from lone outpost to galactic dominance — is compressed into the time it takes to grab a coffee.

How to Play Thousand Suns: Expand Before Someone Else Does

The core loop is straightforward: select a planet you control, then direct its fleet outward. Sending ships to a neutral or enemy world triggers an attack; sending them to your own world reinforces it. Every planet captured feeds more ships into your growing armada and tightens the pressure on the four bots racing alongside you.

Managing Production and Upgrades

When a planet levels up, a pulsing arrow appears above it. Clicking that arrow lets you choose the next upgrade for that world from three options: Industry, Agriculture, or Research. Picking the right upgrade for each planet shapes how quickly your production and capabilities grow.

Ferry Lanes

Clicking and dragging from one of your planets to another establishes a ferry lane, which automatically routes newly produced ships to the destination. Clicking an existing ferry lane disconnects it, giving you direct control over where your production flows.

Controls

• Left Click a planet or starbase you control: Select it
• Left Click another planet or starbase while one is selected: Deploy your fleet there — attack if it's enemy or neutral, reinforce if it's your own
• Left Click your selected planet again: Deselect it
• Click and Drag from one of your planets to another: Connect a ferry lane so newly produced ships automatically flow to the destination
• Left Click an existing ferry lane: Disconnect it
• Left Click the pulsing arrow above a leveled-up planet: Choose your next upgrade (Industry / Agriculture / Research)
• TAB: Quit to the main menu
