Hey guys and gals!





If you've opened any gaming website today, odds are good that you've caught at least a glimpse of a mysterious 4th faction in Endless Space 2, made up of characters in dark suits piloting sleek starships... They'll be on our Wiki soon enough, but we couldn't resist the opportunity of showing you in advance Endless Space 2's 4th Early Access faction, the Vodyani!

























Originally the inhabitants of a well-populated solar system, Tchinomy, the Vodyani fell victim to a classic cycle of over-industrialization. A few decades after discovering space travel their home world was largely dead from ecological exhaustion and pollution, and the Vodyani were driven to surviving on fewer and fewer resources.





While they learned to excel in technologies of space habitats, slower-than-light (STL) travel, hydroponic farming, and recycling, they were a dying race until they discovered a temple of the Virtual Endless. To throw off the weight of their bodies, uplift their minds, and live forever… to the Vodyani the Virtuals were gods, and it took little time to establish a church dedicated to their worship. The Vodyani had found a new purpose.















We hope this first look at the Vodyani only made you hungrier for more information. If that's the case, know that the Vodyani will be the next addition to our Wiki, so don't miss it! As an end of week bonus, have a short gameplay video!
