Welcome back to the Twilight Imperium universe. In the Shattered Empire Expansion, the galaxy is larger and more dangerous - and the glory of conquering it is greater than ever before. Now four new races enter the struggle for the Imperial Throne, and up to eight players can vie for control of the galaxy. There are new planets to conquer and new spatial anomalies to contend with, but there are also new technologies to aid each race. As war rages across dozens of systems, the question remains: Who will unite the pieces of this shattered empire and lead the galaxy into a new age?

In addition to new plastic pieces, new race sheets, and new system tiles, this expansion also adds new Strategy Cards, Political Cards, Action Cards, and Public Objectives, as well as many new optional rules. Highlights include:

• 116 Plastic Unit Pieces in 2 new colors - enough for up to 8 players.
• 28 New System Tiles, including new Ion Storm tiles and the Wormhole Nexus.
• 4 New Races: The Ember of Muaat, The Clan of Saar, The Winnu, and The Yin Brotherhood.
• An all-new set of 8 variant Strategy Cards, as well as a variant Imperial Strategy Card designed for use with the original game. 4 New Technology for each player, as well as 14 Race-Specific Technologies.
• New Secret and Public Objective Cards.
• New Distant Suns Tokens.
• New Shock Troop and Space Mine Counters.
• New Rules Options, including the wormhole nexus, tactical retreats, and simulated early turns to speed up the game.
