[edit] Location

Always orbiting a star very near the player's Home Star. It cannot be colonized manually, but occasionally AI races will colonize it.

[edit] Description

As part of the space stage tutorial you will find ruins of a long lost civilization. You soon find out that they were wiped out by the Grox. As soon as you scan the city, its automated security drones appear and, believing that the player is one of the Grox, attack them. This is the first time you will use weapons against other spaceships (assuming that you attack the ships that come after you).

[edit] Notes

  • The Ruined Planet is a part of the Space Stage Tutorial.
  • It never has spice, though if someway you colonize it, it produces spice anyhow.
    • Sometimes glitches can occasionally create non-functional white spice geysers.
  • If an AI colonizes this planet, it produces Spice and can be purchased by the player.
  • It is a good place to set up a "zoo planet", as it does not have too many other uses.
  • While the Player cannot colonize it, it can sometimes advance into the Tribal Stage if left alone long enough. If the sapient species advances any further, it will be impossible to colonize the planet except by the use of a monolith. The wreckage conceals the cities and it is unknown if this is a glitch. Some players have found that it sometimes advances to space stage.
  • The species name is random on all games, and automatically hates you.
  • When you end the transmission, your species can be seen in the image panel of the communication. As there are temples and religious statues on your homeworld, this may be another example of an ancient civilization from your homeworld.
  • This may alternately be a lost human colony, as most, if not all the ruined buildings look like human skyscrapers.
  • There are 3 destroyed cities on the planet.
Look close at the buildings, you can see they are brick flats

[edit] Colonize the planet

A way to colonize it is:

  • Drop a a Monolith
  • If the creatures are in space stage, you can get the planet by war or a trade route
  • Capture the planet or buy it
