Upcoming interstellar strategy game Galactic Civilizations IV is adding lots of exciting new space bells and space whistles for its fourth iteration, including The Navigators. A brand new race (available to play right now in the alpha test), The Navigators are a nomadic people who have dedicated their existence to seeking out and investigating the mysteries of the Precursors.
Their quest has been going for so long that they’ve forgotten where they came from – their history and the location of their homeworld lost to the ravages of time. Legend tells of their race being ‘touched’ by the Precursors in the distant past, which may explain their long voyage in search of knowledge. The Navigators' defining legacy are subspace streams, which are vital pathways that connect Galactic Civilizations IV’s new sectors together.
The Navigators have decided to end their nomadic existence because they’ve found what they believe to be the original Precursor homeworld: a bombed-out wreck of a planet called Arnor. When compared to Galactic Civilizations IV’s other poster child, the Terrans, the Navigators offer one of the most distinct starting scenarios in the game and will present veterans with an exciting new challenge like nothing before.
