Faction Highlight: The Kel-Azaan Republic

Throughout the galaxy the Kel-Azaan Republic are known for their fearsome battle tactics and their intense dedication to honorable combat.

The way this plays out in Stellaris Nexus revolves around the Kel-Azaan's unique resource Bloodlust.

Now, depending on which of the leaders you decide to play, Bloodlust can do a few different things. But universally across all Kel-Azaan leaders, the more Bloodlust you have, the stronger your fleets are going to be, and even better than that you acquire Bloodlust by conquering planets and getting into fights.

Of course, once in a fight there is no retreating for the Kel-Azaan, so be sure to always keep an eye on where your fleets are posted, because it's either win or die. You still get Bloodlust just for being in the fight though, so even if you lose, the rest of your fleets get a boost.

Each leader has some unique Edicts which use Bloodlust to play. For example, the Hunter has the unique Edict Great Hunt that costs 3 Bloodlust and increases all resources of a planet by 25% and gives you a permanent +5 to Munitions. Which can be a great way to set up your economy in the early game.



Meanwhile, the Conqueror has the Edict Invasion Fleet with a Bloodlust cost of 8, and lets you create a 5-ship strong Armored Troop Carrier fleet in any visible star system. Which can help turn the tide in any fight.

These are just some of the exciting Edicts unique to the Kel-Azaan which sets them apart from the others and makes them such a fun faction to play, especially if you prefer a more military focused play style.

The Kel-Azaan are perfect for medium to aggressive players, as well as new adopters to Stellaris Nexus.



Whatboy Studio Director Dax sat down with Network Coder Callum to discuss the strengths and weaknesses of the Kel-Azaan, and what players can expect when playing as them. You can find the discussion in the below video (which we'll keep unlisted on YouTube for now!):
