Annex an occupied planet

Annexation turns a planet occupied by your forces into a colony in your empire. It costs Diplomacy Points, and the target must still meet the conquest restrictions.

Step by step

1. Open Planets and find a world occupied by your forces.
2. Select Annex Planet.
3. Review the cost, available points and protection conditions.
4. Confirm when you are ready to pay.
5. Open the new colony and check its buildings, workers and stockpiles.

The cost accounts for the number of jumps to your colonies. Check the figure in the form; annexing two different planets may cost different amounts.

The transfer happens when you confirm. Annexation has no integration delay, but you still need to organize the planet’s economy to make use of it.
