Population class

Part of the Population guide

A population class is a system's size tier. It comes from the system's population.

• The class uses the exact population, fractions included, not the rounded-down number used for workforce. So a system even a fraction of a point short of a class's population stays in the class below.
• Each class is worth the points in the last column. The galaxy map's System points mode shows them.
• Your faction adds up the points of every system and dominion its players hold. That total is its score for Path of Influence, one of the paths to victory.
• Each milestone that total reaches on the path gives your faction victory points. If the total drops back below a milestone, the faction loses those points.
• The system view shows the points next to the owner's name. Hover them to see the system's class.
