Fleet Actions | Fleets and Systems Influence on the Galaxy Endless Space Guide

Fleet have few possible actions on the galaxy view. Besides travelling through the systems, ships can guard them, block, conquer and destroy hostile units.

Guard

Clicking in the fleet menu in the guard icon (red frame) your unit become a guard of the system. On all strings connecting this system with other systems shields symbols will appear. All hostile fleets entering this system will have to fight your fleet to leave it. It also affects you, at least until you not cancel the GUARD option.

Blockade

System blockade appears automatically when the relation between the blocking one and the blocked one is at least Cold War. It's marked as on the screen above. Blocked system stop exploiting resources and using the Trade Routes. Also Science Points drop to 0 and Industry drops about 25%.

Invasion

Taking over the hostile system, you have to defeat all enemy's fleets in this system.

Icon marked by the red frame begins the battle

Taking over the hostile system begins with clicking the proper option in the fleet view. Then, the circle appears around our target. It'll change the color according to the invasion progress. Time required to conquer the system depends on the military power of the attacking fleet and hero abilities. It could take from few to dozen turns.
