Federations and Alliances

Stellaris guide to Federations and Alliances: form pacts for diplomatic and military advantages, choosing allies based on ethics and strategy.

As you encounter more empires, consider forming 'Federations' or 'Defensive Pacts'. Federations offer significant diplomatic and military advantages, allowing you to pool resources and fight together. However, they also require compromise and shared goals. Carefully choose your allies based on their ethics and strategic location. A strong federation can deter aggressive neighbors.
