Stardock Over the Years

About Stardock
Stardock grew into a well-known company responsible for the beloved Galactic Civilizations series and dozens of desktop enhancement softwares, including Fences and Start11. Over the years, we've innovated technology with engines like Nitrous and platforms like Impulse. We've developed several titles across Sci-Fi and fantasy genres like Ashes of the Singularity: Escalation and Elemental: Fallen Enchantress. We've also established partnerships and published many other titles like Sins of a Solar Empire and Offworld Trading Company.
We succeed not only because of the quality of our products, but also because of the quality of its people. We have worked hard to provide an environment where excellent, talented individuals can connect with each other and reach their potential.
There's one more piece to the equation of our success, and that's you. Your support, trust, and encouragement over the years has been integral to our growth and vision. We wouldn't be here today without your patronage - so, thank you.
Here's to 30 amazing years! May we see many, many more.
