Hyperspace: Yithian (2024)

Each Hyperspace expansion civilization comes with a Homeworld tile, 4 unique Citizens, 2 Super Units, and 2 Super Techs. This species is the hardest of all civs to play. Not because they are inherently complex, but because of the mindswap which adopts abilities, weaknesses, and technology of another species. They start as “vanilla” Yithians, then might become Dacians, then Xk-13, and so forth, forcing their rivals to adapt to the new situation. Of course, the Yithians must adapt too – learning or figuring out how to use their new powers. The Yithian battleship is designed with internal nodes and weapon ports for a gigantic array of devices and systems. When they swap minds with a target species, they adapt the technology best-suited for their new bodies into the battleship, and so the battleships take on a variety of roles
