	Each colony is a single planet. It has a certain number of tiles available to build improvements on, which is represented by its Class rating. It may have a special bonus associated with it, like a Shielded World's additional resistance to invasion, or may have one or more Trade Resources present. Individual tiles may also have tile bonuses that increase the level of improvements built on and adjacent to them. Each colony can sponsor one shipyard to construct starships, and simultaneously build one social improvement or project.		Each colony is a single planet.

	~~== Planetary Class ==~~
	Every planet is assigned a class, from 0 (uninhabitable) to 26 (paradise). The number designates how many tiles are available for housing improvements. It also serves as a cap for the planet's population. Terraforming (see below) can raise a planet's class.

	[[Improvement \|Improvements]] are buildings that increase the output or defense of the colony in various ways. Some, like Factories, multiply the manufacturing output by a certain percentage. Others, like Meditation Centers, don't increase output directly, but boost Approval, which then increases growth and productivity. Military improvements like the Champions Temple make the planet harder to conquer by increasing its resistance to invasion.

	Population can be expanded past the initial colony cap by building city improvements. Carbon based life forms require food to build cities.
