* TheAestheticsOfTechnology:
** The United Empire's ships are bulky and imposing, black and red with a chisel-like prow at the front.
** The Vodyani are grey with yellow highlights, their ships consisting almost entirely of flat plates and sharp angles with EvaFins and sharp points jutting from the chassis.
** Sophons, as befitting their higher-tech nature, lean towards EverythingIsAnIpodInTheFuture with smooth-white ships seemingly devoid of visual intimidation.
** With characteristic eccentrism, Horatio ships are segmented mechanical [[SpaceWhale Space Whales]] that slowly swim through the cosmos, covered in bronze-gold plating etched with intricate geometric patterns. Naturally, such elegant fragility pays through the nose both at the shipyard and in battle.
** The Cravers had to scavenge their way back into space and it shows through their ship designs; patchwork plates of brown metal barely covering rough internal sections. Exposed pipes and reactor spheres are common, suggesting a haphazard throwing-together of functional systems.

* TheAssimilator: Horatio's ultimate endgoal is to assimilate positive traits from the various alien species into himself before remaking those same species into himself.

** The Cravers [[ToServeMan treat all other forms of life as cattle]], [[IndustrializedEvil keeping captive populations in pens]].
** The Vodyani [[LifeDrinker drain a form of refined Dust from captured aliens]], [[AlienAbduction captured through use of what appears to be a high-tech vacuum cleaner]].
** Horatio performs a downplayed example; his Gene Assimilation ability requires a set number of aliens present within his empire [[InferredHolocaust all of whom suddenly disappear, presumably being rendered down into their genetic material]]. Late-game tech allows Horatio to forcibly convert non-Horatio species into Horatio.
* MasterRace: [[MasterRace Master Person]] more like; Horatio explicitly believes himself to be the most perfect, beautiful thing in existence and is intending to fill the galaxy with himself, destroying or forcibly converting any other sentient species in the process. Gains elements of JerkassHasAPoint as Horatio upgrades his genetic code; Horatio citizens will provide more and more yields in more and more fields.

''Endless Space 2'' is the fourth game in the ''Endless Space'' series, and the first sequel to [[VideoGame/EndlessSpace the first game]].
The various races of the galaxy are at it again, trying to build empires that are worthy successors to that of the [[{{Precursors}} the Endless]]. From humble beginnings on a single planet, it's the player's job to guide your chosen species to supremacy over the entire galaxy, by [[FourX any means you deem necessary]].
The game is slated for full release in 2017; the beta is available on UsefulNotes/{{Steam}} Early Access, and as such all tropes are subject to change.
