Their Level-6 Ultimate ability upgrades them into a 'Super-Dreadnought.' upgrading their firepower and resilience but reducing their already-slow movement speed. They cost 1 Capital Ship Supply, 1 Fleet Supply and no resources, building automatically every 45 minutes. Dreadnought capital ships are produced from a free, unbuildable structure in orbit of the player's starting planet.The 'Expansion' series adds a number of extra features: The 'Standard' mod provides only the features described above. Maelstrom comes in two flavors: 'Standard' and 'Expansion'. Maelstrom features a number of new planet bonuses and types, including two new categories of planet-'High-Tech' and 'Giant'-which must be researched before they can be colonized. Though they now possess totally original ship meshes, they initially employed models from the re-imagined Battlestar Galactica. Their capital ships bristle with strike craft, but their ships have fairly low HP. Their economic upgrades are lower on the tech tree than that of most other races, and have cost-reducing topics (similar to that of the Vasari) available at very early points. The Trade Alliance, as suggested by their name, focus on trade.They have many research topics that increase the population caps on their planets, but all their research topics are (by default) twice as expensive as those of the other races, gradually reduced by researching certain specific topics that gradually reduce research costs. Their ships are quite powerful, and many of them have a new ability, 'Replicate Forces,' which allows them to clone themselves at no resource cost. The Replicators are taken from stargate and a cybernetic empire, assimilating races in a manner similar to the Borg from Star Trek.

They are relatively pacifistic, lacking a planet-bombing frigate and any weapon-damage upgrades, but have the ability to reduce the resource cost of their research topics to negligible levels.

They have highly-advanced technology due to their mastery of matter-energy conversions. The Norlamin are hyper-intelligent humanoids with enlarged craniums they were inspired by the Skylark series by E.

Maelstrom features three new races inspired by established science-fiction properties: Maelstrom is a mod for Sins of a Solar Empire that adds three new races and a number of new features to the game while leaving the existing races.
