A star-empire/exploration/trading game from late 90's.
It involved exploring star systems in a constellation, then settling down on various planets, from volcanic ones to desert ones to glacial planets. There planets had various resources; for example desert planets had abundance of silicon for electronics crafting, volcanic lots of coal-related minerals and metals.
You also had different factions, I remember 2 kinds of 'Knights' and there were Navigators, too. Each faction had different bonus.
Then you build buildings, from shipyards to planetary defenses, while slowly expanding your technologies and fleets, which at first get shuttles and fightercraft, later on carriers and death stars. Once you explore a constellation, you can use a Warp Drive to jump through a jumpgate into another constellation, often to fight pirates or engage other empires.
There was also neutral trading hegemony of sorts that carried your stuff from planets that produce things to planets that demand it for a small fee.
It also had 'build ship & fight in arena with it' mode.
