About Stellaris names

Stellaris empire names follow a simple formula that is easy to get wrong: a species or homeworld adjective plus a government noun that matches your ethics and authority. The game's own prescripted empires show the range: Tzynn Empire (imperial, militarist), Voor Technocracy (materialist oligarchy), Kel-Azaan Republic (democratic), Blorg Commonality (fanatic xenophile), Ix'Idar Star Collective (hive mind). A Commonwealth, Assembly or Free Holds reads egalitarian; a Star Throne, Dominion or Despotate reads authoritarian; a Synod, Mandate or Ecclesiarchy reads spiritualist. Gestalt empires drop the political vocabulary entirely and use Consciousness, Overmind, Brood, Lattice or Network, while megacorps take Consortium, Combine, Syndicate or simply Inc.

This generator mixes canon names from the base game and DLC (fallen empires like Keepers of Knowledge, crisis factions like the Prethoryn Scourge, enclaves and marauders) with hundreds of original empire names organised by phenotype and playstyle: lithoid cairns, necrophage reliquaries, toxoid wastelands, psionic sodalities and rogue servitor networks. Below the empires you will find ruler names with Stellaris titles (High Hierarch, Custodian Prime, Core Intelligence), capital world names, flagship and fleet names, and names for vassals, prospectoria and scholaria.

Pair an empire name with a species name from the species generator, and keep the ruler's title consistent with your authority type: Emperor for imperial, President or Chancellor for democratic, Speaker or Overmind for gestalt.

How to choose Stellaris names

  • Match the government noun to your authority: Empire, Throne or Despotate for imperial; Republic, Assembly or Commonwealth for democratic; Directorate, Junta or Consortium for oligarchic; Horde or Khanate for barbaric despoilers.
  • Hive minds and machine intelligences should avoid political words. Use Consciousness, Overmind, Brood, Swarm, Lattice, Network or Matrix instead of Republic or Empire.
  • Keep the species adjective short (Tzynn, Voor, Xanid); the game prints the empire name across the galaxy map and in diplomacy screens, so anything over four words gets truncated.
  • Reuse your capital world's name in ship prefixes and flagship names (UNE Anvil of Sol, Sword of Tharsis) so your whole empire feels authored rather than randomly rolled.
  • For vassals and subjects, swap the noun for Protectorate, Prospectorium, Scholarium, Bulwark or Satrapy to signal the relationship at a glance.

Frequently asked questions

What are the prescripted empire names in Stellaris?

The base game ships with United Nations of Earth, Commonwealth of Man, Tzynn Empire, Blorg Commonality, Yondarim Star Kingdom, Kel-Azaan Republic, Voor Technocracy, Ix'Idar Star Collective, Chinorr Star Pact, Xanid Suzerainty, Scyldari Confederacy, Jehetma Dominion, Djunn Mercantile Guild, Iferyx Amalgamated Fleets, Kilik Cooperative and several more, with DLC adding Lokken Mechanists, Maweer Caretakers, Mith-Fell Commonwealth and Cormathani Thought Union. All are included here alongside original names.

How do I name a machine intelligence or hive mind empire?

Gestalt empires sound best without political vocabulary. Use Consciousness, Overmind, Brood, Swarm or Unity for hive minds and Network, Lattice, Matrix, Logic Core or Intelligence for machines, for example Vralthi Overmind, Null Array Collective or Aurora Calculation Matrix. Determined Exterminators and Driven Assimilators often add a purpose word such as Exterminators of Vash.

Does this generator include ruler and ship names too?

Yes. After the empire names you will find rulers with authority-appropriate titles (Emperor, President, High Hierarch, Custodian Prime, Core Intelligence), capital world names, flagship and titan names, fleet designations and names for vassal states. For species names specifically, see the Stellaris species name generator.

Can I change my empire name after starting a game?

Yes. Open the government screen (F3 by default), click the empire name at the top and type a new one. Ruler names can be edited from the same screen, and individual ships and fleets can be renamed by clicking their name in the fleet panel.
