Elite Dangerous

Trailblazers launched February 26 2025, bringing a brand new opportunity to Elite Dangerous, the chance to colonise your own systems and spread your influence throughout the galaxy! The response so far has been astounding and humanity has grown the "bubble" at a rate that was previously unimaginable!

Since the release of Trailblazers, we have seen an impressive number of stations and outposts built by the community. However, this has had a significant impact on our weekly maintenance cycle.

Thank you for your patience following our pause of the Colonisation Contact to allow us time to investigate the issues being reported. We have made some adjustments and are preparing to turn this Colonisation Contact back on.

Thank you so much for your feedback and participation in the live Beta for System Colonisation. The response and engagement we have had has been phenomenal and you have progressed in colonising the galaxy at an incredible rate.

With Trailblazers just released and the brand new System Colonisation feature giving Commanders the freedom to make the galaxy truly their own, we want to show you why this is only the beginning for Elite Dangerous in 2025!

In this guide we’ll cover everything you need to know about how to build your own new colony and establish your place in Elite Dangerous’ galactic legacy.

With the launch of our Trailblazers update we will be bringing System Colonisation to Elite Dangerous!

The release of the Trailblazers update is almost upon us! In celebration we are bringing back the chance to earn paint job rewards through Twitch drops, for our Elite Dangerous streamers of all levels!

We're excited to announce the next squadron of awesome content creators who are joining the ranks of the Elite Dangerous Partner Program!

Humanity will be unbounded, our light will shine out across the stars exploring the furthest reaches of our galaxy.
