Stardock has just announced that their popular real time strategy game Sins of a Solar Empire gets a new expansion today from Ironclad Games. Titled Entrenchment, the expansion brings new defensive structures into play, as well as new options to the battlefield – all for $9.95, downloadable via Stardock’s Impulse platform.

Sins of a Solar Empire: Entrenchment challenges you to defend your territory with massive starbases, platforms bristling with weapons, armor and shields capable of defending an entire planet. The expansions delivers, as I already said, new features, including: mine fields, new and more challenging AI, assault cruisers and new, improved visuals. If you’re a fan of the original game, then certainly Sins of a Solar Empire: Entrenchment is an expansion you should consider purchasing.
