New smaller sector tiles ("interspace" and "deep space" sectors) containing the new planet types
New ships from the Lost Fleet to explore, allowing access to new action spaces, technologies, technology tiles and federation tokens. No standard Q.I.C. actions anymore - Q.I.C. actions are now only available on ships

Quotes (from this video)
- happy New Year everyone we have two player remakes exciting gamelines being extended and a new city revealed
- this is your board game news
- there's apparently an actual ring to wear for the ring bearer and something very interesting is that the cards in your hand are partly visible to you and partly visible only to the other players as other players can play cards from your hand
- I'm unreasonably excited about this one it's a straight up new game in the line with racing elements and dice to use so I can't wait to see what else it has in store

Quotes (from this video)
- The Lost Fleet adds fresh tools, twists, and tactical choices to an already deep experience.
- These ships fundamentally reshape the way you play.
- If I had to nitpick, the artifact tokens from the Twilight ship feel a little bit less exciting than the rest, but that's a minor complaint in an otherwise stellar expansion.
- Bottom line, if you like Gaia Project and plan to keep playing it a bunch of times, this expansion feels essential.
