Each planet houses two factions. If you like to switch planets klick on the desired planet on the lower center of the screen (planet selector A). Selected planets will move into the middle of the selector.

The first faction on this planet is shown and if you like to switch to the second faction klick on the faction name in the upper part of the window (B – the complete title is sensitive).

In this example we have the Lantids on the planet type Terra. We would like to see the Swamp planet and therefor click on the brown Swamp planet in the planet selector A

In the upper right you will always thee the faction info.

The Icons with the background of the layout of the planetary institute show what the faction can do after building the planetary institute.
