Starsector 0.97a is out! (02/02/24); New blog post: Simulator Enhancements (03/13/24)
If you are really want to do this - you may consider me as tester and <minimal> support.Road map is approximately:1. Create a star system (or create a planet in existed system) that will be home for your faction.2. Create a sceleton of the faction, including flags, known blueprints, used portraits and etc, etc.3. Create custom planetary structures (like station - nexus) and probably custom resources, used in there.4. ...5. Other cool AI stuff.
Here is a step by step guide!https://starsector.fandom.com/wiki/Intro_to_Modding
