Resources from asteroid fields are directed to planets where they increase manufacturing capacity. * A great deal of new ship hulls and jewelry * The extermination of two races during the campaign - the two exterminated races will still be available in "sandbox" mode, but will not appear in the future releases of the game. === Twilight of the Arnor === {{Main|Galactic Civilizations II: Twilight of the Arnor}} <!-- Deleted image removed: [[File:GCIITA.jpg|thumb|right|250px|Twilight of the Arnor Main Menu]] --> A second expansion pack named ''Galactic Civilizations II: Twilight of the Arnor''<ref>{{cite web |url=http://forums.galciv2.com/index.aspx?AID=160823|title=Galactic Civilizations II: Twilight of the Arnor Β» Forum Post by Frogboy|publisher=forums.galciv2.com|accessdate=2008-12-24|last=|first=}}</ref> was released in April 2008 [http://forums.galciv2.com/309155], the expansion added new content to the game, such as: * The ability to destroy solar systems with massive ships called "Terror Stars" * Unique technology trees, planetary improvements, and weapons for each civilization * A map editor and custom scenario editor * New graphics that reduce graphic memory requirements by about 90% * New map size allows for games that may take months to complete According to Stardock, ''Twilight of the Arnor'' is the final expansion for ''Galactic Civilizations II''.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://forums.galciv2.com/?aid=170595|title=Galactic Civilizations II: Twilight of the Arnor preview|author=[[Brad Wardell]]|date=2007-12-18|accessdate=2007-02-19}}</ref> === Modding === Significant [[Mod (computer gaming)|modding]] features have been built into the game in terms of user-editable [[XML]] files.
