Senators are hireable advisors in Xterium, each of whom strengthens their respective side of the game. Senators are hired using achievement points and leveled up: the higher their level, the stronger their bonuses.
Here, the senators are grouped by role: combat roles—Admiral, Tactician, Technocrat, and First Officer (attack, armor, shields, combat); economy and development—Geologist, Scientist, Architect, and Logistician (resource extraction, science, construction speed, contracts, and fund); fleet, intelligence, and expansion—Navigator, Engineer, Scout, and Moon Builder (fleet speed and slots, espionage, and moons).
