Strategic Coordination Center
Strategic Coordination Center is a megastructure in Stellaris 4.5.2 built in 4 stages. Each empire can only build one Megastructure. It needs the Strategic Coordination Center technology. All stages take 35 years and 5,000 Alloys, 10,000 Unity (the costs every empire pays).
Where to build a Strategic Coordination Center
The game's own requirement line, then the conditions of the first stage (possible) and of the planet or star it goes around (placement_rules).
Each empire can only build one Megastructure.
- Cannot build on an unsurveyed or habitable planet.
- Cannot build on planets that have unresearched anomalies discovered by us or any other Empire.
- Cannot build on a minor planetary body (asteroid or moon).
- Cannot build around a star.
- Cannot build around an astral scar.
- Cannot build on Ring Worlds.
- Cannot build due to existing Megastructure.
- The system has a starbase
- Cannot build outside Empire borders.
- Cannot build due to existing Megastructure.
- Cannot build in systems that have not been surveyed.
- Cannot build more than one Strategic Coordination Center.
- Cannot build more than two Strategic Coordination Centers.
Strategic Coordination Center stages
Cost lines with a condition apply only to the empires it names (bio-ship empires pay food instead of part of the alloys).
How it's counted
Totals in the head count only the costs every empire pays: 5,000 Alloys, 10,000 Unity.
Strategic Coordination Center Site
The construction site station serves as the base for the future construction of a Strategic Coordination Center.

Strategic Coordination Center: Comms
Powerful communication arrays have been added to the Strategic Coordination Center, enabling our strategists to issue unjammable, unhackable orders to our ships throughout the galaxy.

Ruined Strategic Coordination Center
The remains of an ancient military comms station. The damage is severe enough that repairs are impossible.
