Unlocks Ship Type: Juggernaut
Juggernaut These colossal constructs are as much space stations as they are ships. The juggernaut is an immense mobile space station that can repair and construct ships, which means it can serve as a forward base of operations during offensive campaigns.

How to get Juggernaut

Research in Stellaris is drawn: each area offers 3 cards at a time, weighted by each technology's draw weight (here 20) and its weight modifiers. Tier 5 opens after 6 tier 4 technologies of the same area. As a rare technology it is drawn less often, and some rare ones only appear after an event, a relic or a special project.

It needs no other technology.
