This update nearly doubles the game's offerings with new worlds, enemies, and missions to tackle. If you're new to the scene, *Stellar Mercenaries* is your go-to vertical-scrolling action arcade space shooter, where you'll dive into procedurally generated missions, fine-tune your ships and weapons, and aim to become the most feared mercenary across the solar system.

What’s New in the Jupiter Expansion of Stellar Mercenaries?

The expansion turns Jupiter and its moons—Ganymede, Io, and Europa—into intense battlegrounds. Each moon offers unique challenges: Ganymede, a barren wasteland; Io, blanketed in volcanic debris; and Europa, a frozen, treacherous terrain. Meanwhile, Jupiter itself is a storm-riddled arena. Alongside these new locales, two new factions enter the fray: the powerful Jovian Empire, aiming to control the region, and the chaotic Pirate Council, a loose alliance of outlaws.

With the Jupiter Expansion, you'll have 50 fresh missions to conquer, featuring new objectives like hyperspace hunting, piracy, escort duties, and train defense. The update also introduces six new ships—Raider, Goblin, Mako, Boxer, Lightning, and Skybreaker—and a suite of new weapons including the Hyper Velocity Mortar, Plasma Seeker, EMP Rockets, Mauler Cannon, Electron Beam, and Neutron Beam.

There Are New Hazards, Shields, and More

The Jupiter Expansion isn't just about new places and faces; it also ramps up the challenge with Tier 4 shields and armor. New hazards like asteroid fields, elite enemy squadrons, and the formidable Pacifier await. Some enemy mercenaries have stepped up their game with new classes such as Nightmare, Riot, and Warhawk, making your encounters even more thrilling.

To keep the adrenaline pumping, the expansion adds 14 new music tracks and introduces a new side missions system. With all these additions, there's never been a better time to dive into *Stellar Mercenaries*.
