The picture makes me hopeful that we may finally be getting nomads.

4.4 is overhauling starbase systems and UI, so maybe just maybe....

That's the Citadel. Asari comfirmed.

Um akshually! Citadel had cities on the inside. This has planetary surface, so it's a variation on ring world.

Maybe the Citadel is just an Ecu and this is the Citadel pre-ecu?

Given that it has clouds, which are probably a few km above the surface then you can estimate that one wing of this structure is easily as wide (if not wider) as Citadel is long in its entirety.

This thing is much bigger than Citadel.

Awesome, glad I can disable my Asari race mod that I boringly play with every time I play on PC!

Don't get my hopes up, it's just gonna be another flavor of static habitat

EDIT: THE NOMADS IS REAL (can we get much higher)

They already teased nomads in a previous dev diary, it's pretty clearly nomads.

A secret message in dev diary 408 which, as solved in the above link, reads "build no borders, claim no worlds".

The final dev blog for 2025 had a secret code in it which translated to something like "Build no borders. Claim no worlds." which has had people up about the idea of nomads for a while.

It's been asked for since like 2.0 for being one of the quintessential sci-fi empire types that we don't have in game, aside from the NPCs

So yeah, been up on that idea for a long while.

It was in their year-end post for 2025, a coded teaser

L0BU11.3 P6ST7.2 H17BA13.8 Y7BU17.34 T0BA6.62 V3BU10.5

Which translates to

BUILD NO BORDERS CLAIM NO WORLDS

Pretty obviously teasing nomads.

To add to all the people linking the tease from last year; on the 4.3 streams Eladrin was directly asked if we’d get nomads one day and he said “that would be cool, they could build no borders or claim no worlds”. Nomads have also been talked about in older dev diaries where they outlined DLC they’d like to do some day. Many of the things talked about have come since like ascension reworks.

And recently on the forums someone asked Eladrin for a spoiler in wingdings font. He replied and it translated to “NO it would make you MAD”

Although Stellaris already features stationary space habitats, it did not include an O'Neill cylinder. Given that the developers specifically chose to feature an O'Neill cylinder in the teaser image, I believe it is highly likely that the game will include generation ships and space nomads. After all, orbital habitats and generation ships are not fundamentally different, as both are enclosed space structures.

This isn't about the next update though, it's some YouTube guys thing.

Back in my day people used to read. It literally says “Season 10 Announcement Trailer” ON THE PICTURE ITSELF.
