Each empire has 3 ethic points which can be spent on ethics. Each moderate ethic costs 1 point and each fanatic ethic costs 2 points. Gestalt Consciousness is the "true neutral" ethic for collective societies without individual agency; it costs 3 ethic points and requires either the {{iconify|Utopia}} DLC or the {{iconify|Synthetic Dawn}} DLC.

Empire ethics have a profound effect on options available during the game. For instance, diplomatic options with alien species are affected by ethics, as are some options for dealing with  [[anomalies]]. As a result, ethics choices have a greater impact on game experience than the bonuses and maluses listed on this page.

There are 4 ethic axes present:
* The '''Authoritarian-Egalitarian''' axis looks at whether the empire's political power belongs in the hands of the few or the many.
* The '''Materialist-Spiritualist''' axis looks at whether the unknowns of the universe can be explained by science or the existence of something greater.
* The '''Militarist-Pacifist''' axis looks at whether the empire's military should be used offensively or strictly defensively.
* The '''Xenophile-Xenophobe''' axis looks at whether alien species and cultures should be embraced or distrusted.
