# Influence

The Influence of a [Space Station](/wiki/space-station/) is equal the the combined levels of the
following modules on a [Space Station](/wiki/space-station/).

- [Art Museum](/wiki/art-museum/)
- [Culinary Institute](/wiki/culinary-institute/)
- [Opera House](/wiki/opera-house/)
- [Interstellar Broadcast System](/wiki/interstellar-broadcast-system/)

A Station cannot sieze more stars than it has points of influence. A
[Space station](/wiki/space-station/) can attempt to seize more stars than it has influence but when
the propositions pass the seizing will fail.

Should a station loose influence points the station will lose control over stars starting with the
last one siezed until the influence point total balances out.

Siezed stars are also the primary factor in determining an [alliances](/wiki/alliances/) rank.
