Command a ship in a universe
that keeps running without you

Buy it, fit it out, and refit it as you go. Guns, turrets, missiles, shields, engines, cloaking devices and cargo space all come off the same limited mass and power budget, so every loadout is a decision rather than a shopping list.

Planets and depots price goods by what they actually have and want, and those prices move. Run ore, gas, food, nanobots or anti-matter along a route you worked out yourself, and watch someone else quietly undercut it.

Combat plays out in rounds against players and NPCs, and every battle is saved as a replay you can watch back — the one you are looking at on this page is exactly what a pilot sees in their own combat log.

A daily ladder with no AP cost and no death penalty. Challenge any NPC you have beaten in the wild, or face other players with a ship and loadout locked at enrolment so the fight is about the fight. Scores reset and pay out at the UTC rollover.

Join a faction or found one, fly its emblem, and take territory alongside people who will actually show up for it. A military blockade lets a faction control who gets through a tile at all — it produces nothing and runs on anti-matter and hydrogen, so holding a route costs you something every tick. Alliances, shared combat records and a standing system mean your reputation arrives before you do.

A solar collector turns starlight into anti-matter. An ore mine burns that anti-matter — along with the food rations and water its crew get through — to pull light ore and raw carbon out of the ground. A foundry smelts the ore into metal. A factory turns the metal into nanobots, polymer or shield cells. Most buildings only work on ground that will support them, so where you build decides what you can build, and the whole chain keeps running while you are logged out.

One click, no form, no email address. You get a name, a ship and somewhere to be. If you decide to stay, attach an email later to keep the account for good.

New pilots start in a guided sequence that walks through moving, docking, trading and your first fight, rather than dropping you into open space to guess.

Haul cargo between planets that actually price it differently. Hunt NPCs for bounties. Build a factory and defend it. Take missions. Most pilots end up doing some of each.

Join a faction or an alliance, fly their emblem, and fight for territory that shows up on everyone's map. The Battle Arena runs a fresh ladder every day if you would rather skip straight to the fighting.
