Build your own faction
Your ambitions can grow beyond owning ships. Establish a foothold, claim a sector and take responsibility for the territory that now depends on you.
Start with an Outpost
Build your first Outpost in a neutral sector to establish your own faction. Expansion can mean capturing an existing outpost, or destroying the enemy’s stronghold and building a replacement. Control is something you must secure and maintain, rather than simply a new colour on the map.
Rule the territory you take
Sector control brings taxation, management and the need for protection. Organise patrols, defend your stations and keep supplies moving to the businesses that support your growing domain. A fleet can win a sector, but a functioning economy helps you hold it and prepare for the next challenge.
Connect a planet to your economy
Where a suitable planet is present, build a Skyhook at its orbital site. The planetary surface supplies raw materials at regular intervals without requiring production inputs for those resources. The amount depends on the planet and its population. Its people still need supplies, so this income complements your miners and factories rather than replacing them.
