What a pack holds
Worlds, ships, upgrades and more
- Worlds
- A real planet, one deed each. Claim it and it is yours.
- Ships
- Hulls in five ranks. Higher ranks carry more upgrades.
- Upgrades
- Rig components that favor the worlds they were built for.
- Lumen and caches
- Refined Lumen for the shipyard and crates of raw material.

The yard
Collect ships, and upgrade them for real power.
Ships come from packs and the exchange. Some are rare, a few are one of one. Fit them with upgrades, dock them at your worlds, and they change what those worlds give you.
Flagship
command · carries anything, does everything a little better
Refinery
industry · distils Exotic Matter, runs synthesizers
Prospector
mining tug · lifts every seam, drives extractors
Hauler
logistics · stretches storage, drives cargo lattices
Surveyor
light hull · a little of everything, cheap refits

A world is not a trophy. It is a site.
What a planet yields comes from what it measurably is. Iron from molten cores. Water ice from frozen shells. Silicate glass out of the storm decks of hot Jupiters. Exotic matter only from the worlds we cannot yet explain.
Level an outpost up and it works harder: faster extraction, more docking slots, and a deeper hold before the seams back up. There is always another tier to build toward.

Each portrait is raytraced from the world's own measurements — its radius, its temperature, the light of the star it orbits.
Proxima Cen b
The world next door, circling the Sun's nearest neighbour four light-years out.
Terrestrial · 4.2 ly · 2016
TRAPPIST-1 e
One of seven siblings packed around an ultracool dwarf — a leading candidate for liquid water.
Terrestrial · 40.5 ly · 2017
HD 189733 b
A deep-blue giant where the forecast calls for molten glass rain, blowing sideways.
Gas Giant · 64.4 ly · 2005
TrES-2 b
Darker than coal. It reflects less than one percent of the light that strikes it.
Gas Giant · 702 ly · 2006
