Sector Report

Explore the Solar System

Every area has a slightly different vibe and genre to allow for tailored play. Jump through the System below to see what the main locations have to offer!

Mercury

The Republic of the Swift Sun

Mercury

A hardened yet flourishing world where humanity has transformed an extreme, sun-scorched planet into a radiant network of domed cities, solar towers, and subterranean mining colonies. Life here is defined by the dramatic contrast between blistering dayside industries and the cool, bustling nightside population centers, all linked by the planet-spanning Helio Line. Its people, the resilient Heliots, thrive through innovation, exploration, and democratic unity amid a landscape of blazing brilliance and frozen shadow.

Gameplay Vibe High-intensity sci-fi exploration and survival-tech genre with strong elements of political intrigue and frontier resource operations.

Venus

The Warlord's Dominion

Venus

A violently reshaped world where fortresses, citadels, and subterranean cities defy the planet’s crushing heat, toxic skies, and acidic storms. Its society is ruled by militaristic Warlords whose power hinges on resources, armies, and ever-shifting alliances beneath blazing foundries and sulfuric clouds. Life on Venus is a constant struggle for dominance, survival, and advantage in a realm where strength and cunning dictate fate.

Gameplay VibeBrutal, high-stakes militaristic sci-fi campaign focused on tactical warfare, political maneuvering, territory control, and gritty survival under hostile conditions.

Earth

The Cradle of Humanity

Earth

Decayed into a smog-choked dystopia ruled by a corrupt United Nations that exerts authoritarian control over both the planet and its off-world colonies. Its megacities sprawl endlessly in neon-lit ruin, their citizens trapped in poverty, surveillance, and unrest as the last resources of a dying world are squeezed dry. Beneath the Citadel’s shadow, resistance brews in black markets and underground movements, keeping a fragile spark of hope alive amid oppression and decay.

Gameplay VibeDystopian cyberpunk-political thriller style of gameplay, blending urban espionage, rebellion organizing, infiltration, and street-level survival.

Luna

Elysium of the Elites

Earth's Moon

A gleaming sanctuary for the ultra-powerful, its domed palaces, crystalline cities, and curated Earthrise vistas embodying pure luxury. Artemis City stands as the crown jewel of this celestial refuge, where magnates and political giants maneuver through a world of elegance, influence, and strategic social dance. Yet beneath the opulent surface, an unseen class of workers labors in the shadows, sustaining a paradise that was never meant for them.

Gameplay VibePrestige-focused intrigue and social-espionage gameplay style, blending high-society manipulation, infiltration of elite circles, class conflict, and covert operations beneath a polished utopia.

Mars

The Crimson Paradise

Mars

Evolved into a harmonious fusion of scientific brilliance and martial discipline, its surface dotted with flourishing biodomes and its depths carved into vibrant underground cities. At its core lies Ares Prime, a vast citadel of research and training ruled by a Stratocratic Council where scientists and soldiers are one and the same. Martian society thrives on discipline, innovation, and vigilance, each citizen both a scholar and a defender, united in their mission to protect their hard-won sanctuary.

Gameplay VibeScience-driven tactical adventure genre, blending research-focused missions, disciplined combat, planetary defense, and philosophical exploration.

The Belt

The Fractured Frontier

The Belt

A scattered realm of hollowed-out city-asteroids where rugged, cybernetically enhanced Belters carve out lives amid drifting rock and machinery. Its people, slender, zero-g-adapted, and fiercely independent, navigate a maze of tunnels, markets, and factories while resisting exploitation from the inner worlds. Though divided into factions, the Belt unites under the Belt Confederacy, fighting relentlessly to protect their fragile autonomy.

Gameplay VibeScrappy, space-punk western survival and rebellion, full of faction warfare, heists, guerilla tactics, cybernetic upgrades, and zero-gravity maneuvering.

Jupiter

The Behemoth

Jupiter

A realm of floating atmospheric platforms and vibrant moon colonies, each settlement carved from the chaos of storms, radiation, and crushing pressure. Life thrives both within the planet’s roiling cloud layers and across its diverse moons, from Europa’s underwater cities to Io’s fiery outposts, united under the federated Jovian Consortium. Together, these societies form a resilient, frontier-spirited network of explorers, engineers, and defenders who have learned to harmonize with one of the most volatile worlds in the system and thrive as the entertainment district of the System.

Gameplay VibeHyper-pop high adventure sci-fi romps that take players through the clubs, gangs, and drugs that run the Entertainment district of the Solar System.

Saturn

The Reclusive Ringbearer

Saturn

Floating cloud habitats and ring-harvesting outposts where isolation and environmental strangeness have shaped its people into pale-skinned, wide-eyed, introspective beings attuned to their world’s subtle rhythms. Its society, spread across drifting platforms and enigmatic moon colonies, values quiet contemplation, telepathic communication, and a mystical connection to the “song of Saturn”. Guided by a philosopher-council, Saturnians live lives defined by solitude, wisdom-seeking, and a near-spiritual harmony with their gas-giant home.

Gameplay VibeMystic sci-fi exploration & intrigue, blending philosophical quests, telepathic interactions, ethereal mysteries, ring-running expeditions, and investigations into ancient cosmic signals.

Uranus

The Savage Sentinel

Uranus

A brutal ice-world where once-hopeful colonies have shattered into ruthless tribes hardened by freezing deserts, violent storms, and decades of isolation. Its pale, bioluminescent-eyed Uranians live in fortress-moons and icy battlegrounds, waging constant tribal warfare with salvaged tech and augmented bodies under the dim glow of distant starlight. Though divided, they live by the ancient Balance of Ice, an honor-code that restrains chaos, and unite only when the Call of Ice warns of external threats.

Gamplay VibeSurvivalist tribal-warfare, combining brutal melee combat, clan politics, resource raids, harsh-environment endurance, and mythic ice-rituals.

Neptune

The Abyssal Enigma

Neptune

A haunting world officially deemed uninhabited, but whispered lore tells of “Abyssals”, humans twisted by cosmic radiation and alien elements into monstrous, solitary beings roaming its endless storms and frozen terrains. These spectral creatures, with translucent skin, luminous eyes, and elongated limbs, are said to haunt Triton’s cryovolcanic depths and Neptune’s violent cloud seas. Their existence, if real, is defined by isolation, instinct, and eerie adaptations, their true nature lost in the planet’s perpetual darkness.

Gameplay VibeCosmic-horror survival genre, blending isolation, environmental dread, anomalous transformations, and encounters with unknowable mutated beings.

Pluto

The Silent Specter

Pluto

A frozen world of eternal twilight where faint starlight reveals alien structures and eerie landscapes rumored to hide the remnants of the Chronians, an impossibly advanced civilization lost to time. Tales speak of explorers who sought its secrets only to vanish without a trace, swallowed by its silence and the strange phenomena lurking beneath its icy crust. Pluto’s whispers suggest a place where ancient technology and enigmatic bioforms coexist in haunting stillness.

Gameplay VibeMysterious, slow-burn cosmic archaeology & existential horror genre, mixing ancient ruins exploration, forbidden technology, impossible artifacts, and the constant threat of vanishing into the unknown.
