One ship.
Your crew.
A shared universe.

Every station matters.

A ship has four stations. Helm flies it, Operations brings colonists aboard, Science surveys what you find and Engineering decides where the power goes. Send your crew a link and each of you takes a station. Everything happens live, so the ship keeps moving while you decide what to do next.

A short crew is fine. An empty station answers to anyone aboard, so you can fly the whole ship alone.

When a colony calls, the clock is already running.

Colonies send distress calls every half hour. Fly to the planet, bring the colonists aboard and carry them to a station. A colonist delivered while the call is still open is worth more, and a ship lost with colonists aboard costs you dearly.

Everyone plays in the same universe.

The stars, planets and stations are the same for every crew, and so is what happens to them. You will see other ships working the same sector. When another crew empties a colony before you arrive, those colonists are gone. When you are the first to survey a world, your callsign stays on its chart for everyone who comes after.

Earn a rank at every station.

You earn experience at the station you crew, and each station has its own rank. You can play as a guest for as long as you like. Sign in with a Starlight account and your ranks and service record are kept between sessions.
