Dock the traffic Ops
Freighters pull up to your bays for fuel, repairs and a hot meal, and pay on departure. One bay, one ship at a time; every bay needs an open side for the approach.
Station commissioning · open to all captains
Command a way station on the edge of interstellar space. Dock freighters, trade their cargo, tap your banks, send expeditions out to chart new sectors, and grow one docking collar into a galactic gate. Then do it again around the next star.
Freighters pull up to your bays for fuel, repairs and a hot meal, and pay on departure. One bay, one ship at a time; every bay needs an open side for the approach.
Ships sell what their home world exports and buy what it imports. Set Buy and Sell per good, hold ore for a refinery, and ride the booms.
Every module earns credits by the minute into its own bank. A glowing coin means it is ready: tap it and watch the credits fly home. Banks keep filling while you are away.
Modules take real time to come online, from ninety seconds to four hours by tier, and upgrades take longer still. Queue a build, go live your life, come back to a brighter station. Antimatter skips the wait.
Send surveys from your docks to any of eight sectors. They come back with cargo, charts, Antimatter and discoveries for the Registry: ship classes, species, artifacts.
Clear rings of unclaimed space around your hub as the station grows, then found the next station in one of eight sectors: dust storms, an asteroid belt, an ocean, a ringed giant, the violet gate. One wallet across all of them.
Fifty goals in seven chapters, three live at a time. Finish one, come back and claim the credits, Antimatter and rank it pays.
Twenty-four lifetime achievements in bronze, silver and gold, from your first fifty ships to the whole Registry, each tier paying Antimatter.
A seven-day streak of credits, crates and Antimatter, with a livery token on day seven. Miss a day and you can mend the streak.
Ensign to Admiral of the Reach. Ranks are earned across every sector and grant real powers: collect all banks at once, a fourth mission, a bonus on every rate.
Twenty-four ship classes, twelve alien species and sixteen artifacts to find, with lore for each. Completing a set pays Antimatter and a title.
Every station starts on a small plot. Buy the next ring of unclaimed space, wait for the crews to clear it, and the station grows outward, ring by ring, in every sector.
One docking collar and 6,000 credits. Build a bay, a warehouse and a solar array, then serve your first ships.
A comms relay, a trade exchange, habitats and a reactor. Companies begin to trust you, and the second sector opens.
An academy, a bank, a promenade and a shipyard. Residents run businesses; you lend credits at interest.
A deep-space observatory and the jump gate beacon. Long-haul liners arrive.
The end of the line: a port the whole reach routes through.
Varro ReachA quiet amber sun. Every commander starts here.
Sable DriftDust storms the size of continents; ore and alloy at a premium.
Kessler BeltNo planet, only rock. Mining country.
Thessaly DeepAn ocean world; water, grain and Tidewater liners.

Purchases are handled securely by Stripe Checkout and charged in US dollars. Items arrive on your station as soon as the payment goes through.
Your commander profile saves to your browser every few seconds and when you leave the tab. Timers run on the clock, so builds finish and banks fill while you are gone.
One profile per browser, every sector inside it. Export and import it from Settings, or sign in to keep a cloud save and pick up on another device. Without an account nothing leaves your device.
Built for a desktop browser at 1280 px and wider with WebGL on; a landscape tablet works, and on a phone the bridge folds into a bottom dock with the panels as sheets.
