Get a jump on things by reading the updates, offering suggestions, etc. Currently the galaxy in question is a 20x20-sector quadrant of unexplored space that has been graciously opened to homesteading by the Ilsian Empire, who otherwise run the world. You can make your way as a pirate, feeding off the success of others, or work your way up as a lowly tradesmen ferrying cargo between struggling planets. However you do it, your aim is to control every planet in the quadrant. The Ilsian Empire has been generous, and has founded a protected zone in sector s1.1, where new players start the game.
