==Gameplay==
The game is a first person shooter-roleplaying game as you play as the Explorer who has at first ten points you can put in the attributes: bravery (damage you can give and take), vitality (how much health you have), charisma (useful for dialogues and recruiting) and ingenuity (which can be helpful for upgrading weapons and your ship the Demeter.) After the opening missions, you are allowed to explore at first three planets to follow leads there, gaining more leads and missions the more you explore the planets. You also have companions with you with a max of two companions capable to join you on missions as they have their own powers and abilities. The game also has choices matter as in certain missions, you have to make a certain choice and that would cause some factions and groups to hate you while others to love you, with the only faction incapable of having a positive opinion is the Black Hearts while the only faction incapable of hating you is the ICP. You can do both story missions which some involve faction feuds as well as certain missions for factions including raiding bases and stopping convoys. The game allows you to upgrade both your weapons and your ship to allow you to be more powerful and take more dangerous threats. There are a few characters not tied to a faction but they are far too few.
==Planets==
*TBD
==Weapons==
*E670 Laser Pistol - a small laser pistol which is quite useful when it comes to combat as it is the first weapon you have.
==Ship attachments==
*Rocket Turbines - small turbines that can be attached to the Demeter to increase its speed, at least a little bit.
*Silver Wings - silver ship wings which can be attached to the Demeter to improve its handling.
* TBD
