Star Systems
The galaxy holds 24 star systems with 4 to 6 planets each. Only the one you're in is ever built.
A galaxy is generated from one seed. Each system has a name (like Tauuna), a seed of its own, a number of planets and a level of life. Only your current system's planets are actually built. Every other system stays a short summary until you warp there.
Life in a system
| Level | Chance | What it means |
|---|---|---|
| Uninhabited | 28% | No wildlife at all |
| Wildlife | 27% | Animals, but no intelligent life |
| Primitive Colony | 30% | One settled world |
| Advanced Empire | 15% | Several colonised worlds |
Settlements are switched off in the current alpha, so for now this mostly decides whether there's wildlife.
Your home system
A new game always starts in a system with at least one world from each family, so everything the Warp Drive needs is within reach before you ever leave.
