Summary
Space is vast and nearly infinite, with celestial bodies and asteroids full of materials to mine.
Scale
The currently charted star system contains:
- Eos, a gas giant, 11,000 km in diameter
- Various moons
- An asteroid belt 2,200 km wide (edge to edge) and 200 km thick (from top to bottom)
- The asteroid belt density will increase at the center (200/km3 to 2000/km3 approximation)
updated map:
Asteroids
Asteroids come in various sizes, containing an exterior shell and an interior core that are both made up of usable materials. Asteroids can be broken apart and mined on-site, or hauled entirely to a station for refinement.
These are the current asteroid sizes found in the galaxy:
Safe Zones
Major stations exist within safe zones controlled by large factions in order for peace to be maintained between the galaxy's inhabitants.
Safe zones are restricted to these major stations, though eventually safe zones can be established elsewhere in the galaxy as well.
Moons
Eos has ten moons, the closest being around 20000km (55 hours at 100 m/s ) from the asteroid belt. The largest moon is thought to be 1000km in diameter.
On the 20th of May, 2020, at around 10:45 Greenwich Mean Time, the player hatmanjmc was the first player to set foot on the moon Elysium after crash landing due to rangefinder malfunction. He proceeded to place a flag for the Collective, making them the first faction to have a member on the moon.
