A meal. A rest. Another watch.
Even your best gunner has a breaking point. Leave room for good food, company and sleep, and send your people into the next watch ready for what’s out there.

SUNFARERS
After the stars went quiet.
A ship to call home.
A system to make your own.
Chase a fortune between rival worlds. Pull something precious from a drifting wreck. Find a crew you wouldn’t cross the void without. The life you build is yours, right down to who gets the best bunk.
Or step through the airlock.Scroll on. Your ship is waiting.In development
Your ship
Make room
for a life aboard.
Start with a hull. Make it unmistakably yours. Fit a galley for shared meals, find room for one more bunk, and turn every corner into part of a life between the stars.
Give them a reason to call it home
A hot meal after a close call. A quiet bunk before the next watch. Build the little comforts your crew will depend on when the nearest port is a long way behind you.
Put the whole ship in your hands
The guns, the engines, the comforts of home: they all draw from one reactor. When there isn’t enough to go around, you decide what keeps running and what goes quiet.
Your people
A better bunk can matter
as much as a better gun.
The person at the gunner’s station also needs dinner, sleep and time off.
Hire a promising stranger at the next port. Find out where they shine, give them a watch of their own, and see them grow into the person you count on when things go sideways. Look after them between shifts; their Focus carries that care back to the controls.
Life with your crewPeople you come to know
Watch rookies find their feet and familiar names fill your ship’s history. Those lives are in your hands. Lose a crewmate, and there is no bringing them back.
Keep it within reach
The captain’s
field guide.
Curious what kind of captain you’ll be? Try your hand at a trade, meet the crew, and follow a signal beyond the busy lanes. Open the guide and get a taste of the life waiting aboard.
Open the field guideYour livelihood
Your next payday.
Your next bad idea.
Fill the hold with a promising cargo, take a contract, or follow a wreck’s faint signal off the beaten route. There’s a living to be made out here. How far will you go for it?
What you stand to lose
Bring them
home again.
Call your people to their stations. Raise the shields. Send repair drones out as the hull takes fire. Every order matters when the ship you’re fighting for holds everything you’ve made a life of.
A fight from the captain’s seatAnd then, every 7.3 in-game days
The familiar
turns strange.
You know this crossing. Then the instruments disagree, the reactor stumbles, and the cargo manifest says something it didn’t before. The Listening has reached you. It will pass. What it leaves behind is yours to deal with.
SNOAS / Shipboard advisory
Local readings stable. Continue on course.
You know this route. You have made this crossing before.
What happens during the ListeningBeyond your hull
Seven factions.
One shared sky.
Beyond your next port lie furnace-temples, glittering excess and fortunes made in the shadow of entropy. Seven factions share this sun. Find your friends, choose your allegiances, and discover what each calls a life worth living.
