Information moves by ship
There is no galactic internet. Every price, every rumour and every pirate sighting is only as fresh as the last ship that carried it. Fresh news is cargo, and it sells.
In development · pre-alpha
News travels only as fast as your ship.
A live space MMO of couriers, wormholes and an empire that lies. Fly your ship, trade on what you know, and decide who you carry the truth for.

Three rules of the galaxy
Players open the wormholes
The permanent gates belong to the Dominion. Every other route is a wormhole that someone opened, keeps alive with stabilisers and has to defend. Let it starve and it collapses, with whatever is on the other side.
Discoveries become quests
Find a new system, an anomaly or a wreck, and the news itself becomes work for others: surveys, salvage runs, escorts. The finder takes a share.
From the current build
The Dominion lies
The Kapihan Dominion holds the permanent gates, and with them trade, fleets and the news. Its Bureau of Tidings decides what is true, and its Seal Fleet hunts every illegal wormhole. Against it stand the couriers and hole-weavers of the Open Way, the besieged miners of the Red Belt Republic, and the Starshore League, which trades with everyone and arms the rebels in secret. Join a side, or stay a trader and sell to all of them.
