A Space Trading Game

One ship. A hold full of possibilities.

Build a frontier trading business through a ship-console interface. Plan your jumps, find profitable markets, and decide which opportunities are worth the fuel, cargo space, and risk.

In this browser prototype

• Explore a connected network of 40 sectors and discover new markets.
• Buy and sell six commodities: ore, food, fuel cells, machinery, medicine, and contraband.
• Take delivery contracts and build standing with three factions.
• Navigate pirate demands, customs inspections, and risky salvage encounters.
• Choose from four ships and install three sequential reinforcement packages.
• Establish income-producing frontier outposts.

Voyage days advance when you travel or spend a day in port. This is single-player trading strategy played through maps, markets, and decisions.
