Read full description

NetEase's first interstellar-themed tactical extraction game, combining immersive visuals and accessible gameplay to create an imaginative, futuristic interstellar world. After the First Interstellar War, the Sacrum Chu Imperium collapsed, and the Dawn Accord Organization was founded. Factions such as NOMA Shipping Group, Antonios, and Jupiter Industries rose to power, completely reshaping the galaxy into a turbulent and chaotic place. Countless star hunters have stepped onto the galactic stage. They command their own fleets, signing agreements and taking bounties from different factions as they venture into the far reaches of the endless Milky Way. You, as one of these star hunters, are living in an age of freedom, full of challenges and opportunities. Search for treasure and mysteries among the ruins scattered across star systems, deal with different factions, and complete specific tasks to obtain resources and bounties. Sometimes the galactic factions will even summon hundreds of star hunters at once to seize a massive enemy Space Station. The cosmos is a shadowed forest. As hunters seek their quarry, they may find themselves stalked instead. From every hunt, hunters emerge with treasure in hand and new technologies at their command. Will you lead your fleet to roam the endless void, Or, will you gather strength to rise from the chaos? The choice lies in your own hands, hunter. [Set course for deep space and embark on a treasure hunt] In a remote corner of the Milky Way, you, a star hunter, will control a fleet, take on a wide variety of bounty contracts and missions, and venture into the vastness of space. You will hunt for mysterious items for your employers and explore specific targets, searching for treasure and secrets in uncharted territory. Here, the possibilities are endless. Beyond the stars, what else will you discover? Only you can answer that question. [Shrouded ruins with peril at every turn] The universe is a "dark forest," and the ancient ruins of the Sacrum Chu Imperium are its most shadowed and dangerous thickets. As you steer your ship through warped rifts and veils of mist to reach the drifting ruins, you may find not the glory of civilization, but a suffocating silence and deadly temptation. Whether you continue searching for treasure or make an emergency retreat is entirely up to you. [Claim bounties and upgrade your base] Your adventure begins with little more than a small outpost in the void and a pair of Frigates at your side. By completing contracts and tasks for different factions, you'll earn rich bounties and vital resources. Return to your base to build defenses and production facilities, strengthening your fleet for the unknown dangers ahead and preparing for countless missions to come. [Build your ship and fight among the stars] Spore Fighters, Ceres Destroyers, Constantine the Great Battlecruisers, Solar Whale Carriers... Dozens of ship types and hundreds of fighters and warships, each with unique features, provide a vast range of strategic combinations. Fleets clash with striking realism in space: you can orchestrate ambushes along enemy routes or station your fleet to guard critical passages. Large‑scale, intense battles can transform entire stretches of a star system, spanning hundreds of kilometers, into no‑fly zones. [Form a Squad and hunt together] Across the postwar galaxy, factions stir in every cluster. Hunters can form Squads to take on missions together, and those who grow strong can unite with hundreds more in a vast Community, seizing airspace and territory alongside their allies. [Experience 3D cinematic combat] Experience fully rendered 3D combat with close‑up and multi‑angle views. Battles unfold like a movie, immersing you in a star‑spanning battlefield.
