Stargate

Step through the gate to reach the worlds already open. New destinations are added as they are built.

Galactic Conflicts

Fight other players in PvP, in duels or over territory control. Combat against enemy factions grows with each update.

Quests & Exploration

Follow the first quest lines, meet the NPCs and roam the areas already populated. The story is still being written, chapter by chapter.
