The galaxy is divided into star systems, each with its own star, planets, and space station. To travel between systems, you'll need a starship equipped with a Hyperdrive. The Hyperdrive consumes Warp Cells (crafted from Antimatter and Thamium9/Chromatic Metal) for each jump. Different star systems are color-coded on the galaxy map:
- Yellow Stars: Accessible with a basic Hyperdrive.
- Red Stars: Require an Indium Drive upgrade.
- Green Stars: Require an Emeril Drive upgrade.
- Blue Stars: Require a Cadmium Drive upgrade.
Upgrading your Hyperdrive is crucial for exploring the full breadth of the galaxy and completing certain quests.
