This map is the image of the alternative universe of the Sirius Sector. This sector has been modified throughout the timeline: Gallia never existed and jumpholes were never made in certain systems; however some timelines have happened that makes this reality parallel to our universe. Although, there is one thing that is clear, you are the player and there are many other players like yourself to decide the fate of this universe...

Introduction

Each of these circles represent a system. In a system, will be a number representing the armies of various factions. The largest number will be the one representing the system currently in terms of ship power although every ship power will be noted in each turn. Ship powers are determined how strong their influence is in the current system. In order to increase ship powers in a current system, you need to transfer ships to that system. In order to transfer ships, you would need to construct ships using your credits of income. This income can be made through various means, but most of the income comes from taxation. Taxation comes from planets and space stations.

Corruption and Purge

In various factions, you are able to instill corruptions into other factions and systems. When a system is in the high levels of corruption. It is more likely to obey the highest owner of corruption. Authority also have the ability to purge off other corruptions off unlawful and lawful factions.

Spoiler

Intimidation: Factions may spend ship powers to intimidate system officials into giving them something they'd like. Although, this requires little cost. The corruption is temporary.
Bribery: Factions may spend their income to bribe system officials into getting into their favor. The cost varies on a random number. The corruption is temporary however.
Piracy: Factions may spend their ships in exchange for income. Authority faction may have a chance to catch piracy factions and mark them as hostile and kill on sight.
Propaganda: Factions may spend credits to spread propaganda over a planet or a station affecting its content and how it might rebel against the current faction owner. Authority faction may punish the propaganda holders to their own fair judgement.
Smuggling: Factions may spend credits to put their products on the black market producing income on a system that is not owned by theirs. Authority factions have the power to stop it if they have reasonable ships to uphold it and push a fine that negates the owner of the black market's incomes for a certain amount of turn.
Kidnapping: Factions may spend various amount of credits and ships to plan a kidnapping. Kidnapping is a high-risk, high reward corruption.
Racketeering: Factions may spend various amount of credits to start up a racketeering operation which will in turn offer them credits income.

Black Market*: If an unlawful faction has several corruption levels on a certain system, the faction is able to produce a black market for all those willing to access. Black Market technologies are unlocked and allows factions to potentially sell their unique technology. The Black Market can only be corrupted once in a system and produces income based on a percentage of the system's income. It cannot be purged once made.

* - limited to certain factions.
