Overview

The living galaxy is the combined effect of many smaller systems. Ships move for reasons, news reflects incidents, missions emerge from need, and events leave traces in records, rumours and reputation.

Why it matters

The player should feel that the galaxy continues beyond the current screen. What happens now can echo somewhere else later.
