Editing Star System

'''Star Systems''' are the main play area of the game, hosting your ships and providing [[:Category:Resources|resources]], services, and [[Contract]]s. They exist within [[Sector]]s, and are numbered sequentially on the [[Sector Map]].

== Services and POIs ==
Service and points of interest in star systems include:
* [[Shipyard]]s for ship construction
* [[Colony|Colonies]] for trading and contracts
* [[Contract]] points of interest, including procedural and story contracts
* [[Derelict Ship]]s containing salvageable items or [[Research#Research Credit|Research Credits]]
* (In Survival game mode) The sector's final system, which allows the fleet to move on to the next sector

== Asteroid Belt ==
Asteroid Belts are star systems containing numerous asteroids with various resources that can be mined by the player. Some belts feature natural [[Star System#Meteor Shower|Meteor Shower]] events, which may damage unprotected ships, while others remain calm and safe for extended mining operations.

=== Features ===
* Provides multiple mineable resources
* Some belts include meteor showers as environmental hazards

== Metreon Nebula ==
Metreon Nebulae are gaseous clouds containing [[Metreon Gas]]. These nebulae are generally calm and do not pose direct hazards to ships.

=== Features ===
* Contains metreon gas for collection
* Typically tranquil environments with no inherent environmental hazards

== Zeleon Storm ==
Zeleon Storms are volatile nebulae rich in [[Zeleon Gas]]. These storms are characterized by frequent electrical discharges ([[EMP]] events) that can temporarily disable ship systems. Meteor showers are also common, adding additional challenges.

=== Features ===
* Contains zeleon gas for collection
* EMP storms can disable ship systems
* Frequent meteor showers present hazards

== Meteor Shower ==
Meteor showers pose a serious threat to unprotected ships, as a meteor hitting a ship can inflict severe damage. Players can protect their ships by employing [[Gatling Gun]]s to destroy meteors and installing [[Armour]] for greater resilience.
