 You can either buy your faction's ship from the [[Store-o-Tron]] once you get enough [[File:Credits.png|24px|link=U-nits|U-nits]] [[U-nits]] to buy it, or you can create a ship in the [[Ship Editor Terminal]].

-When a player logs into a new server or starts a new solo game the first thing that you have to do is pick a [[Factions|Faction]]. There are currently four different [[Factions|factions]] in-game. [[Hurles Co]]., [[Galactic Trade Network]], [[Sentinel Security Systems]], and [[Drifters]]. Each of the factions has their own specialties. When you start you are given a set amount of starting resources and your character is teleported into that faction's hub of operations. You can currently accept and complete missions for any faction.

		+	The galaxy is large and full of valuable resources waiting to be discovered. Some resources may be well guarded; you may have to fight for them against humanoid, alien or drone adversaries. Which star systems you visit, what you mine, whom you fight and what you salvage is your decision, but you may want to have some help. Your enemies will.
