The solar system design has been carefully put together to ensure balance and fairness to all factions and to support each factions play style.
Each Faction has an Origin homeworld that they will start from.
There are 4 asteroid field in an uncharted sector of space rumored to be rich with resources.
In the centre of the system are a number of planets each with a variety of resources.
A PVE trade sector also exists in the middle of the system.
Finally there is a GW sector in the middle for planned server events. This sector is otherwise off limits unless agreed with an admin or community leader.

Resources are distributed throughout the solar system so each faction must go out and get resources for themselves and put themselves at risk of running into Pirates.

Each Asteroid field will contain some but not all of the following resources: Erestrium, Zascosium, Promethium, Pentaxid, magnesium.

The planets in the centre will play host to Cobalt, Copper, Silicon, Sathium, gold and neodynium deposits.

A number of playfields in the Solar system have their own set of rules that can override faction specific rules.
2a Specific Playfield rules
- The resource worlds cannot be owned by any faction, all factions can mine on those worlds.
- Any attack on other faction bases on the resource worlds must be carried out as either an invasion or raid depending on your faction rules. (see invasions / raiding).
- Asteroid fields cannot be owned. Can be mined by any faction. Can also be defended/attacked by any faction against any faction (all out war/PVP zone).
- Open space playfields - faction rules apply.
- Homeworld space - faction rules apply.
- Homeworld moon - faction rules apply.
- Homeworlds - faction rules apply.

The following applies to all factions except where faction specific rules otherwise specify
- All members must follow the following faction rules unless otherwise stated in the faction specific rules.
- All Origin factions can exist of multiple factions.
- PVP combat is only permitted in Asteroid fields or on the titan world unless otherwise specified in faction specific rules.
- Factions are free to enforce their own rules within the context and principles of that origin faction providing they do not conflict with the rules of the server.
- No faction can steal another factions ship.
- Salvaging abandoned ships with no core is permitted.
An abandoned ship is a ship that has been clearly abandoned for a reasonable amount of time after it was disabled/destroyed.

- Except in Space, PVP encounters must not be overly one sided. Attacking another faction should be done with no more than double the enemy players (of that faction) on that playfield, for example, 2 defenders should only be attacked by a maximum of 4 players. Use teamspeak to find out numbers.
- Turrets must be configured to target turrets, mounted weapons and thrusters only.
- Destroying an enemy core must be done by hand (using C4 or small arms) unless it was otherwise unavoidable (chain reaction explosions).
- Manually firing turrets, mounted weapons at a ship that is disabled is considered a ‘♥♥♥♥ move’ and could result in pissing off admins - don't do it. If you have disabled the ship, try boarding it. Same goes for bases. But i don't care about HVs/SVs.
- Combat Logging (exiting the game during combat or just before combat) is a bannable offence, is only acceptable in RL emergencies.
- In space, if you are in combat, you cannot warp away the moment you start loosing, you must escape your attacker, once contact is broken you can warp away.

- The attacking faction must build an invasion base (see building rules).
- Once the invasion base is complete the attacking faction can start attacking the defending factions bases.
- The attacking faction can use any number or combination of HVs or SVs in the attack.
- The defending faction can attack the invading faction the moment their enter atmosphere.
- The attacking faction can defend from defending faction forces while building their invasion base.
- Either party can surrender and discuss terms, during which time a ceasefire is in order.

- Factions can raid other faction bases, ships without needing to build an invasion base first.
- The raiding faction must only destroy enemy turrets and the enemy core if necessary.
- No other destruction is permitted unless otherwise unavoidable (chain reaction explosions).
- The raiding faction must force entry to the enemy base or CV and loot as much as they can carry. Multiple trips are not allowed. Get in, loot, get out.
- Destroying the core is allowed if reasonable to do so, to gain entry to containers, fuel tanks etc.
- destroying/disassembling blocks/devices other than to gain access to the base/ships or parts of the base/ship will result in you pissing off admins, don't do it.
- If the defending faction start arriving in force, get out. Do not stay and fight.
- Do not take over the enemy base or ship.

The Merc faction can be contracted (if they agree) to help you attack other factions. These attacks can be invasions, raids or anything in space.
The mercs must accompany the hiring faction on the attack so the defending faction can identify who has attacked them.
Mercs do not attack other factions unless contracted to do so or unless in self defence.

Using mercs does not negate pvp general rules
