Vast base building: Players can now work together to build huge off-world colonies, with the ability to construct and render far more vast and complex bases on screen.Awake and witness creation!

Each galaxy contains a network of portals (similar to Stargates) that allow instantaneous travel between worlds within a galaxy.
