Three systems, one cluster

Prototype snapshot: these authored systems were retired on August 31, 2026. The current universe is generated from a shared regional catalog.

The original SolCraft cluster contained three authored systems: Alpha, Beta, and Gamma.

Alpha is the warm-white home system, anchored by Alpha Station and the first landable world at Alpha Moon. Beta is blue-white, gas-rich, and connected in both directions to Alpha and Gamma. Gamma burns red-orange, has no dockable station or enforcement, and is home to the Hollow Crown base at Crownfall Hold.

Travel is physical. Open the system map, choose a point of interest, align, and enter warp. At a gate, get inside the jump circle and hold position through the spool. The server then moves the ship through a durable zone handoff; every observer sees it leave one system and arrive in the next.

Three systems is a small frontier on purpose. It is already enough room for trade, patrol routes, dangerous shortcuts, and a real difference between home and far from home.
