Place of hostilities “Esseles”.
The Esseles space is next to the New Republic and is controlled by its Empire. On this territory, the “Empire” has a post for intercepting information, which allows for the control of nearby territories.
For the “Empire” this territory is important, as it allows you to detect the ships of the “Rebels”. And to the “New Republic” this territory is important in that it removes control of its closest territories. And consequently gets an advantage in tactical and offensive actions.
Place of operations “Doki Nadiri”.
This territory is important for the “New Republic” in that starships are made here. The plant is located in the very depths of the Bormea sector on the border of the Ringali. The loss of this territory could turn into a big loss for the New Republic, and protection is important at all costs.
For the “Imperial” army, this territory as a key object, which will allow the production of modern fighters to be abandoned for some time. So it can provide an advantage over the “Rebels”.
Place of operations “Sissubo”.
Sissubo is the seventh planet of the Chandril system in the Bormea sector. Once around this planet, the Star Hawk pilot project was being held, after which it was surrounded by the wreckage of imperial ships. Large ships are very difficult to fly, as debris can damage the ship’s skin.

Galitan is a distant satellite in the Ringali area. Due to the elements on the planet, it broke up into asteroids.

Game process.
The pilots who entered the service will conduct space battles from one side and the other. And at the beginning of the pilots are waiting for primary tasks. After they pass, pilots can reach the main tasks of destroying large space cruisers. At the same time, one of the parties will have to fulfill the role of protection and cover its large ships.
At the very last stage of the task, players and their pilots have to destroy the enemy space flagship. Which will need to be the first thing to disable the modules and key goals on its body. After the destruction of all modules, the team may be assigned a victory.
The control of the spacecraft comes from the cockpit. The cockpit features a dashboard that reflects the status of the ship and its basic configurations. And also not a big radar, on which you can see enemy targets.
The developers tried to make the battle process as realistic as possible. To convey to the player an unforgettable experience from the combat process. Some ships fly at a decent speed and have good mobility.
For example, gaining speed, you can crank aerobatics. And controlling the thrust of the engine of the spacecraft, you can sharply turn in the opposite direction. And shoot in one gulp at the enemy ship, which pursued being behind.
