Surpasum The Borts are the denizens of the Surpasum, they are only accepted when it is necessary to deal with radiation. Borts are derided for their physical appearance but they have managed to turn their unique physiology to their advantage and have begun to become a political power.

Ships Ships are produced via shipyard stations with certain default capacity. Both ships and shipyards can be affected by buildings and policies. It is possible for players to queue ships even if they do not currently have all the resources for the ship on hand.

Construction - Allows players to build or change assets. Deploy - Allows players to deploy their fleets to different stations.
