What is Space Nation?

Space Nation, the web3 MMORPG, places players in the captain's chair of their very own spaceship. As a captain awakened from hibernation by the Parousians, descendants of the human race, players must navigate a galaxy teetering on the brink of war. The appearance of ghost ships and the whispers of unknown dangers set a tense backdrop for an epic spacefaring adventure.

Diverse Gameplay

Players in Space Nation find themselves in a richly detailed universe filled with vast star systems and numerous planets, all within a 100,000-kilometer radius. Utilizing warp drives, they can traverse the extensive distances between Cluster Galaxies, Stellar Systems, and Planetary Systems. The game features ships of various sizes, from 30-meter single-player warships to colossal 20-kilometer Galaxy Motherships, offering a diverse range of gameplay experiences.

Three Major Factions Explained

Central to Space Nation's gameplay are the three major factions: the Ayers, the Research League, and the Saints of the New Dawn. Each faction provides unique missions and challenges, requiring players to adapt and strategize according to differing priorities and goals. Success hinges on a player's ability to manage these relationships while confronting the looming threat to civilization.

Explore An Expansive Universe

Exploration is key in Space Nation. Players will uncover ancient space ruins, salvage wreckage, and discover untold riches in uncharted territories. The universe is populated with a variety of life forms, from honorable traders to shady dealers, each providing opportunities for intense battles, lucrative trades, and crew recruitment.

Leveraging Blockchain and NFTs

Space Nation leverages blockchain technology, NFTs, and tokens to provide true ownership over in-game assets. Players can trade or sell their ships, equipment, and other valuable items securely and transparently using Immutable Passport and Checkout. This integration means that time and effort invested in the game translate to real value.

Jerome Wu, CEO of Space Nation, envisions a dynamic space universe: "Our vision for Space Nation Online is to build a living, breathing space universe where people with different purposes can live, fight, socialize, and be proud of their accomplishments!"

In-Game Currency and Marketplace

Players must also manage the upkeep of their fleet. This includes repairs, upgrades, and crew salaries, which require a steady income. Various roles within the game, such as miners, fighters, explorers, and arms dealers, offer different paths to earning the in-game CHR currency.

Through mining, production, and trading, players can gather resources and craft powerful equipment to sell in the marketplace. These tokens not only enhance gameplay but also give players a stake in the game’s governance and future development.
