All the spaceships in the map are controlled by the game's artificial intelligence (AI), and they will constantly engage in combat against enemy ships, asteroids or planets to destroy them. Spaceships are coloured green if they belong to the player's planet, or to a planet that belongs to the player's planetary system red if they belong to an enemy planet or planetary system and white if they don't belong to any planet or system.
They appear on planets sufficiently big to store life, and are represented by a variety of ships of different size and attack power. The game takes place in a borderless and randomly generated universe, filled with asteroids, planets, stars and planetary systems. A mission start circle can be seen, along with arrows pointing to the other available missions.
