The Final Frontier

Space is an immensely huge "location" which is comprised of the space between physical masses. With respect to games the physics and scope of space is generally neglected, or ignored due to the limitations they impose on story or experience.  Space can be divided into two obvious deviations.

Our local bit of space. Notice all the objects?

Intrastellar Space

The spatial area containing stellar masses including Stars, Planets, Moons, Gas Clouds, Asteroids, and other Orbital Masses.  This is the area of space most often included, and portrayed in video games due to its relative complexity compared to the rest of the universe. Some prominent uses of Intrastellar space (both realistic and fanciful) are in games such as Super Mario Galaxy, or Descent: FreeSpace - The Great War.





An easy way to get around the pesky vastness of space.

Interstellar Space

The more neglected deviation of space, Interstellar space is usually left out of games due to its immense scale and lack of much physical matter. Although it is BIG, it is also hella empty and boring. Interstellar Space is full of celestrial objects, such objects include Trillions upon trillions of stars, red and brown dwarfs, normal main sequence stars (ex. The Sun), Red Giants, and the rare but well known hypergiants, Black Holes, nova, supernova and hypernova, star remnants such as neutron stars, and Millions upon Millions of Galaxies, all in observable universe, interstellar space is a now common subject to some video games, Sins of a Solar Empire, Mass Effect, and the popular Star Wars series. Traversing interstellar space is usually tackled though use of "Hyperdrive" or other such device in the context of a game's story, while it has also been thoroughly ignored though use of "galactic maps" or other such things in games as is demonstrated in Star Wars: Empire at War.
