Hades' Star

Overview

Hades' Star is an MMO where thousands of players participate in the same single universe. Every player starts in their own separate star system ("yellow star"). Over time, players colonize more and more planets in this star system, and they create trade and mining infrastructure to support their expanding economy. They also create and support combat ships, necessary to clear NPC ships in their home star, as well as to participate in diverse missions in other stars across the universe.

Players can establish diplomatic relations with any other player in the game, allowing them access to each other's Yellow Star, so they can co-operate in trade, mining and combat.

Red Stars

Very early in the game, every player will build a Red Star Scanner, a station that allows them to jump ships to detected Red Stars. These stars have a small lifetime and will go supernova after 15 minutes.

The goal in the Red Star is to co-operate with any other players that have ships in that star system, defeat the NPC ships, retrieve Artifacts from the Red Star planets, and jump back before the Supernova. Artifacts can be researched in the home star and will yield necessary resources for trade, mining and combat advancements. Higher level Red Stars offer more challenging enemies and better rewards.

White Stars

Players can organize in Corporations. Besides helping each other, Corporations can also scan for White Stars. A White Star sees up to 40 players from two Corporations battle in the same star system for Relics, a resource that can be retrieved to upgrade the Corporation.

Time passes by very slowly in White Stars: every match lasts for 5 days, giving Corporation members time to coordinate their strategy. The Time Machine is a feature in White Stars that can be used to test and validate a Corporation's future moves.

Blue Stars

These short lived stars only last 5 minutes, and are constantly collapsing towards the center of the star. Each player can only send a single Battleship to these stars. The 5 participating players combat each other, using their ship's modules and other NPC ships to destroy the other player ships and be the last one standing.

Blue Stars offer the fastest PvP action in the game. Regular participants receive daily and monthly rewards to advance their Empire.
