Galactic Exploration (formerly Space Simulator) is a 2016 video game based on exploring a solar system called Dragunov System. Its time system goes from CE to ACE. (Common Era 0-3999) and (After Common Era 4000 CE-Present (which is 11 ACE))

It has a G-Class star called Holdestro. It also has six planets (in order)

  1. Trodejius is a medium-sized rocky planet. It is not the hottest planet yet being closest to Holdestro.
  2. Soniodreavus is a cliff-covered planet with massive beaches and small jungles. Its oceans are shallow, with the deepest area being only 1.7 miles deep.
  3. Katarrun is a large lava planet, with thousands of volcanoes, called "yuelos" (ye-el-los) which most are connected by underground "vein" tunnels. It used to have a moon, Nurax. It collided with it in 1361, making Katarrun a lava planet, if it already was not. Its crater is still visible from space to the present day in the game. The crater's "rim" eroded after thousands of years; however, it is still visible from the surface of the planet, acting as a valley to the planet's cultural and population centers.
  4. Terra is the planet that the player starts on. It has a large ocean and multiple mountainous landmasses.
  5. Huikaldas is a semi-ocean planet, with many islands with steep cliffs. In the game, it experiences a five-year civil war. (11 ACE to 16 ACE). It is the largest planet in the game, and also a very important planet.
  6. Tayshyyk is a large snow-ice planet, with only a few intelligent species. It has large cliffs and small oceans, which are usually frozen, however in the planet's summertime, the oceans are usually hot enough for them to still be in a liquid form, rather than ice. It is the second largest planet.

There are three moons in the games.

  1. Sondarnia is the moon of Soniodreavus. It is similar to Terra, having large oceans and mountainous areas.
  2. Glocioa is a rocky moon, the only celestial object in the game without an atmosphere. It is the moon of Terra.
  3. Koaldas is a faraway moon, being the moon of Tayshyyk. It only has one intelligent lifeform on the planet. It has a thin atmosphere and lacks water. It is rich in minerals and materials; however, the natives of the planet do not use them.

Events in the game

The first event in the game is the Hui Civil War. It has two sides, the Hui Republic (referred to as the Federation), and the Hui Federal Republic. The Hui Federal Republic was funded by nationalist-federalist rebels from the imperialist Kingdom of Katarrun. It is a proxy war, as the Republic of Tayshyyk funds the Federation.

If you are playing on 4 ACE (Gamemode), the first event is the Separatist War. It involves multiple factions; however, the main ones are the Republic of Terra, and the Confederation of Independent Systems (CIS) (totally not a Star Wars reference.) The CIS is secretly Soniodreavus. The CIS teams up with the Frozen Legion, which would soon become the Northern Legion, then the Northern Republic alternatively called the Republic of Tayshyyk. The ending battle of the war takes place on the Kelter Mountain Range of Tayshyyk. Eventually, the Republic of Terra is demolished, soon leading to a multi-sided Civil War.

Game Modes

Since GE's release on April 16th, 2016, it has 2 vanilla game modes, 4 ACE, and 11 ACE. 4 ACE takes place in what would be considered 4003 CE. It has many events, like the Separatist War and the Terran Civil War. 11 ACE has the Hui Civil War and the Imperialist Wars, which are a series of invasions for Katarrun to rule the solar system that it is in, becoming the Solar Empire.

Builds

There are several "Builds" which can be for a military, constructive, or other purpose. These builds include

Civilization

  • City/Colony, which is the heart of construction and a nation.
  • Space Station, which is a normal space station with solar panels.
  • Satellite, which is a satellite with solar panels.
  • Factory, which can produce more builds like Orbital Laser Station and Space Stations, and Satellites.
  • Geothermal Heat/Electricity factories can produce heat and electricity. It does not have much purpose; however, it can be used to power cities, habitation domes, and Orbital Laser Stations.
  • Oil Rig/Platforms can drill Oil from anywhere, effectively in ocean areas. Oil can be used for ships.
  • Orbital Laser Stations are massive space stations armed mainly with a large laser, capable of destroying large areas on planets.
  • Military Bases can produce military builds. They can also be used as a repair area for military builds.
  • Habitation Domes are used for areas that are low in oxygen or atmospheric needs. Useful for colonization efforts.
