The only known permanent structures within hyperspace are the mysterious Precursor Starbases. The captain can dock with Precursor Starbases to refuel, upgrade the Command Ship, trade resources, construct ships, and use the Hypergate network to rapidly transit to any other Starbase in the region, that has already been visited. The use of Hypergates allows for travelling between vast distances that would otherwise be impossible or laborious.

History

These starbases were built by the Precursors, a hyper-advanced species that has disappeared from this region of the galaxy.

After their creators left the starbases became inoperative. They have recently been awakened by the Arilou to work for the Captain, and only them. Due to the extremely long time they were inactive, the databanks of the starbases have decayed and some information possessed by them has become corrupted.
