Hello Commanders,
We would like to share the details of our upcoming maintenance schedule. Please note that during the server maintenance, you will not be able to access the game.
Maintenance Schedule: 2021.07.21 (TBA)
Note: As this is advance notice, the content and/or schedule may be subject to change depending on the circumstances. We'll post a notice if there are any changes.
I. Interspace Content
A. Introduction
<Interspace> was originally the first hideout for humans to escape from the grip of the extraterrestrial force, CRUX.
In contrast to the normal outer space, this is filled with gas and atypical dark matter, making it impossible to navigate normally which was a suitable hiding place against the alien forces. However, it was a place similar to an evacuation fortress that required much more effort in terms of development.
As humanity continues to develop, it naturally emerged from this refuge and expanded its power to the surrounding galaxy until Emperor Banon abandoned his position and lost its status as the capital of the empire. <Interspace> was the home for the second generation of humans, who carried out the migration, and was the center of the realm of humanity.
Also, in A.D. 3450, the massive invasion of the CRUX, where all humanity was connected through the Tenebris, faced a complete severance.
B. Interspace Four Factions
1. Nebula Empire
Capital Sector: Raysharc
Leader: Banon
After the death of Emperor Banon, the Emperor's entourage, who managed to escape from the literally utterly destroyed Mapei galaxy, headed for the Tetmes galaxy. After Riya-Daybreaker, who saved mankind in the Battle of Light, Riya-Daybreaker's lineage leading to Emperor Banon led him to protect mankind and grow again in the name of the Empire. The emperor's entourage could not allow anyone outside of Riya-Daybreaker's blood to become emperor. They cloned Banon's DNA, which they had recovered at the last minute. The goals of Clone Banon and his entourage were clear. The Resurrection of the Emperor, the Resurrection of the Empire. In the Battle of Light, they take over the Tetmes galaxy, where humans first settled, and try to re-establish the nebula empire.
2. Empyrean Guild
Capital Sector: Genoa
Leader: Herma
With the Great Invasion of the CRUX, Tenebris, which connected the Empire and each galaxy, was destroyed and the galaxies were disconnected and started their own war for survival. This was true of all galaxies - even the Empyrean tops sent to Interspace. They are based on Primus Soth, E.M.U. the council was guaranteed the right to independent action with one special envoy. Their mission is to restore all connections between Interspace and other galaxies. In order to fulfill her mission, Herma, under the name of the Empyrean Guild instead of the 'Trader's Alliance', seeks to connect the disconnected galaxies by gaining all control within Interspace.
3. Tetra AI
Capital Sector: Moon
Leader: AI-Aether
In Interspace, which has served as mankind's first settlement, the old capital, and the navigational control station, the Tetra AI that was being developed to replace the system 'RIYA', the administrative control system of the Nebula Empire, remained. Tetra AI is a system consisting of four AIs in charge of accidents, and while building a database through communication with system 'RIYA', system 'RIYA' was completely destroyed by CRUX, effectively becoming the only administrative control system. Based on the situation of the isolated interspace and the current situation of mankind, Tetra AI will conclude that the best way for the survival of mankind is the resurrection of the first Empress Riya-Daybreaker. In order to secure and clone Riya-Daybreaker's complete DNA element, Tetra AI wants to regain control of the interspace and restore the connection to the entire galaxy.
4. Free Pirate Union
Capital Sector: Skull
Leader: Lukka
The chaos of Interspace, which was disconnected from other galaxies, also brought a great surprise to the pirates. As some of them built their own forces, pirates who did not belong to the forces were the only targets of subjugation. Among the pirates who are forced to lose in limited circumstances, Lukka, the captain of the Talos pirates, declares the unity of the pirates. Referring to Empress Riya-Daybreaker, who led the battle of light and built the nebula empire, the nebula empire started as a pirate, and in Interspace, a new beginning must also start at the hands of pirates, and he built his own power. They form a force called the 'Free Pirate Union' in the name of protecting the freedom of mankind and the freedom of pirates and fight to make Interspace their own universe.
C. Interspace Area Configuration
1. Sector
a. Neutral Status
- The sector is in a neutral state when no faction occupies it. It remains neutral until all the Citadels in the sector are captured.
b. Protected Status
- When you successfully defended an enemy invasion, 4-hour protection is activated and the defense fleets at all bases are automatically restored. No other faction can invade protected sectors.
c. Occupied
- The sector is occupied by a certain faction. It can be occupied by other factions in adjacent sectors at any time.
d. Invasion Status
- Another faction has infiltrated a sector owned by a certain faction. Invasion status is maintained for 4 hours after status change. After defending all Citadels for 4 hours in the invasion state, it will change to the protected state. (Defense Success)
If more than one faction owns the Citadel within the time limit, the sector's ownership is changed to neutral.
2. Base
a. Outpost
- As the most basic unit base, it can receive support from up to 3 defense fleets. The purpose of occupying this base is to secure a movement path.
b. Citadel
- It is a key point in determining ownership of the entire sector. The ownership of the sector changes as soon as all bases within the sector are captured. Up to 8 defense fleets can be supported.
c. Gate
- It is a long-distance movement base that connects each sector. Basically, to get to another sector, you have to go through a connecting gate. Gates cannot be captured individually, and when all Citadels are captured, they will change along with ownership of the entire sector.
d. Capital
- The Capital is the center of your forces and is a protected area that cannot be invaded by enemy forces. The Capital is where the departure, return, and supply of the expedition takes place. The expedition can immediately return to the Capital at any time.
D. How to enter Interspace
Step 1: Required Research
- Research Facility > Fleet Management
Expedition Flagship Formation
- Increase max number of flagships in the expedition
Effect: Lv. 1: 2 Flagships / +1 Flagship per level

Expedition Ship Formation
- Increase max number of ships in the expedition (Proportional to Space Dock's ship capacity)
Effect: Lv. 1: 50% / +15%~20% increase per level
Condition: Research Facility Level 35 & Mass Production II Research
※Note:
- Formation size is applied based on the capacity of the Space Dock facility level.
- Buffs that increase the size using heroes, ministers, policies, and others are not included.
Step 2: Select a Faction
- When selecting a faction, the faction composition and occupation status can be checked.
- To change to another faction, you can select and join a new faction 1-day after leaving your previous faction.
Step 3: Organize Expedition

- To proceed with the repair, the expedition must be located in an area occupied by the faction to which it belongs.
5. Return of the expedition
- When the expedition returns, cancel all activities and immediately move to the capital base.
F. Movement and War
1. Move the expedition
- The expedition can only move to the base occupied by the faction to which it belongs, and immediately after moving, the following rules apply the waiting time for movement.
