A
Trade
Nations trade what they need most, from what they have most. Each route is an answer to supply and demand, drawn between the stations that need it most.
Welcome to Skyshift
Five nations share a cluster of sectors. Each one has what others need, and needs what others have. Enjoy the universe as it evolves.

B
Build
Nations build new stations directly, or contract another nation to do it. Traders ferry hulls to the new site — which shows up with its own final-station icon, just emptier than the parent.
C
Emigrate
When a cluster fills up, emigration happens via a Wayfair Generational Ship. Nearby stations transfer their people aboard, and once it departs, space opens up for the cluster to keep growing.
