No Man’s Sky First Intergalactic War run by role-players, explained - Polygon

Now, role-players are choosing sides and preparing to contest the systems in an isolated corner of the map, known as galaxy 150, in a giant showdown that may last months.

No Man’s Sky gives players a few destructive tools, like blasters for ground combat and rockets for starships.

And some players take up the role of the machine intelligence known as the Korvax, who roam the galaxy in robot bodies.

It’s a hostile environment, and players new to the campaign enter a galaxy where it’s all smiles above the table, but hidden knives are kept ready beneath for the eventual all-out war.

A destructive group of biological raiders known as the Horde are slowly stretching out, creating a base of operations that will allow them to scour the galaxy.

Some players are independent traders, coming to the war-torn galaxy so they can sell high-value goods to desperate buyers, like huge amounts of raw minerals or high-end combat modules for ships.

I've set up a network of trading outposts in the 150th galaxy, Zavainlani, where the First Intergalactic War is taking place.

As time passes, and each group’s reach grows further and further over the 150 systems in the galaxy, large-scale conflict will become inevitable
