Manage and Develop

Every ambitious corporation needs more than good intentions: it needs a foundation.

This section of the game focuses on the tangible —what is built, improved, and ultimately becomes the backbone of any sustained operation.

From the first orbital plant to complex interplanetary industrial networks, structural development defines the real capacity of a corporation.

Production Networks

From planetary extraction sites to orbital assembly nodes, every element of the network must be connected through logistics chains —and their efficiency can be the difference between a fulfilled contract and a reputational crisis.

Location, facility type, automation levels, and contingency protection all determine performance.

In some cases, a poorly placed factory can be more expensive than having none at all.

Research and Development

Corporations may invest in technological improvements, exclusive patents, advanced manufacturing techniques, or economic intelligence models.

Although the benefits can be immeasurable, R&D also brings risks: leaks, sabotage, or intellectual property disputes. Projects must balance time, cost, and risk.

Some technologies may take entire cycles to produce results —but their impact can redefine an industry or secure a competitive advantage.
