Star systems

Star systems are groups of stars, planets, or other celestial bodies in a common location of the galaxy. Hyperspace is used to travel between star systems. Supercruise allows faster-than-light travel within a system. These are initiated with the Frame Shift Drive. 

The constellation of star systems within the universe can be viewed in the Galaxy Map. The composition of individual star systems is visible in the System Map.

Factions can have partial or full influence over star systems. Inhabited systems have a market economy and government.
