To do this, there are many hints and clues along the way. So pay attention to small details that may not seem important at first glance. Hint: the distance between stars may or may not be important :) - The (text-colour:#cc5de8)[''purple''] colored links in the game lead to Info Logs which may include helpful information or other interesting information about story elements. - Most of the stars, planets, and other story elements are based on reality. All the star and star system names are accurate and the distances between them are accurate as well (the distance between locations is reflected in the speed of the transition between slides). - The Alcubierre Warp drive described in the game is based off an actual scientific paper by physicist Miguel Alcubierre. The paper describes a way to travel faster than light. However, this requires the use of exotic matter so it is not feasable in real life with our current knowledge of physics. - Well since you read this far, I'll give you another hint. In addition to purple links leading to info logs, there are hidden links, which look like regular text, that lead to additional hidden info logs. Thanks for playing and good luck!

Both planets are very Earth-like and have a breathable atmosphere. The snowy planet Zerilia is homes to a new UN colony that were established around 50 years ago. Phillip's world has numerous outposts but is mainly a mining colony. The system is a hotspot for exploration since a lot of people looking for Legrand come here. Because of this, there are also many space pirates in the area.] (align:"=><=")+(box:"X")[(text-colour:#ff6b6b)[(t8n-time:1.5s)[[Back->Gliese 581 Arrival]]]]
