lets start with the basics
Hopefully by now you've released Space: The Conquest is a sci-fi game through a Solar System. If you haven't, this is your wake-up call, for those that don't know what a solar system is - Its a system where planets rotate around a central star. STC is no different, and if you fly into the sun here you will die as surely as you would in reality. Similarly there are planets around that star, although they don't move and all have land, and there are moons as well, except not all of them necessarily belong to a planet. There is also the Void of Space which if you fall in you will die, other than that, that covers the basics of the STC System.
sentaria (900x820)
Sentaria is a planet with a brown atmosphere and a large spot on it similar to the one of planet Jupiter in real life. Sentaria has the most diverse biosphere of all planets consisting of hills, mountains, lakes, and is the only planet to have trees. It is one of the largest planets in the game with completely flat plains stretching across most of the planet making it ideal for making large cities.
The closest moon to Sentaria is the Orange moon. |
akku (900x894)
Akku is a fairly green planet and contains by far the most hills, although not pillars, out of any planet. The planet has several caves throughout it, has a 1block thick floor of fog at its lowest level, and is around the size of Sentaria. Due to the planet's environment it is difficult to create cities on the planet, when they are built however its generally in one of the planet's basins. The hills are perfect for ship builders as they can extend their ship off a mountain ledge with near endless space. Similarly the hilly environment leads many Akkuians to either build on a nearby moon or to create a space station.
The closest moon to Akku is the Brown moon although four of the five moons are fairly close to the planet, whether by accident or design is unknown. |
sertran (298x298)
Sertran is easily the smallest planet in the game with a size nearly 1/4th those of Akku or Sentaria. The planet has a large central hill and four mountains on its edges, with one containing a semi-large cave. The entire planet is covered in a water layer, which players can fall through. The planet's small size causes land to be important there, and generally only a small village may be designed on the city. Generally cities built on Sertran are the most detailed and compact due to the planet design.
The closest moon to Sertran is the Grey moon and is the only moon not near Akku. |
scoldran
Scoldran is one of the three giant planets in STC with the other two being Volcanus & Cylion. Similar to Akku Scoldran is both hilly, although its hills are more spread out and have flat and large tops. They also share a 1block thick fog at its bottom most layer and a series of caves. Scoldran is the only planet to have a frozen environment and is the farthest from the sun. Due to the planet's seclusion its an ideal spot for large bases or testing facilities, cities are difficult to make due to the fog and many hills of the planet.
The closest moon to Scoldran is the Blue moon. |
abidos
Abidos is arguably the most unique planet and confusing one environmentally. Abidos, similar to Scoldran, is far from the sun yet contains the hottest environment. The entire planet is coated in sands with a single river running through its center, the occasional hills, and a massive underground tunnel system (being the only one to have this). Similarly the planet is surrounded in a massive rocky layer similar to Cylion. The almost entirely flat surface makes it great for creating cities above-ground and the tunnel system allows for a large scale hidden base as well.
The closest moon to Abidos is the Green moon. |
cylion
Cylion is easily the largest planet in the game yet contains one of the least building spaces due to the fact a good portion of the planet's size is a result of columns of rock around its border, separating the planet into 2 sides, and creating four enclosed corners. Cylion is the only planet with a natural waterfall flowing into a river and lake. Its terrain is completely flat aside from the columns and hill where the spawn is making it ideal for cities. Its environment generally matches best with naturalistic cities meaning wood textured villages vs. advanced cities. Due to the planet's large size it takes minutes to walk from one end to the other.
Cylion is one of only two planets to not have a moon. |
volcanus
Volcanus is the only planet to not have a player spawn on it, and is the only one made both out of dirt and containing a volcano of any sorts in the center of it. Although it does not have an official name, its most commonly referred to as Volcanus or the Purple Planet. Due to the lack of any spawn or name, the planet is often used as a universal point loyal to no planet making it perfect for interplanetary communities. Aside from its defining volcano in the center the planet has several large hills around it as wide as the planet Sertran has land.
Volcanus, like Cylion, does not have a moon. |
the sun and void
The Sun is at the center of the Solar System. It consists of an outer and inner atmosphere. Both will instantly destroy any ship or player that goes into it. Despite this, due to the fact that it is dead center of roughly every planet or moon, it is a great spot for Space Stations.
The Void is the all-destroying beast of Space: The Conquest. Similar to the Void in Minecraft, falling into it means death for both you and your ship. The Void extends across all of Space, yet ironically a player can go as far out in any direction, except down, and not be killed. |
moons and planets
What separates a planet and moon is quite simply the fact that a planet has a textured atmosphere and is over 212x212 blocks in width (Size of every moon).
Moons in actuality contain two atmospheres. There is the outer atmosphere of its color, and an inner atmosphere with a light shade of blue (only around 1block between the two). All of the moons but the grey one are near Akku & the sun. |
planet quantiia
Planet Quantia currently does not exist in-game but sneak peaks of the planet were shown at one point and was believed to be coming in a future update. Unlike the other planets it is believed to be an ocean-based planet with 2 main large islands. The planet will likely exist somewhere between Sentaria and Abidos and similarly farther back then Sentaria is. A youtube video showing the teaser is below.
