Players can discover, explore, and unlock new star systems, expanding the boundaries of known space. Each newly explored system brings opportunities for colonization, resource extraction, and strategic advantage. By contributing to the dynamic growth of the game world, players shape the future of Pilgrims.

Factions allow players to band together under a shared banner, forming powerful alliances similar to guilds in classic MMORPGs. Together, members can coordinate exploration, trade, warfare, and colonization efforts—shaping the political landscape of the galaxy and achieving goals no single player could reach alone.

The Battle Engine is a powerful algorithm that simulates and resolves fleet encounters in deep space. Taking into account ship configurations, tactics, and technological advantages, it delivers detailed and dynamic battle outcomes. Every clash is more than just numbers—it's a strategic confrontation where planning, adaptation, and fleet composition decide the victor.

This feature allows players and their factions to influence and shape entire star systems. Key values such as security, economic stability, and infrastructure can be improved—or destabilized—through strategic actions. Whether establishing a thriving trade hub or enforcing military control, players directly impact the political and economic state of the galaxy.

The Galactic Tick is the heartbeat of the game universe—a 24-hour cycle that processes all system-wide changes. From shifts in economic stability to the rise and fall of security levels, it reflects the ongoing influence of player actions and faction strategies. Every tick brings new opportunities, consequences, and the evolving story of the galaxy.

Backend Moderation empowers administrators and moderators with full control over the game world. From managing player activity and system status to triggering events or balancing gameplay elements, this powerful toolkit ensures a stable, fair, and evolving universe—shaped not only by players, but guided by those who oversee it.

NPC Factions introduce a dynamic PvE element to the game, adding depth and unpredictability to the galaxy. These AI-controlled groups pursue their own agendas—be it expansion, trade, or conflict—and interact with player factions through diplomacy, warfare, and competition. They bring life to unclaimed systems and challenge players to adapt, ally, or resist.

Random Events bring unpredictability and excitement to the galaxy. From sudden system-wide crises and natural disasters to mysterious signals and pirate ambushes, these events can disrupt trade routes, force exploration fleets to retreat, or plunge entire systems into chaos. Players must adapt quickly—because in space, the unexpected is always just around the corner.

Cleanup is the final step before open beta—a thorough process of refining, optimizing, and polishing the entire project. From fixing lingering bugs and balancing mechanics to removing legacy code and streamlining performance, Cleanup ensures the game is stable, efficient, and ready for a wider audience. It’s the calm before the launch.
