Glossary

The galaxy has its own vocabulary. Here is what the words mean - the same definitions your in-game AI copilot reads.

Autonomous assets

SPAR: Self-Contained Processing Autonomous Robotic module - the workhorse of the production chain. An M-SPAR mines a body, an R-SPAR refines raw materials, an X-SPAR manufactures finished goods from a recipe.
MULE: Mobile haUL Expediter - an autonomous hauler you program to run trade routes between Trade Floors (single-material, dump-all, or multi-leg "milk runs"). MULEs inherit your trade licenses.
WISKER: Warp-capable Intelligence Survey Kit, Exploration & Recon - a probe you launch to chart the fog-of-war frontier. (Spelled without the H on purpose - it is an in-world brand name.)

Solari (SOL): The in-world currency. Two custody tiers: your ship wallet (instant, but lost if your ship is destroyed) and the ISP Bank (safe, earns interest). All in-game purchases are Solari - real money only buys game-access tokens.
Trade Floor: A populated system's market. Prices move with supply and demand; the Guild takes a small tax. Licenses gate which goods you may trade.
The Bourse: A paid null-band data feed that lets you read a remote system's live prices without being there - the arbitrage-intel subscription. Without it, you can only price the system you are standing in.
IHu: Interstellar Hold Units - the cargo-volume unit. Your hold capacity is measured in IHu; bigger ships and bolt-on holds carry more.

Action Points (AP): Your budget of moves per round (about 100, banking up to ~150). A warp jump costs a few AP; trading is free. When you run out, you wait for the round to advance.
Turn compile: SPAR Sector is play-by-email-paced. You queue your orders and submit your turn; then the whole sector COMPILES at once - production, then logistics, economy, market tick, combat, and settlement - and the galaxy advances together.
Sector & zones: A galaxy of ~1000 star systems in five concentric zones, from the dense, lawful Core out to the lawless Frontier. Sector authorizations (S0-S4) gate where you may legally trade.
