the tower reached further than anyone knew · something answered
The relay hums behind you. The aether is quiet — too quiet for 1901.
Push the stick toward where you want to go — the ship turns and thrusts that way, and drifts on its own the moment you let go. The aether keeps your momentum. Charge feeds the
engines; scrap buys repairs at the Shoreham Relay (center of the chart). Cross a sector edge to
chart the next. Marauders hunt; sentinels hold their ground. Salvage what they leave behind.
Desktop: arrows + space. The shipyard at the relay takes orders — save your scrap. Wire contracts post daily at the dock.
