A look into Orion Sector (11.05.2024)

A small peak into Orion Sector.

Firstly, I want to thank all supporters, as thanks to you, I'll be able to commission more stuff for the upcoming module! Ashes of The Domain: Grave of The Colossus .

What is the Orion Sector?

The Orion Sector is an area located in the Orion Arm of the Milky Way galaxy. Unlike the Persean Sector, which was a frontier for the Domain, Orion was much earlier established, becoming one of the most important industrial sectors for the Domain, supplying it with all manners of weapons and equipment

How will I access the Orion Sector?

You will need three things: a Gate, a Hypershunt, and a Janus device. Once you have all three (the Hypershunt must be repaired), you will be presented with the option to force open the gate using the Hypershunt's power and the Janus Device. Once you agree to this procedure, the Hypershunt will be forced to constantly power the gate, therefore you won't be able to use its benefits!

Orion Hyperspace: Unique Phenomena

Unlike the Persean Sector hyperspace, Orion Sector's hyperspace is much more unstable, with storms rampaging across the entire sector, making crossing hyperspace impossible, as those storms are powerful enough to tear apart ships instantly. From information we found in databanks, the Orion Sector was using ancient Domain technology to stabilize the entire hyperspace. Hyperspace Stabilizers were located in very few systems across the entire sector. Once activated, the storms quieted down, therefore making hyperspace stabilized.

Glimpse into wonders of Domain

Being one of the main sectors of Domain, Orion had much more advanced infrastructure, much more than the Persean Sector ever had. Beside countless Hypershunts laid across the entire sector, there is a specialized shipyard present there, still holding still even after all through Orion Sector. Legendary Nidavelir Shipyards served not only to mass produce Explorarium vessels, or gate haulers.With sophisticated equipment present there, those shipyards served as main supplier of ships for legendary First Battlegroup, which at the time of Collapse, was stationed in Orion Sector.

Orion Sector Hyperspace Map

Due to engine limitations, it is not possible to replace vanilla hyperspace map, even for split moment, this is why I decided to create map plugin, that will be accessible via intel screen.

That is it for today's dev diary and for progress on Grave of The Colossus module, next dev diary will feature information about First Battlegroup and their ships! Remember you can always support me on Patreon, as your support will greatly help me with getting more commissions up and running!

Support me and the developent of my mod!

As you know, creating and maintaining mods takes a lot of effort, and most importantly time. While I will continue to work on my mods for the Starsector community, I do heavily appriciate those who are willing to help me in this effort.
