Manual:Star System

A system is a major system in a universe. This is more than just a star. There are lots of stars in every universe. It's also more than just a star system with life in it; there are tons of those, too.

A system, in the context of First Empire, is the center of another empire. Not one as ancient or powerful as you and your people.

Empire Relationship
Each system you've discovered has some Relationship with your empire. That relationship governs how that system influences your Total Strength as well as how it influences your ability to affect other, further away systems.

Strength Profile
Each system has its own Strength Profile. A system's strength profile represents how resistant it is to various relationships, how much it adds to or subtracts from your At-Distance Strength Profile, and how great a reward it grants for each Relationship.
