	* Alliances can set an optional '''tax''' (0–5%). Members automatically contribute that share of resources brought home from attack, debris, explore, and harvest missions to the alliance vault. Fleet return reports now show the tax breakdown.		* Alliances can set an optional '''tax''' (0–5%).

			=== Building Cosmetic Packs ===

			* The cosmetics store now offers '''themed building packs''' that bundle every skin of one theme (e.g. '''Ancient''', '''Arctic''') for a building category — '''Production''', '''Infrastructure''', '''Moon''', and more.
			* Packs are '''discounted ~20%''' versus buying each skin individually, and a '''partial purchase''' only charges and grants the skins you don't already own.
			* The cosmetics store is now split into '''Player''' and '''Alliance''' sub-tabs, so personal building skins and alliance Bazaar cosmetics each have their own space.

			=== Ambient soundtrack ===

			* An in-game '''ambient music''' layer now plays across the galaxy, planets, moons, alliance views, and the backstory, plus building-specific ambiance.
			* Control it with the '''Music''' toggle in '''Settings → Sound'''.

This update is all about '''Alliance Territorial Control''': your alliance can now conquer star systems, build on them, harvest and survey their deposits, research alliance-wide upgrades, run diplomacy with other alliances, and collect a daily share of everything your territory produces. The more systems you hold — and the longer you hold them — the bigger the shared advantage for every member.<blockquote>New to alliance play? See the full Alliances guide, or open '''Settings → Quick Guides → Alliance Territorial Control''' in-game.</blockquote>

== New Features ==

=== Conquer & control star systems ===

* Every star system is anchored by a '''Stellar Nexus''', a fortified core defended by a '''System Protector'''.
* '''Scout the nexus''' first to reveal its garrison strength and resource focus (its common and rare deposits).
* Only a '''coordinated alliance (FCS) attack''' can defeat the protector and claim a system — it's far too strong for a single commander.
* Win the assault and the system transfers to your alliance immediately. Its protector fleet, defenses, and stored resources are wiped, and the system center becomes a colony your alliance controls.
* Your alliance's '''first''' conquered system becomes its '''Headquarters'''; every system after that becomes a '''Division'''. Holding more systems compounds your economic and military edge.

=== Alliance buildings ===
Built on conquered system centers and funded by the shared '''Alliance Vault''':

* '''Headquarters''' — the core of the alliance. Unlocks and gates every other alliance building and drives your alliance level. One per alliance; its level caps every Division Center.
* '''Division Center''' — command hub for a conquered division system; its level can never exceed the Headquarters level.
* '''Vault''' — expands shared resource storage from member donations.
* '''Research Lab''' — hosts the shared alliance research network and reduces research time.
* '''Diplomacy Office''' — manages treaties and unlocks additional treaty slots.
* '''Archive''' — stores donated cosmetics, relics, and artifacts, and showcases alliance branding.
* '''Bazaar''' — the alliance marketplace for trading Quantum Shards into new cosmetic families.
* '''Engineering Lab''' — speeds up construction on the system it's built on.
* '''Defense Yard''' — enables building alliance defenses on the system (after researching Defense Protocols).
* '''Common Extractor / Rare Extractor''' — boost the common (Harvest) and rare (Survey) output of missions run on that system.

=== Alliance Vault & Research ===

* Members donate resources to the shared '''Alliance Vault'''; leaders and deputies spend the vault to start research.
* A single shared '''alliance research network''' with four categories — '''Infrastructure''', '''Logistics''', '''Membership''', and '''Defense'''.
* New research lines include:
** '''Alliance Infrastructure''' & '''Supply Logistics''' — reduce system upkeep and unlock per-resource refinement programs.
** '''Per-resource Refinements''' (Steel, Quartz, Gas, Iridium, Silicium, Elerium) — lower that resource's upkeep across alliance systems.
** '''Recruitment Doctrine''' — permanently raises the alliance member limit.
** '''Territorial Expansion''' — permanently raises how many systems the alliance can control.
** '''Defense Protocols, Reinforced Armor, Deflector Shields, Weapons Calibration, Garrison Capacity''' — unlock and strengthen alliance-built defenses and add defense build slots.

=== System Harvesting & Surveying ===

* Send '''Harvest''' missions (require '''Orbital Refineries''') to pull a system's deposits — '''70% common / 30% rare'''. '''Industrialist'''-class commanders earn a large output bonus.
* Send '''Survey''' missions (require '''Science Vessels''') for the mirror ratio — '''30% common / 70% rare''' — the best way to gather rare deposits. '''Explorer'''-class commanders earn the bonus here.
* Both run as '''recallable cycles''' (~30 minutes each): recall any time and keep what's already processed.
* Output is split each cycle: '''10%''' returns in your fleet cargo, '''5%''' goes to stationed Guardians, and '''85%''' feeds the alliance daily pool.
* Available from '''Realm 4''' onward.

=== The daily system share ===

* The 85% pooled from every Harvest and Survey haul accumulates in a shared '''daily pool'''.
* At midnight UTC the pool finalizes and is divided among active members into reserved personal shares, weighted to give newer commanders a meaningful floor while still rewarding top contributors.
* Open the '''System Harvest''' tab and tap '''Collect''' to claim your share — a '''Trade Union convoy''' delivers it to your capital colony (about an hour, reduced by Supply Logistics research). Collect daily, or that day's share is discarded on the next rollover.

=== Defending your systems ===

* '''Guardians''' — keep a fleet stationed at a system center to help hold it and share the '''5%''' security cut from every Harvest and Survey haul.
* '''Alliance defenses''' — build a Defense Yard and (after Defense Protocols) construct defenses on the system, strengthened further by armor, shield, and weapon research.

=== Diplomacy & war ===

* Manage relations with other alliances from the '''Diplomacy''' screen: '''Non-Aggression Pacts''', '''Alliances''', '''Declare War''', and '''Propose Peace'''.
* Treaty slots are unlocked by the '''Diplomacy Office'''.

=== Alliance Archive, Bazaar & branding ===

* '''Archive Collection & Shop:''' donate a relic's base to unlock it for the alliance, then any member can buy alternate skins with '''Quantum Shards'''.
* '''Alliance Wishlist:''' flag the cosmetics your alliance wants so members can purchase and donate them.
* '''Branding:''' choose your active alliance '''Badge''' and '''Banner''' from donated relics, and attach '''System Themes''' and '''Monuments''' to the systems your alliance controls.

=== Alliance Tax ===

* Alliances can set an optional '''tax''' (0–5%). Members automatically contribute that share of resources brought home from attack, debris, explore, and harvest missions to the alliance vault. Fleet return reports now show the tax breakdown.

== Improvements ==

* '''Harvest Fleet Optimization''' setting for one-click asteroid harvest: choose '''Max Harvest Speed''' (finish in a single cycle) or '''Min Orbital Needed''' (fewest refineries, with haulers carrying the load).
* New mail reports: '''System Harvest Report''', '''System Survey Report''', '''System Defense Report''', and '''System Captured / Lost''' battle-impact reports.
* '''Resource Protection breakdown''' in the building view — see base protection, research, monuments, and the combat cap at a glance.
* New alliance setting to '''show member online & last-active status''' in the member list.
* Member list now includes a '''Donations''' column, and your score now counts an '''Alliance Donation''' contribution.
* Shared scout reports now indicate who a report was shared '''for'''.
* Coordinated '''FCS attacks''' are now required to attack systems and boss pirates, with clearer territory-limit messaging.

== Balance ==

* '''Stationed fleets''' now lose ships when only partially defeated, rather than surviving intact.

== Bug Fixes ==

* Cleaned up migration data and localization, and refined battle simulation around alliance territory counts.
