Solar Atlas

Explore the Solar System

Exploration

Fly between worlds

Borrow a free Scout from the Hangar and fly anywhere in peaceful Exploration. There are no collisions and nothing to lose, so it is a good place to learn the controls.

Game capture: Training Patrol with the HP and Nitro meters, the centred target marker, a practice drone and the Scout near the Moon.

The worlds

A stylized Solar System, built from the real catalogue

The Sun, 8 planets, 5 dwarf planets and 465 moons, each with its real name and a short science profile. The 34 featured worlds get a detailed look and a ring of orbital habitats.

Start at Earth

Deeds, plainly

Collectible deeds for worlds and habitats

What a deed is

A digital collectible with in-game stewardship rights for one world or one orbital habitat. There are 751, and every one is in the Atlas.

What it is not

It is not ownership of a real planet, land or minerals, and not an investment or a share of revenue. It never makes a ship faster or stronger.

Can I get one?

Not yet. This is a devnet test build and real-money sales are off. Prices and what will be offered have not been decided.

Questions

FAQ

Is Starhold free to play?

Yes. Exploration and solo Training Patrol use a borrowed Scout and need no wallet, code, deed or purchase. Connected PvP needs a signed-in wallet and current eligibility; beta code requirements and perk availability are checked separately.

Can I play with other people?

Yes. Multiplayer is in open beta. A match needs 4 pilots. You need a beta code and a signed-in wallet to join.

Can I buy a deed?

No. Nothing is for sale. This is a devnet test build with real-money sales switched off, and no prices have been set.

What is a deed?

A deed is a digital collectible that comes with in-game stewardship rights for one world or orbital habitat. It is not ownership of a real celestial body and not a financial claim. Owning one never makes a ship stronger.

Why 751 deeds?

The catalogue has 479 Prime deeds, one per celestial body, plus 272 orbital habitats. You can find all of them in the Atlas. 751 is the size of that catalogue, not the number of planets, not a player limit and not stock for sale. A catalogue moon deed counts once it is registered; each world record shows whether it is registered yet. See the supply notice.

Do I need a crypto wallet?

No, not to explore or train. Live matches and devnet deed features need a signed-in wallet. Connecting one shows your public address, spends nothing, and Starhold never asks for a seed phrase or private key.

What do I need to run it?

A current browser with WebGL. Use a mouse and keyboard on a computer, or the on-screen sticks on a phone or tablet. Fullscreen and landscape work where your browser allows them.

What's coming (3)

Not available yet

These are plans, not features. None of them can be used today, and their details may change.

  • Deed sales and resale

    Planned

    Payment groundwork exists, but real payments are switched off. Prices, sale inventory and resale fees have not been decided.

  • Owner world cards

    Planned

    Verified owners will be able to add a name, an approved image and a website to their world's card. The real scientific name always stays visible.

  • A Starhold coin

    Planned separately

    A mainnet coin is planned separately. The current devnet token is for testing only. Owning a coin won't be an extra requirement for buying deeds or for deed or licence PvP access, and it won't give financial gameplay rewards or stronger combat stats.

Your first flight is free.

Open the Atlas, choose a world and borrow a Scout.
