A low level galaxy found within Nexus, Sporeside is used to train players in base laying, and for a mission to gain Ungers Energy Augmenter by building a base here. It contains two planets, one of which has the commodity Protoganglae that must be extracted for the mission.
On laying a base, a level 1 termite is spawned, which will then create a specially modified termite mound. Unlike normal termites, this mound remains level 1, not evolving, and spawns huge waves of high level termites that are sure to destroy any low level base within the system. Players must destroy the mound to destroy the wave and protect their base.

Interesting Facts
- Sporeside was home to a huge credit bug that made certain players immensely wealthy - for a time, until Atlum was informed of the bug, and traced many of the credits. He held a moratorium in Sol for people to hand back the credits. Essentially, termites used to drop large amounts of credits on death: as Sporeside instantly spawned an entire wave of level 800+ termites, which could all be killed by killing the level 1 mound, players could lay a base, spawn the wave, destroy the mound then lay another base to repeat the process. Each wave gave 3.4 billion credits, as well as many great exec / god augs. This bug was removed by changing termites so they dropped neither credits nor augs above a certain level. Comet Chaser was one of the reporters of this bug, and received an Imperial Seal for her trouble.
- Players can use Sporeside to level fast, if they can create a good enough base. Prior to the new rules on SM limitations, it was common for alts to place andaman bases and XP here extremely fast.
