Preload

Rat Preload

Commerce Preload

The Preload galaxies are the starting point for new characters in Star Sonata. Newcomers will begin at Rat Preload, where they will learn the basics of piloting their ship and fighting enemies. After jumping through the wormhole, they will arrive in Commerce Preload, which teaches the basics of trading, mining and making money. There are also some missions to undertake at the station there. Once everything has been learned or new characters feel ready to leave the Preload galaxies, jumping through the second wormhole will lead them into The Nexus, where advanced features of the game are taught, and onward into the main universe of Star Sonata.

The rats and commerce preloads are outdated. The new starter galaxies are EarthForce Outpost and EarthForce Trading Outpost.

• Please note that once you exit through the second wormhole, you CAN return but only if you are under level 15 and in a tech 3 or lower ship., so be sure to sell all your docked ships and bring everything you need before taking the final step! You have been warned.
