Use arrow keys to orbit, plus or minus to zoom, Home for the full galaxy, Enter to focus the selected system, and F6 to move between map controls, the map, and the intelligence dossier.
Compare any two recorded campaign months. Former control, installation positions, and fleet redeployments appear as restrained ghost overlays on the galaxy map.
The navicomputer traverses established Legends/Essential Atlas lanes only. It never invents an off-route connection; constrained or disconnected journeys correctly return no established itinerary.
Imperial military-console cues, the supplied classic Galactic Conquest planetary-acquisition signal, and optional command-room ambience.
Selection, navigation, command, confirmation, warning, and galactic-acquisition cues.
Low-level synthesized command-room hum. Off by default.
Audio remains optional. Browser autoplay rules are respected, and motion reduction settings continue to suppress nonessential interface animation.
Strategic Command combines galactic cartography, campaign records, logistics, route planning, and administrator tools in one timeline-aware interface.
Authenticate with Strategic Command to unlock the editing workspace. Published saves are written to the server-backed Atlas database.
The administrator password is stored only as an encrypted Cloudflare secret and is never embedded in the public application. Successful login creates an HttpOnly session cookie.
Compose a guided multi-action campaign package, inspect every before-and-after change, and publish the validated package as one recoverable server revision. The console never changes coordinates, routes, borders, or territory geometry.
The raw manifest remains available for advanced actions and recovery workflows. Deletions and cartographic mutations are not supported.
Publishing requires a clean, server-loaded Atlas and the same server revision used for preview. The complete package, generated Chronicle entry, and all actions commit together; a verified previous-state backup is created automatically before the new revision becomes active.
A supply corridor is a campaign overlay between its anchor systems. It does not assert or create a direct canonical hyperspace lane.
Operations can be assigned here or from the Operations editor. Hidden operations remain Admin-only and never appear in public front dossiers or Chronicle links.
Hold Ctrl/Cmd to select multiple entries. The primary system is always treated as involved even if it is not separately selected.
The target record survives. Routes and campaign references are transferred only when no route collision or self-loop would be created.
Choose the original 2.5D image, the fully three-dimensional Harrower model, or a tactical symbol. The 3D model keeps its baked finish; Engine Glow applies only to the image. Galaxy and System views read the same fleet record.
Templates supply editable defaults only. Selecting a template does not create or change campaign data.
Use the visual editor for normal path changes. This field remains available for precise recovery edits.
Select or create an atlas to begin.
Selecting a body prepares the existing New Atlas controls. Nothing is created until you choose NEW ATLAS.
Campaign states, strategic links, and record IDs are never copied.
No creation preview generated.
The planning queue is read-only and never creates atlases.
Choose a system and body before creating a new atlas. One atlas may be linked to each celestial body.
Optimized images are reduced to a compact WebP before entering the browser draft. For larger maps, deploy a WebP under assets and enter its relative URL.
Changes remain a browser draft until Apply Location and the normal Review & Publish workflow.
Boundary mode: click the world to add points or drag existing points. Location mode: select a location, then click or drag its marker. Changes remain a preview until APPLY VISUAL CHANGES.
A character may be linked at system level when no specific celestial body is appropriate.
PNG, JPG, WebP, or SVG. Portraits are safely resized and stored inside the Atlas record.
Public campaign relationships only. Never enter Discord names, account IDs, email addresses, or private contact details.
PNG, JPG, WebP, or SVG. Artwork is safely resized and stored with the faction record.
This overview appears in the Intelligence Dossier unless the selected territory has its own overview override.
This territory currently uses its own description.
Draw mode: click around the atlas to add vertices, then double-click or press Finish Border. Vertex mode: drag the gold handles directly on the 3D plane.
Drag gold anchors to shape the frontier. Select a smooth anchor to reveal cyan tangent handles. Double-click a curve to insert an anchor; Delete removes the selected anchor. Enter returns to the editor without committing; Escape discards the draft.
The queue is ordered by v10 reference calibration. Approximate records remain public by default and can be aligned against a local reference image without altering their IDs or dossier data.
No local reference image loaded. The image remains in browser memory only and is never saved or published.
Recommended sequence: Top View → load reference → select system → Calibrate Selected → drag marker → Enter → mark Verified or Probable.
Direct lane: the system has a connection assigned to a named established route.
Documented spur: the system is connected through a traced Essential Atlas regional leg.
Near lane: no route record reaches the system, but its marker is within 20 atlas pixels of the traced overlay.
Off-route: no established connection reaches the system and it lies beyond the near-lane threshold.
Conflict flag: a connected marker lies more than 16 pixels from the traced overlay, or an unconnected marker appears directly on it.
The lock does not promote probable or approximate placements. Their unresolved status remains explicit until reviewed through Guided Alignment.
The readiness check validates the active domain, D1 migration ledger, published fingerprint, Atlas QA, administrative safety, and the bundled Orbital Station model. Exported reports do not deploy, publish, or restore data.
Map keyboard controls: arrow keys orbit, +/− zoom, Home returns to the galaxy, and Enter focuses the selected system. Escape safely closes the active modal or map-edit mode.
A local compressed recovery snapshot remains in IndexedDB for browser resilience. Server-side previous-save backups are maintained separately and are not removed by this button.
Verification checks chunk sequence, byte count, SHA-256 fingerprint, Atlas schema, and deployment identity. A restore is revision-guarded and automatically preserves the currently published Atlas as another server backup.
Automatic responds to sustained slow camera frames. Economy pauses idle animation. These choices never change campaign data or your authored planet profiles. The advanced scheduler below remains a separate saved Atlas setting.
Adaptive mode preserves full-rate camera movement, dragging, and transitions, then throttles nonessential ambient motion. Economy mode stops ambient animation while idle.
The probe is non-destructive. Browser-specific acceptance still requires opening the packaged atlas in the target browser with hardware acceleration enabled.
Review the complete difference between the current browser draft and the last server state. Publication creates a server backup and uses revision conflict protection.
Imported data is migrated and validated in memory first. Applying it replaces the browser draft only; the published Atlas is unchanged until a separate review and publish.
