Aephia Industries

Build · Own · Earn

The #1 ship manufacturing guild in the Star Atlas metaverse.

One of the first Star Atlas guilds, with a branch in every faction since 2021: ONI, MUD and Ustur.

What we do

Not here to chase fights. Here to supply them.

We’re the oldest still-active guild in Star Atlas, and we’re building more than a guild: an industry inside the game, a layer of tools around it, and an enterprise owned by the players who do the work.

Industry

Ships and their components, from rock to rocket, in all three factions. Star Atlas is turning into a war economy, and every war machine needs a supply line.

A layer around the game

Tools that extend Star Atlas rather than just play it, like AstralPass and AtlasBase: built to run our production at scale, and open to everyone where they can be.

Shared knowledge

A rising tide lifts all ships. The weekly newsletter, 252 issues and counting, our guides and our data dashboards are free for everyone.

Earned, not bought

Ownership and voting power come from what you contribute, not from what you buy. Profits go to the players who do the work, never to investors. We don’t have any.

Every week, together

Every Saturday, two hours of strategy over our own analytics. Every Sunday, two hours live on the week’s news, followed by a Q&A with the leadership. And once a week, a UE5 game night.

Weekly Star Atlas Newsletter #252

Last week gave us our first proper look at multicrew combat in UE5, with a pilot and two gunners working together aboard the same ship. The experimental Dogfight update is already live, so players can try it for themselves! Meanwhile, SAGE C4 is getting closer to its next reset, dubbed Phase 3.2, though several more rounds of testing may be needed before/during Phase 4. Lastly, ATMTA refreshed its Open Market Operations listings, adjusting prices and quantities after several batches sold out.

Weekly Star Atlas Newsletter #251

Last week was relatively quiet on the news front, but we did learn more about some changes being considered for SAGE C4. The team is exploring a simpler, more flexible ship component system that could replace thousands of ship-specific variants with reusable components. Meanwhile, Unique Crew is presenting new challenges for crafting, prompting the team to rethink how Crew members are assigned to jobs. We also got a first look at the upcoming Claim Stake UI overhaul, while work continues toward the next PTR reset.

Weekly Star Atlas Newsletter #250

Last week gave us a clearer picture of how SAGE C4 may transition from testing into a live economy. The team is expanding the Nemesis Engine, reworking Council Rank progression, and weighing the risks and rewards of Claim Stakes. Beyond C4, Chris published his farewell to Star Atlas, UE5 development is moving forward on version 5.8, and PIP-36 passed after a remarkable late reversal in support.
