Aephia Industries

Build · Own · Earn

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

Aephia Industries

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, 250 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.

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.

Last week, the team put real numbers on the planned Council Rank progression for mainnet. The first levels should come quickly, while reaching the top could take anywhere from six months to well over a year, depending on how actively you play. Beyond C4, on a more somber note, Chris, VP of Game Economy, resigned from ATMTA after several years of shaping the game’s economy. Finally, PIP-36 saw a major swing in support as voting enters its final days.

Weekly Star Atlas Newsletter #248

Last week brought a substantial rethink of Claim Stakes and Starbase capture in SAGE C4. With very few players engaging with Claim Stakes, the team is working on a much more guided onboarding flow, dramatically lower operating costs, and a slower, lower-maintenance gameplay loop. Starbase capture is being simplified and slowed down as well. Meanwhile, the DAO opened voting on a proposal to fund a new public dashboard.
