After weeks of delays and near-launches, Holosim Chapter 2 finally has a date: Tuesday, March 10th. That wasn’t the only news this week. A public Star Atlas lore wiki is on the horizon, the DAO Casters are known, and the DAO will employ José for the next 6 months!

This week is all about steady progress rather than big headlines. Holosim Chapter 2 still hasn’t launched, but it’s clearly getting close, with core systems like the new Combat UI and zProfile integration falling into place. Meanwhile, UE5 development continues to expand the Galia experience, z.ink ticks off a key milestone, and DAO voting is heading toward its conclusion.

This week’s issue brings a mix of delay, progress, and governance in motion. Holosim Chapter 2 did not launch as planned, but that extra time did allow additional improvements to land. Meanwhile, DAO voting is underway for both the inaugural DAO Casters program and José’s temporary funding proposal. The Z.ink Profile received stability and XP updates, and SAGE C4 testing continues to move forward behind the scenes.

This week’s issue is headlined by the launch of Holosim Chapter 2 later this week, the free-to-play Star Atlas browser game. Alongside that, SAGE C4 development has hit a major milestone, new ship recipes and a buyback program are expected to launch any day now, zProfile bug fixes are on the way, a fresh UE5 patch is live, and a few interesting sneak peeks round out the issue.

This week’s issue leans heavily toward economics and governance. The newly selected Econ Vantarah group has already begun its work, the latest Economic Forum introduced several upcoming adjustments to OMO pricing and crafting plans, and DAO voting delivered a clear outcome on PIP-26. Alongside that, Michael shared candid updates on release progress, team morale, and the financial realities behind recent decisions.

This past week was a heavy one for the Star Atlas community. The studio restructuring and its aftermath continue to shape conversations across the ecosystem, alongside Jose’s community proposal to preserve core creative functions during a fragile period. Beyond that, we saw a major backend infrastructure shift with the sudden sunset of Starcomm V2, ongoing DAO voting, fresh UE5 patches, and a handful of smaller updates that round out the week.

The past week saw an Atlas Brew focused on z.ink and Holosim, and an Economic Forum centered on the first OMO results. While this provided some news, we also gathered additional updates from the DAO and the latest UE5 patch notes. Lastly, we look at an older Discord conversation with Michael (CEO) about the team’s financial situation, before wrapping up with some strong new sneak peeks.

This week’s update is led by a significant community moment: Santi is stepping down from his role at ATMTA and transitioning into an advisory position. Alongside that, we have new details on Holosim Chapter 2, further context around SAGE C4, a pair of UE5 patches, and a longer-term creative update with the announcement of a new Star Atlas lore book series!

The team is back after their two-week holiday break, which means our weekly coverage of Star Atlas news is officially resuming. As is often the case at the start of the year, it’s been a relatively quiet week. Still, there are a few updates worth catching up on: a roadmap from the community team (that we annotated), the start of a new chapter for the DAO Council, and a handful of smaller notes around Fleet Rentals, the Econ Vantarah, and more.

Aephia News
After a challenging year for both Star Atlas and the wider crypto ecosystem, join me in taking a clear-eyed look at where the game stands entering 2026: what stalled, what progressed, and what is now taking shape. More importantly, let’s look ahead at upcoming milestones such as SAGE C4, UE5–SAGE convergence, and the gradual emergence of the MMORPG layer, while acknowledging the patience these developments have required. For Aephia Industries, our focus shifts from mostly waiting to preparation. Endurance has come not from momentum, but from a strong community, consistent long-term goals, and a commitment to economic strategy and coordination. 2026 may not promise momentum, but it does offer direction.
