Universe

The universe is the shared, persistent game world in which all of Living Universe Online takes place.

Purpose

The universe is the outermost boundary of the game world. It gives everything inside it — the galaxy, regions, orbital systems, and stellar objects — a single coherent container. Every player operates within the same universe, at the same time, in the same persistent world.

Player Value

Because all players share one universe, the actions of one player have real consequences for others. Territory gained is territory unavailable to rivals. Resources extracted are gone from that system. Alliances and conflicts persist across sessions.

The universe is not a backdrop — it is the stage on which player decisions accumulate.

Rules

  • There is exactly one universe. All players share it.
  • The universe contains a single galaxy in the current game scope.
  • The universe persists independently of individual player sessions. Events that happen while a player is offline are still real.
  • The state of the universe changes only through in-game actions and administrative operations. It does not reset.

Player Actions

  • View the universe, including the galaxy it contains.

Constraints

  • Players cannot create, configure, or delete the universe.
  • Multi-galaxy universes are not part of the current game scope.
  • Universe-level administration is reserved for game operators.
