Once the primary starport is built, the colonization beacon becomes a [[Nav Beacon|nav beacon]].<ref name=":4" /> A new Colonization Contact will appear in the completed starport; this gives the option to claim and colonize another system within 15ly by contacting the Colonization Contact.<ref name=":5" /><ref name=":4" /> There is no limit for how many systems a commander can claim, assuming the the systems are valid and there are no outstanding primary star ports under construction.<ref name=":6" /> <ref name=":5" /> Given the relatively short distance of 15ly, it is not uncommon for commanders to create a daisy chain of sparsely inhabited systems | Once the primary starport is built, the colonization beacon becomes a [[Nav Beacon|nav beacon]].<ref name=":4" /> A new Colonization Contact will appear in the completed starport; this gives the option to claim and colonize another system within 15ly by contacting the Colonization Contact.<ref name=":5" /><ref name=":4" /> There is no limit for how many systems a commander can claim, assuming the the systems are valid and there are no outstanding primary star ports under construction.<ref name=":6" /> <ref name=":5" /> Given the relatively short distance of 15ly, it is not uncommon for commanders to create a daisy chain of sparsely inhabited systems to create a path towards a more desirable yet distant system.<ref name=":2" /> | ||
If the claimed system has planets with rings, there is a chance that [[Resource Extraction Site|Resource Extraction Sites]] will be created in the rings. | If the claimed system has planets with rings, there is a chance that [[Resource Extraction Site|Resource Extraction Sites]] will be created in the rings. | ||
