Our unique [[Stellar Forge]] system takes that information, rolls time backwards toward the Big Bang, and simulates from there the composition of hundreds of thousands of celestial bodies using the first principles that astrophysicists believe govern our universe. It uses the nebula hypothesis to simulate the composition and orbit of all the undiscovered stars, exoplanets, moons and black holes in our Milky Way galaxy.<ref name=":0" /> | Our unique [[Stellar Forge]] system takes that information, rolls time backwards toward the Big Bang, and simulates from there the composition of hundreds of thousands of celestial bodies using the first principles that astrophysicists believe govern our universe.

This delivers both an incredibly accurate and beautiful cosmic ballet, with all the motions of the celestial bodies correct, and is also the foundation for the different economies of each system in-game.<ref name=":0" /> | |||

The [[Codex]] has a Discoveries section and the galaxy consists of 42 regions. Each [[Galactic regions|galactic region]] has information detailing the stellar bodies, geological/biological entities and civilisation contained within them. Within each system, there are a variety of things for you to discover, such as [[stars]], terrestrials, [[species]], gas giants, [[Points of Interest]] and more.<ref>[https://forums.frontier.co.uk/showthread.php/451420-Content-Recap-Beyond-Chapter-Four-Livestream-Exploration-and-the-Codex Content Recap: Beyond - Chapter Four Livestream - Exploration and the Codex]</ref> | |||
