* The vast 1:1 scale Milky Way galaxy is based on real scientific principles, current scientific data and theories. It's created using a mix of [[Procedural Generation|procedural generation]] and artist direction. It has realistic astrophysics and scale. | * The vast 1:1 scale Milky Way galaxy is based on real scientific principles, current scientific data and theories.

* Around 400 billion [[Star Systems|star systems]] according to current scientific theories of star system formation with planets and moons that orbit and rotate. It includes well known systems like [[Sol]] and [[Alpha Centauri]].
