Commander Creation

Commander creation is your first order: choose a universe and a race, then launch three kibby mining tugs at Helios Nexus with 50 credits and a first contract.

Choose your colors, claim your ship, begin the exodus.

Your Universe, Your Colors

Every commander starts by picking a universe (the MMO galaxy is free to play) and a race: Human, Khareth, or Dralvok. Race is your identity in the Expanse, not a stat on a sheet, the name you carry into every captain's log, not a line on your ship's readout.

Your First Command

You launch at Helios Nexus with three kibby mining tugs, 50 credits in your account and a first contract waiting at the station. Everything that follows, every order, every credit spent, is your call to make.

By the Numbers

Starting credits — 50
Playable races — 3

Creating your commander and launching your first ships resolves instantly. The moment you deploy, the galaxy's 5-second tick starts carrying out your orders.
