Three Universes
One galaxy, three ways to play.
MMO — The Free, Persistent Galaxy
The MMO is E-xode: ROM's persistent home galaxy: 9 regions, 81 systems, 729 sectors, ticking forward whether you are online or not. Thousands of commanders share this one live galaxy in real time, and every fleet that fights here reshapes the map.
MMO is the shared baseline every commander keeps, Free or Premium: the same galaxy, the same population, advancing tick by tick without ever resetting. No clearance is required to command a fleet here.
The MMO universe is Free forever: no Premium clearance, no time limit, no paywall. Upgrading to Premium adds PvP and Tournament access — it never takes the MMO away.
PvP — Fleet Combat
PvP runs the same 9-region, 81-system, 729-sector galaxy as the MMO engine, but as its own independent instance built for direct confrontation. Commanders here chose contest over caution: every belt is contested, and only the sharpest fleet walks away.
PvP is a separate Premium instance of the same galaxy: always running, just like the MMO, but its population signed up for one thing only — direct fleet combat, not a quiet start. Nobody here is just passing through.
PvP is part of Premium clearance, unlocked with a time card, alongside the Tournament universe, up to three characters per game, and your full captain's log. Access only, never a power advantage.
Tournament — Ranked Seasons
Tournament runs the same 9-region, 81-system, 729-sector galaxy as the MMO engine, but as its own independent instance shaped into a timed competitive season. Every season has a defined start and end state; ranked standings and a clear victory condition decide who finishes on top.
Tournament is a separate Premium instance built around season structure rather than an open-ended galaxy: fixed rules, a start, an end, and a ranking that only exists for the length of that season.
Tournament is part of Premium clearance, unlocked with a time card, alongside the PvP universe, up to three characters per game, and your full captain's log. Access only, never a power advantage.
Free vs Premium
The engine doesn't change — your clearance decides how much of it you can reach.
Free | Premium | |
|---|---|---|
| Persistence | MMO only — a galaxy that never resets. | MMO and PvP never reset — Tournament runs in timed seasons instead. |
| Population | Thousands of commanders in one shared galaxy. | MMO's shared crowd, plus PvP's combat specialists and Tournament's ranked field. |
| Characters | Up to 1 per game | Up to 3 per game |
| Season structure | None — the MMO galaxy runs indefinitely. | Tournament runs fixed seasons with a start, an end, and a ranking — MMO and PvP have none. |
Premium buys access and convenience — never a combat advantage.
Every closed season leaves its ranking behind — the leaderboard remembers even after the galaxy resets.
