How to use it

Makes raid, transfer, trade and clan-aid fleets launched here travel 1.3× faster on both legs.

Its 1.3 speed multiplier applies to outbound and return raid, transfer, trade and clan-aid fleets launched here. It does not affect settlement fleets or Prospectors, and it changes no attack, armour, cargo or fuel cost.

Requirements & connections

Requires a free orbit slot opened by this planet’s Command Core. It is installed through Construction and has no upgrade levels. Two different bonuses can coexist if you have enough slots.

Choose satellites for this planet’s purpose: production, mining, raids or intelligence. A satellite affects its own planet, unlike research shared across your planets. Read orbit slots to plan installations.

Reference values

Each world can install one of each satellite type. Every satellite uses one orbit slot. Its effect applies only to its own world and the actions described above.
