This is the screen you will see most often. It includes the main map, the mini map, the graphs screen, 
the control panel, the star ship bridge panel and the info net.

Shield indicates that it
is defended which means
you will need to destroy
those defenses before using
a transport to invade.

case it is a morale boosting 
resource.

Let’s discuss all of these: 
  
The Map: 
The map will display select the USS Discovery, the first colony ship created by the human 
civilization for colonizing another world. It will be parked just outside the Sol star system where 
Earth, Mars, Saturn, etc. are located. 
  
A second ship, the USS Hero, is a survey ship that has been constructed at great cost to help explore 
the galaxy.  Survey ships are a special class of ship, they contain equipment and special crews that 
allow them to seek out strange things and boldly go where no one has gone before. As you begin to 
explore the galaxy, it won’t take you long to find strange things worth investigating. Move your 
survey ship into an anomaly and you will discover what benefit, if any, it provides. Anomalies will 
continue to appear at various rates throughout the game. Many of them provide special ship-specific 
bonuses. As time goes on, your civilization will research technology that will provide star ships that 
are formidable military craft in their own right while also allowing them to explore anomalies. 
 
On the main map there are 5 different types of objects that may exist there.  Ships and stars are pretty 
straight forward. Anomalies are special objects that exist on the map that can only be explored by 
certain types of star ships (ships with a survey ability). Resources look similar to anomalies except
