Galactic Hub Project

From NMS Galactic Hub Project
The subject of this article is from the Echoes update.
The information from this article is up-to-date as of 13 February, 2024.

This article was documented by the Galactic Hub.

The Galactic Hub Project is a civilized space community.

Summary

Official flag of the Galactic Hub.
Official in-game flag of the Galactic Hub, registered with the Federation Vexillology Department.

The Galactic Hub Project, generally referred to just as the Galactic Hub, is the largest and oldest active civilization in No Man's Sky. The core focus of the Galactic Hub is exploration and documentation, but the civilization also offers extensive multiplayer support, economic interactions, competitive PVP events, player-made content such as bases, and more. Members of the Galactic Hub are known as Interlopers, an adoption of possibly-insulting, often-used Vy'keen terminology.

The Galactic Hub officially occupies 11 regions: The Arm of Vezitinen and 10 surrounding regions. All solar systems within these 11 regions have been uploaded, and all planets may also have been uploaded. However, much of the content remains undocumented - that's what this wiki is for! Any regions which are in direct boundary contact with one of these 11 regions are referred to as being part of "the Huburbs." That is, they are not part of the Galactic Hub's claimed territory

Our Galactic Hub subreddit (or "Hubreddit") is the best place to find and share content and information. Our Discord server is the best place to socialize and engage with our economy. See the "Hub Links & 3rd-Party Tools" section for more official Galactic Hub websites.

Benefits

  • Documentation - Clearly locate desirable ships, multi-tools, freighters, and technology; fascinating flora and fauna; useful resources; and much more. Contribute with the knowledge that you're part of a semi-scientific community and helping other Interlopers. See this page's Content Directory section for more information.
  • Community - As the largest civilization in the simulation, the Galactic Hub is the prime location for multiplayer interactions. Social, competitive, and economic events are all hosted routinely in Hub space. Outside of live multiplayer, the evidence of 'ambient' multiplayer is everywhere - over 11,000 bases have been uploaded in Galactic Hub space! This makes it very common to encounter bases while warping around the Hub. See this page's Community section for more information.
  • Culture - Our community extends beyond PVP and base-building competitions. Over time, the Hub has developed its own culture. Native Hub sports, art museums, original ByteBeat works, honorific statues, and more provide tangible aspects of this culture. Our historical record is also a prominent component of our culture, though it's usually emphasized less than 'living culture'. See this page's Culture section for more information.
  • Economy - The core component of the Galactic Hub's metagame economy is HubCoin, our native cryptocurrency. This is earned only through activity within the civilization, and is never available for purchase. Businesses started by interlopers are listed on the Marketplace. While many services and businesses only accept HubCoin, some businesses will also accept barter. See this page's Economy section for more information.

Regions Occupied

Map of the Galactic Hub's regions by UniDestiny. The 9 regions in the middle share the same horizontal plane, with 1 region above and 1 below HUB1 / the Arm of Vezitinen.

The Galactic Hub officially occupies the following 11 regions, as well as a number of "Huburb" regions in an unofficial capacity.

  • HUB1 (Arm of Vezitinen) is the core of the Hub, and can be thought of as "downtown Galactic Hub." This region has the densest concentration of discoveries and bases.
  • HUB10 (Savenix Instability) is the Embassy Region. Other civilizations should base their Embassies in this region, as close to the Black Hole as possible.

Hub Links & 3rd-Party Tools

  • Pilgrim Star Path can help players reach the Galactic Hub using traditional, "rite of passage" coordinate-and-warp-engine travel.
  • Redbubble Shop gives enthusiastic interlopers a place to purchase (real-life) Hub merchandise. Note that this doesn't include metallic Galactic Hub pins, which are produced in limited quantities.
  • Etsy Shop provides metallic enamel pins of the Galactic Hub emblem, stickers, pogs, and other real-world Hub merch.

How to Join

Joining the Galactic Hub is easy:

  • Navigate to any system within our 11 recognized regions.
  • Build and upload a base. If you do not enjoy base building, it can be a simple Mud Hut or tent with a few additional items to meet the minimal 8-part limit for uploading a base.
  • Document your base on this wiki. Post in the #help-and-tips channel of our Discord if you need help doing so, or hire a HubCoin business which will document content for you.
  • Create a new entry in the Census listing your base. Remember to come back and update your census entry occasionally - it's like your public profile for the Hub!
  • Joining our Discord server is also strongly recommended, but not required.

The glyphs to Gwolver Sigma, the capital planet located in the Ozangk-Oskoy III system, are listed below. Remember, this is just one planet in Galactic Hub space. You have tens of thousands of options as to where you build your base(s)!

Colonies (Production)

Production Colonies are similar to standard Colonies in that they are localized gatherings of multiple bases. While standard Colonies are focused on a sense of community, showing off your building skills, and visiting neighbors' bases, Production Colonies are focused on extracting resources from planets in a cooperative fashion.

Bases

See Bases for a list of noteworthy documented bases in Galactic Hub space, or for an automated list of all base pages on this wiki.

Colonies

Colonies are systems (or often smaller areas, such as a single planet or even a single island) where multiple players have created bases. Most colonies have rules surrounding settlement and construction style. Some colonies are "free form", meaning they have no building guidelines; and/or "unlimited settlement", meaning anyone can build there without permission.

Any Hub citizen is welcome to start their own colony and become a Colony Governor. See the Government Structure section of this page for more details on the role of Colony Governor.

Also note that interlopers are requested not to occupy any colony with more than 24 total bases in the system unless the colony has been designated for 'unlimited settlement'. You can check the number of bases in a given system by warping to the system, pausing the game to access the Discovery menu, then hovering your cursor over the name of the system.

See Colonies for a full list of colonies.
Only a handful of the most prominent colonies are listed above.

New Ziki City Planet: New Ziki
System: Amatsu-Okmi
Social City
New Ziki City (NZC) is the designated social hotspot of the Galactic Hub. The goal is to provide a metaverse-style experience like Second Life or PlayStation Home, but with much greater player agency. The city features a dense downtown district with a variety of interiors to explore, a casino with 4 functional minigames, an art museum, a sports arena, two ByteBeat clubs, a speaking hall, and more. NZC is renovated frequently to add new content.

If you visit NZC, do not upload a base anywhere in the system. You will be asked to remove the base, as too many bases in the system will negatively impact the rendering of the city. Instead, see the NZC page for information on how to join this colony by claiming an apartment.

New Bandera Colony Planet: New Bandera
System: HUB9-144 Afimsk
Combat Colony
New Bandera is a Wild West-themed colony. Players are encouraged to use stone (adobe) or wooden base parts. In the valley town of Valentine, PVP is always allowed. It's the only location in Galactic Hub space where no laws are enforced - but only within Valentine, not the entire planet or the entire system. If you want to allow PVP at your base outside of Valentine, you must include "PVP" in the base name. Valentine also hosts the Caesarus's Palace fully-functional casino.

New Bandera is not an unlimited-settlement colony and is currently closed to new settlers, but please feel free to visit and fire some rounds off!

Economy

HubCoin

HubCoin HubCoin is the Galactic Hub's Native Currency and the backbone of its metagame economy. It is a cryptocurrency based on the Sepolia Ethereum Testnet; it does not exist in-game. The full details are available in the whitepaper, but to summarize a few key points:

  • HubCoin is never available for purchase, it is exclusively available as a reward for player activity within the Galactic Hub. Anyone found to be selling or purchasing HubCoin in exchange for real money - whether USD, GBP, crypto, or any other currency with real-world monetary value - will have their address blacklisted from interacting with the Hub.
  • The above rule is currently the only restriction on HubCoin use. It is your property/value to use however you want after you’ve earned it just like any other asset, and can never be taken away from you by Galactic Hub staff.
  • Some recommended ways to use HubCoin:
    redeeming prizes from GH Staff, paying other interlopers in exchange for goods or services, shopping on the Galactic Hub Marketplace (see section below), tipping them small amounts in exchange for information / help, betting on GH Star League events, or even using your HubCoin to pay employees and start your own business, and some interlopers even pay competitive-event entry fees which are collectively put into prize pools for the winner(s).
  • HubCoin is earned semi-passively (through monthly distribution events) by 1) posting new threads/images/links in the Galactic Hub subreddit;2) posting in the Discord server; 3) using this Wiki as a member of the Galactic Hub; and 4) posting on YouTube using the "GalacticHub" in the video title. You must fill out a registration form to qualify for monthly distribution.
  • HubCoin may be used for any goods and services related to the No Man's Sky metaverse. The Galactic Hub may choose to adopt additional rules for commerce within its space, such as the decision to forbid custom starship sales, but those rules do not apply to HubCoin transactions outside of Hub space and conducted off of Hub platforms.

Marketplace

The Galactic Hub Marketplace is the Hub's primary online commerce advertisement platform. HubCoin-focused businesses started by entrepreneurial interlopers are listed on this page, including their logo, menu, in-game locations, founder, employees, and description. Once a customer finds a business, they can contact the owner and a deal is struck. HubCoin is sent via MetaMask like normal cryptocurrency, but is only available on the valueless test network Sepolia.

Anyone may list a business on the Marketplace after creating a dedicated wiki page for your business. You do not need approval from Galactic Hub staff to list your business on the Marketplace.

Services

Services are the jobs / careers of the Galactic Hub civilization. Services A) allow players to request help in a direct way from other players, and B) allow players who respond to those requests to be rewarded/paid. Services are conducted through the "#trades-and-services" channel in the Galactic Hub Discord server.

Follow this process to request a Service:

  • Enter the "#trades-and-services" channel of the Galactic Hub Discord server.
  • Begin your message with a ping for the Discord Role which you need assistance from. For example, if you needed a HUber Transport, you would start your message with "@HUber Captain", if you need an electrician, start you message with "@Electrician" or "@Architect". Look at users’ bios to see the roles available to ping.
  • In the rest of your message, explain the details of what service you need. Always include your location (via Signal Booster coordinates and/or Portal glyphs) and be sure your request is within Hubspace. See above for more info on where Hubspace is located.
  • Wait for a Service Person to reply to your request. They will ping/tag you directly.
  • Work out the details (including payment details) with the Service Person. Once an agreement is reached, proceed with the Service as requested.

List of Services

  • Architect - Architects can construct bases for you, either by joining your party or (on PS4) via Share Play. Architects may also offer input or renovations on existing bases. Architects are tasked primarily with the structure of a base; see the "Interior Designer" role for a greater focus on furniture, etc.
  • Construction Material Supplier - Construction Material Suppliers supply large quantities of Carbon and Ferrite, and may or may not offer additional construction supplies as well. Although they may be willing to help with projects, a Construction Material Supplier's main service is offering resources, not helping to build a base.
  • Electrician - Similar to an Architect, an Electrician can help you construct your base but with a specific focus on wiring, whether it be wiring complex mechanisms or just running the wires so they're as invisible as possible.
  • HUber Captain - HUber Captains are tasked primarily with moving players to the Hub by use of the "Join Party" function, and with moving players around the Galactic Hub (and Hubble Zone in general) with their freighters and navigation skill. If you need to reach a specific location, or need help getting to the Galactic Hub, just call a HUber.
  • Investor - Investors offer start-up funds or resources for other businesses, and are unique in that they may accept (or even require) a percentage of your businesses's earnings in the future rather than more standard payment methods.

If you can think of a Service role which is not currently supported, please suggest it to 7101334. Not all suggestions will be implemented, but they will all be discussed by the Council.

How to Register for / Retire from a Service Role

Services are handled through the Galactic Hub Discord. After joining the Discord, see the channel "#role-select" and choose the emojis pertaining to your interests. Your role will automatically be assigned, and you will be notified whenever someone posts in the server or the "#trades-and-services" channel, requesting help from your role. You may sign up for multiple roles.

Commands: !architect !construction !electrician !huber !investor

If you want to retire from a Service, simply re-select the role to remove the Service Role from your profile.

Payment Methods

Service may be paid for in a variety of ways.

  • HubCoin HubCoin: Players can pay with HubCoin (details in the section above) directly by transferring it to another player's Wallet. HubCoin may be preferable to Units, Nanites, or Barter because there is no way to produce it through duping, save editing, or other "less legitimate" means. It can also be redeemed for prizes not available otherwise. It may be preferable to Service for mutual ease of use. However, some Galactic Hub citizens may not be familiar with how to use HubCoin since it is not a part of the game itself.
  • Units Units: Players can pay with Units indirectly by transferring items of appropriate value. For example, for a lower-value trade you might transfer a Larval Core, while for a more high-value trade, you might transfer 25 Stasis Devices. The "exchange value" of any items traded for this purpose is always the Galactic Average displayed in the pause menu - the local prices of Space Stations / Trade Posts are irrelevant, whether higher or lower.
  • Nanites Nanites: Players can pay with Nanites indirectly by transferring modules of appropriate value. A lower-value trade might see a B-Class Module traded, while a high-value trade could see 5 S-Class Modules transferred as payment. Platinum, Hadal Cores, and other items/resources can also be refined into Nanites. The "exchange value" of any items traded for this purpose is always the value at the space station where the trade was conducted, as a Galactic Average value is not displayed for Nanites.
  • Barter: Players can pay with items meant more for crafting, construction, technology, or other purposes besides indirect transfer of Units/Nanites.
  • Service: Some Service People may accept, or even request/require, other Services as payment. For example, an Investor might offer to invest 300 million Units in your business if you work as a Construction Material Supplier for them for 4 gameplay sessions.

Fraud

Individuals who are found to have intentionally defrauded other players will be referred to the Galactic Hub Treasury Department for investigation and punishment. This could be as insignificant as a small fine or as significant as a ban from Galactic Hub platforms depending on the nature of the fraud and your history in the community.

Historically, this has rarely been an issue.

Chapters

"Chapters" are official organizations within the Galactic Hub which perform a specific function designed to benefit the community.

GH Builders Guild (GHBG)

The Galactic Hub Builders Guild (GHBG) is a GH chapter dedicated to creating public bases for Hub colonies, special events, and major projects. The GHBG creates builds, assists other GH chapters with building needs, researches and develops new building techniques, helps train interested builders, and catalogues Hub builds. Lead by Director ProgDog, the GHBG oversees the creation of major monuments from PvP arenas to diplomatic embassies.

GH Defense Force (GHDF)

The Galactic Hub Defense Force (GHDF) is a GH chapter dedicated to policing the Galactic Hub, maintaining peace outside the Hub as appropriate (particularly during weekend events and at crucial update sites like the Living Ship planet), and occasionally intelligence gathering or other military applications. Lead by Head Security Officer MrJordanMurphy, the GHDF has gained both widespread fame among the legitimate community and infamy among trolls and would-be disruptors. GHDF Officers have official uniforms, training events, private communications channels, and more to facilitate their peacekeeping mission.

GHDF membership is strict. Generally, only well-established members of the Galactic Hub community are accepted as Officers. 450+ have applied but only ~110 have been accepted. Application details here.

(Note that the GHDF and Galactic Hub Security Office are distinct and separate organizations, although there is collaboration.)

GH Exobiology Corps (GHEC)

The Galactic Hub Exobiology Corps (GHEC) is a GH chapter dedicated to exploration, discovery, and documentation of fauna, with a particular focus on rare species within the Galactic Hub's borders. Led by Chief Research Officer Phaedrus29, the GHEC has already thoroughly documented many species and furthered scientific understanding of fauna in general (such as with this post on r/NMS_Academia).

GH Geological Surveyors (GHGS)

The Galactic Hub Geological Surveyors (GHGS) is a GH chapter dedicated to locating S or A-class hotspots, mineral deposits, and gas clouds within the Galactic Hub. Led by mathfreak2, their work will be of direct and immediate benefit to the formation of new mining sites, colonies, individual player bases, and more.

Hublic Broadcasting Service (HBS)

The Hublic Broadcasting Service (HBS) is the GH's media production studio, dedicated to producing GH-related media and reaching out to NMS content creators to get them involved with the Hub. The HBS focuses on video media, although they also produce promotional and informational images and other content as well.

Hublic Event & Activities Team (HEAT)

The Hublic Events and Activities Team (HEAT) is the GH's event organization chapter, dedicated to hosting events and generally maintaining multiplayer activity in the Hub. HEAT coordinates closely with other chapters, especially GHSL and GHTD.

GH Ship Hunters (GHSH)

The Galactic Hub Ship Hunters (GHSH) is a GH chapter dedicated to exploration, discovery, and documentation of starships, freighters and multitools. Led by Brigantine ApexFatality, the GHSH continues a longstanding tradition in the Galactic Hub of locating and documenting desirable possessions for other players. In this, they are the successors to one of the oldest benefits of the Galactic Hub, one which predates any sort of "conventional" multiplayer features.

GH Star League (GHSL)

The Galactic Hub Star League (or just Star League for short) is the competitive simulation sports organization sponsored by the Galactic Hub, led by AugmentEcho. "Simulation Sports" is the umbrella category for any form of live-multiplayer or time-trial-based competitive event in No Man's Sky, such as mutually-agreed-upon player-versus-player (PVP) battles, exocraft racing, on-foot racing, starship battles, and many other possible events.

Apply Here. (Note: This is a volunteer form to help organize multiplayer events. To participate in multiplayer events, just show up! More details available here.

GH Treasury Department (GHTD)

The Galactic Hub Treasury Department (GHTD) is an official legislative and executive department tasked with ensuring the smooth functioning of the HubCoin economy, led by italicinterloper. The Treasury is also the primary driver behind many multiplayer social events.

Government & Civilized Space Interactions

Government Structure

The Galactic Hub is directed by Founder / Director 7101334, who is advised by the Galactic Hub Council. This includes delegating authority to other interlopers. Security Officer MrJordanMurphy acts as second in command.

Post-Euclid Directors (leaders of Galactic Hub Hilbert, Calypso, Budullangr, & Eissentam) are next in the chain of command. Post-Euclid Directors have near-complete authority over their civilizations, with some exceptions such as coordinates, naming guidelines, use of subreddit/wiki, and emblem. This makes post-Euclid Hubs essentially autonomous in practice, despite authority technically remaining with 7101334.

Next in command are the Directors of the various GH Chapters. For example, the Chief Survey Officer of the GHGS or the Builders Guild Director of the GHBG. Chapter Directors similarly operate with a high degree of autonomy, largely deciding how their chapter should operate across all Hub-occupied galaxies - and occasionally even outside of Hub space, like the GHDF's offers of protection to other civilizations.

Below the Chapter Directors are the Colony Governors. Colony Governors, as their name would imply, each oversee one of the Galactic Hub's colonies. Colony Governors are primarily tasked with keeping their colony active. This might entail organizing multiplayer events, attracting HubCoin businesses, creating an internal colony-specific culture and community, or anything else they can think of to increase activity. Anyone may volunteer to be a Colony Governor - it's not a role which requires significant prior Hub experience. Further information on the Colony Governor role is available here.

The Galactic Hub is not interested in hostile interactions with other civilizations ('wars').

Alliances

Emblem for the Federation.

(Refer to Civilized space page for more info)

United Federation of Travelers

The Galactic Hub is a founding member of the United Federation of Travelers alliance, a longstanding alliance of most of No Man's Sky's largest civilizations. Since the Federation was established, the Galactic Hub's Ambassadors have been some of the more active participants. Through the Federation, the Hub has expanded ties with groups like the Alliance of Galactic Travellers and Cafe 42, two of the other largest civilizations in-game.

Canon References

The Galactic Hub has been added to the game in various ways and was also a part of the Waking Titan ARG. That means the Galactic Hub is canon in the NMS universe!

Staff

While all Interlopers contribute to the Galactic Hub with their presence alone, some members have stepped up to take on specific tasks and/or fill specific roles within the Galactic Hub's structured leadership.
