↓ what is this
Eternal Expanse is a persistent multiplayer world in the spirit of the great sandbox MMOs — the kind where the economy is player-made and a profession is an identity.
You wake as a Unit — a robotic settler — aboard Haven Station, in orbit over the desert world Meridian. Below: canyon country, dune seas, hydroponic farms, a frontier settlement, and wilds full of creatures that don't want to be tamed. Above: wreck fields to salvage in zero-G, and stars that are further than they look.
There is no quest arrow marching you to an ending. There's ore that needs mining, crops that need tending, meals that need cooking, buildings that need raising, cantina crowds that need entertaining, wounds that need healing, and cargo that needs hauling — and other people doing all of it beside you. What you become is up to you.
Everything runs in the browser. No download, no install — an account, a name, and you're on the station.
Systems that feed each other, the way a frontier actually works.
Prospector, farmer, entertainer, healer, artificer, courier, bounty hunter, politician and more — levelled by doing, taught by other players.
Nearly everything worth having is gathered, crafted, cooked or performed by someone. Quality matters. Escrowed contracts keep trade honest.
Claim ground on Meridian — huts, tents, modular homes, whole community settlements with shared projects, storage and hired keepers.
Own a fleet of working droids: gatherers, servers, fabricators. Fit modules, set their orders, and they keep working while you're away.
Tame pack animals, ride them across the dunes, load their saddlebags, milk the goats. Yes, the goats matter.
Buy a hull, walk its interior, fly between the station, the wreck fields and the planet — or hire your pilot droid to run the haul routes.
Factions with real standing, bounties on real players, arrests, judgments, and elected community government with a treasury.
Sandstorms roll the dunes, day turns to dusk, NPCs keep their own schedules — the world doesn't pause because you logged off.
