    How to Play
  • EXPLORE

    EXPLORE

    The explorer builds a life on the pursuit of knowledge and discovery. They will seek out the unknown or sometimes just surrender to the thrill of getting lost. Whether it's a hidden outpost, a derelict ship or a beautiful sunset, explorers are eager to see what's waiting over that next ridge.
    How to Play
  • UNITE

    UNITE

    Be a part of something greater. Engage other players to crew a multi-crew ship or build a player-run Organization into an entire spacefaring fleet. Either way, the Star Citizen Universe is all about community. In here, your actions have consequences that will either draw cheers from players and NPCs or get you shot.
    How to play
  • Trade

    Trade

    Dive into a dynamic economy and seek your fortune. Traders are drawn to the thrill of amassing resources, currency and social status. Whether trading contraband on the blackmarket or building legitimate empires, the life of the trader requires resourcefulness, strategy and an entrepreneurial spirit.
