“One corporation planet is allowed per Solar System. That corp's Faction (formerly Alliance) controls the Solar System. Control of a Solar System imparts technology benefits in that map to all Faction members, and possibly cuts off benefits or blocks movement for the opposing faction. For example, you might not be allowed to deploy Garrisons, Outposts, or Shipyards in Solar Systems controlled by the enemy faction. You also might not be allowed to use jump gates that connect to another solar system also controlled by that faction. It isn't coded yet, and will require a lot of playtesting and feedback.”
