Star Citizen gives you unlimited run of the Stanton system, a vast sandbox of life-size planets, moons, cities, space stations, asteroid belts, and more. With unmatched beauty, diversity, and danger in equal measure, you never know what's waiting for you when you take flight.

You can be whoever you want and explore the stars on your own terms. You can mine ore, haul cargo, salvage space wrecks, hunt bounties, become a mercenary, or even take up a life of crime. Fly and drive a vast variety of vehicles and play how you want to play - the possibilities are endless. 

How you deal with danger is up to you -- stay safe in the regulated sectors of the system, arm up and tackle threats head-on, or turn to a perilous life of crime and get your cut of the action. Stanton's booming black market offers opportunities to earn a crooked living if a hard day's work isn't for you.

Star Citizen is currently in the "Alpha" stage of development, with each update adding new features, technology, and gameplay to grow and evolve with players.
