When the sea level drops, the mountains and terrain previously covered by seawater gradually emerge, forming isolated "puddles." Although these puddles are separated from the ocean, there may still be undiscovered connections between them.

If the Lagrange Network is likened to an ocean, the mountains (i.e., the network nodes) that were previously hidden underwater gradually emerge when the network declines and the sea level drops, forming isolated regions. These regions may not have completely lost their functionality after the primary network contracts, and undiscovered connections may still exist between them. These networks still maintain a certain degree of connectivity and vitality.
These networks are controlled by different factions, who utilize confidential warp parameters to jump between star systems undetected by the primary network's surveillance. Such networks provide a channel for fast travel within the same cluster but pose potential risks.
Nodes and Factions in the Lagrange Network
Recently, the Dawn Accord Enforcement Committee has discovered an increasing number of attacks within the Lagrange Network. To maintain order in star system exploration, the Committee has officially issued the "Cluster Sailing Supplemental Agreement," allowing Explorers to sail across systems within the same cluster to assist in resolving exploration issues.
The New Topology of the Lagrange Network
We plan to introduce cross-system expedition gameplay in the upcoming patch. Explorers participating in cluster exploration will be allowed to assist in connecting the cross-system network within the cluster after signing the "Cluster Sailing Supplemental Agreement." They will be able to dispatch fleets through the Lagrange Gate of the local star system to quickly reach other star systems within the same cluster.
In the next preview, we will explain how to connect the cross-system network and sail across systems within the cluster. Please stay tuned.
