Solar Systems are neutral resource nodes defended by NPC units. Defeat the defenders before you can occupy the system and gather its resources. You can attack a Solar System through the Galaxy Map with fleets, or use Scout Symbols to reveal its Portal symbols and dial the discovered address to attack through a Portal with ground units. When 10% or less of a Solar System's original total resource amount remains, it is removed and respawns at a new random location. Each system keeps the same total basic-resource value for its tier, but its distribution is random: one quarter are balanced, while Steel-, Energy-, and Food-rich systems use a 60/20/20 split.
