Trading Station

Learn how alliances conquer neutral Trading Stations, defeat their garrisons, complete occupation, earn daily rewards, and defend a protected commercial hub.

Trading Station

Trading Stations are neutral commercial hubs where commanders can trade surplus resources. Alliances can conquer a station to control its trade tax and claim its rewards. Its territory also reveals player bases on the strategic map and grants alliance members +10% gathering speed outside Vault home areas.

Station Mechanics

  • Conquest: An alliance must defeat the neutral garrison with a Galaxy Rally. Any eligible alliance can attack while the station is being occupied.
  • Occupation Time: 1 hour
  • Protection Time: 4 days, 21 hours after occupation. No alliance can attack the station while it is protected.
  • Ownership: The controlling alliance can set a tax for non-members; alliance members trade without tax. When protection ends, the station returns to neutral with a new garrison.
