Stats Reference

Icon	Stat	Meaning
	Credits	Empire-wide currency, used to pay ship maintenance, minister salaries, and other ongoing costs. The footer shows credits earned per turn; your running balance lives on the Government → Finances page.
	Science	Total science your empire produces per week — the sum of science output across all your planets, plus any alliance bonus. Spent on whatever technology you're currently researching.
	Authority	The pool that keeps newly settled or captured planets loyal. Each week, your authority is shared across all dependent planets to grow their loyalty. If you don't have enough, those planets lose loyalty and may eventually rebel. Authority comes from a base value, technologies, and is reduced by the number of dependent planets you own.

Icon	Stat	Meaning
	Food Yield	Drives population growth and feeds the population already there.
	Production	Spent on buildings, ships, and megastructures in the planet's build queue.
	Science	Spent on technologies in the tech tree.
	Credits	Empire-wide currency, generated by the planet's tax revenue.
	Energy	Power output, primarily used by planetary shields.
	Energy Storage	How much energy this planet can stockpile — makes shields last longer.
	Ore Storage	How much of any ore this planet can hold.
	Primary ore	Extraction rate per week of the planet's main ore type. Icon shows the actual ore.
	Secondary ore	Extraction rate of the planet's second ore.
	Scanning Range	How far around the planet your scanners detect enemy ships.
	Active Defense	Damage the planet's defenses deal to attacking ships.
	Passive Defense	Planetary shielding — damage absorbed before the planet itself takes hits.
	Troops	The planet's last line of defense — once shields and active defenses fall, troops fight to the last. When all troops die, the attacker takes the planet. New troops train automatically each week; the max scales with population (one troop per 100 hit points).

Icon	Stat	Meaning
	Frame	The base hull of the design — determines slot capacity and base stats. Bigger frames hold more components but cost more to build and move.
	Hit Points (HP)	Ship durability. When HP reaches zero, the ship is destroyed.
	Shields	A damage buffer that absorbs hits before HP loss; regenerates between battles.
	Attack vs. ships	Damage the ship deals to enemy ships in combat.
	Attack vs. planets	Damage the ship deals to planetary defenses during bombardment.
	Mass	Total weight of the ship. The engine has to push it; heavier ships are slower for a given thrust.
	Thrust	The engine's raw push. Thrust ÷ mass determines acceleration.
	Max Speed	Maximum travel speed across the map.
	Repair	HP regenerated per day when the ship isn't in combat.
	Scanning Range	How far the ship sees around itself.
