---

The '''Galactic Hub Project''', generally referred to just as the '''Galactic Hub''', is the largest and oldest active [[civilized space|civilization]] in No Man's Sky. The core focus of the Galactic Hub is exploration and documentation, but the civilization also offers extensive multiplayer support, economic interactions, competitive PVP events, player-made content such as bases, and more. Members of the Galactic Hub are known as ''Interlopers,'' an adoption of possibly-insulting, often-used [[Vy'keen]] terminology.

The Galactic Hub officially occupies 11 regions: [[The Arm of Vezitinen]] and 10 surrounding regions. Inside these 11 regions, [[Galactic Hub Naming Guidelines]] are considered mandatory. Individual players and sovereign civilizations also occupy the space around the Galactic Hub, known as the [[Hubble|Hubble Zone]] (which includes the "Huburbs").

Our [https://www.reddit.com/r/NMSGalacticHub/ Galactic Hub subreddit] (or "Hubreddit") is the best place to find and share content and information. Our [https://discord.gg/6uuZP6x Discord server] is the best place to socialize and engage with our economy. See the "Hub Links & 3rd-Party Tools" section for more official Galactic Hub websites.

=== Interloper Census ===
Upon reaching the Galactic Hub, the first thing you should do is sign up for the [[Interloper census|Interloper Census]], for the following reasons:

* Gives the Galactic Hub staff an accurate idea of the size of the civilization.

* Allows other players to more easily locate your home base(s), and what game mode it's on.

The Galactic Hub Census will be reset every year.

=== Benefits ===
* '''Documentation''' - Clearly locate desirable ships, multi-tools, freighters, and technology; fascinating flora and fauna; useful resources; and much more. Contribute with the knowledge that you're part of a semi-scientific community and helping other Interlopers. See this page's [[Galactic Hub Project#Content Directory|Content Directory section]] for more information.

* '''Multiplayer Elements''' - As the largest civilization in Euclid, the Galactic Hub is the #1 location for multiplayer interactions, whether that means seeing other players, player bases, PVP competitions (both combat & racing), parties & special events, an abundance of [[Communications Station]]s, or just frequently coming across discovered systems. '''Production Bases / Farms''' allow players easy access to valuable and/or useful resources.

* '''Economy''' - The core component of the Galactic Hub's metagame economy is [[Galactic Hub Project#HubCoin|HubCoin]], our native cryptocurrency. This is earned only through activity within the civilization, and is never available for purchase. Businesses started by interlopers are listed on the [[Galactic Hub Marketplace]]. While many services and businesses only accept HubCoin, some businesses will also accept in-game resources like [[NipNip Buds]]. See this page's [[Galactic Hub Project#Economy|Economy section]] for more information.

* '''Community''' - The community extends beyond the components listed above. Our community has created over 6,000 wiki pages, has 65,000+ [https://www.reddit.com/r/NMSGalacticHub/ Subreddit] subscribers, a variety of resources (see "Hub Links & 3rd Party Tools" section), and even a Redbubble shop for Galactic Hub merchandise. More importantly than just the features, the Galactic Hub community are friendly, often very experienced Interlopers. We ask that new players do some basic research, but we're always willing to help anyone who needs it.

=== Naming Convention ===
The Galactic Hub uses a specific convention when naming solar systems, the [[Galactic Hub Naming Guidelines]]. These guidelines require that solar system names have 3 parts:

* ''HUBn'' - The "HUB" part lets people know they're in the Galactic Hub, and the "n" represents the Region Number, from 1 - 11.

* ''Solar Index Value / ###'' - The Solar Index Value (SIV) is the last part of a coordinate string from a Signal Booster. Each SIV appears only once per region and stays the same across updates (so far).

These two parts are combined in brackets as ''[HUBn-###]'', which functions like an abbreviated coordinate string (the region number represents the first 3 parts of a coordinate string, and the SIV represents the last part). This forms a "Hub Tag."

* (Optional) ''Custom Name'' - Custom names, or the original procedurally-generated name, should be placed after the Hub Tag.

As Hub Tags are invaluable for navigation - they make it fairly easy to remember and repost entire coordinate strings - they are considered mandatory. Players who prefer not to use Galactic Hub Naming Guidelines should only upload systems outside the Galactic Hub's 11 regions. No naming guidelines are enforced in the Huburbs / Hubble Zone outside of the 11 Hub regions.

Note that the Euclid Galactic Hub is entirely renamed & uploaded as far as systems go, but many planets, fauna, flora, etc remain undiscovered and un-uploaded. There are no naming guidelines for any content except star systems.

Also see [[Interloper's_Handbook_-_Guide_to_the_Galactic_Hub#Converting_Primary_Hub_Tags_to_Coordinates_/_Portal_Addresses|Converting Primary Hub Tags to Coordinates / Portal Addresses]].

=== Regions Occupied ===
[[File:Galactic Hub Region Map Unidestiny.jpg|thumb|Map of the Galactic Hub's regions by [https://www.reddit.com/user/unidestiny UniDestiny]. The 9 regions in the middle share the same horizontal plane, with 1 region above and 1 below HUB1 / '''the Arm of Vezitinen'''.]]
{{Hub Regions}}

* HUB1 (Arm of Vezitinen) is the core of the Hub, and can be thought of as "downtown Galactic Hub." This region has the densest concentration of discoveries and bases.
* HUB10 (Savenix Instability) is the ''Embassy Region''. Other civilizations should base their [[Galactic_Hub_Project#Embassy_Systems_.26_Bases|Embassies]] in this region, as close to the Black Hole as possible.

== Content Directory ==
=== Colonies ===
Colonies are systems (or often smaller areas, such as a single planet or even a single island) where multiple players have created bases. The Galactic Hub's largest colonies are official colonies - colonies officially sponsored by the Hub staff - but a number of smaller, unofficial colonies also exist. 

Any Hub citizen is welcome to start their own colony and become a Colony Governor. See [https://www.reddit.com/r/NMSGalacticHub/comments/vds8fz/the_galactic_hub_colonization_initiative/ Galactic Hub Colonization Initiative (GHCI)] for more information.

Also note that, under the GHCI, '''interlopers are requested not to occupy any colony with more than 21 total bases in the system''' with some exceptions. You can check the number of bases in a given system by warping to the system, pausing the game to access the Discovery menu, then hovering your cursor over the name of the system.

====Production Colonies====
Production Colonies are similar to standard Colonies in that they are localized gatherings of multiple bases. While standard Colonies are focused on a sense of community, showing off your building skills, and visiting neighbors' bases, Production Colonies are focused on extracting resources from planets in a cooperative fashion.

== Multiplayer Content Overview ==
=== Colonies ===
'''Colonies''' are localized settlements of multiple player bases. Colonies may occupy a single island, a single solar system, or any amount of space in-between. Some colonies are "free-form" where any players may join and build at whatever location they'd like, others have designated landmasses to build on, and others still have coordinated settlement maps where players must settle at specific planetary coordinates.

See [[Galactic_Hub_Project#Colonies|Colonies]] section for more info.

===Competitive Events===
See the [[Galactic Hub Project#GH Star League|Star League]] section.

=== Economy ===
==== HubCoin ====
{{CurrencyHubCoin}} {{hubcoin}} is the Galactic Hub's Native Currency and the backbone of its metagame economy. It is a cryptocurrency based on the Sepolia Ethereum Testnet; it does not exist in-game. The full details are available in the whitepaper, but to summarize a few key points:

* HubCoin is never available for purchase, it is exclusively available as a reward for player activity within the Galactic Hub. Anyone found to be selling or purchasing HubCoin in exchange for real money - whether USD, GBP, crypto, or any other currency with real-world monetary value - will have their address blacklisted from interacting with the Hub.

* The above rule is currently the only restriction on HubCoin use. It is your property/value to use however you want after you’ve earned it just like any other asset, and can never be taken away from you by Galactic Hub staff.

* Some recommended ways to use HubCoin:<br>redeeming prizes from GH Staff, paying other interlopers in exchange for goods or services, shopping on the Galactic Hub Marketplace (see section below), tipping them small amounts in exchange for information / help,  betting on GH Star League events, or even using your HubCoin to pay employees and start your own business, and some interlopers even pay competitive-event entry fees which are collectively put into prize pools for the winner(s).

* HubCoin is earned semi-passively (through monthly distribution events) by 1) posting new threads/images/links in the Galactic Hub subreddit;2) posting in the Discord server; 3) using this Wiki as a member of the Galactic Hub; and 4) posting on YouTube using the "GalacticHub" in the video title. You must fill out a registration form to qualify for monthly distribution.

* HubCoin may be used for any goods and services related to the No Man's Sky metaverse. The Galactic Hub may choose to adopt additional rules for commerce within its space, such as the decision to forbid custom starship sales, but those rules do not apply to HubCoin transactions outside of Hub space and conducted off of Hub platforms.

==== Marketplace ====
The [[Galactic Hub Marketplace]] is the Hub's primary online commerce advertisement platform. HubCoin-focused businesses started by entrepreneurial interlopers are listed on this page, including their logo, menu, in-game locations, founder, employees, and description. Once a customer finds a business, they can contact the owner and a deal is struck. HubCoin is sent via MetaMask like normal cryptocurrency, but is only available on the valueless test network Sepolia.

Anyone may list a business on the Marketplace after creating a dedicated wiki page for your business. You do not need approval from Galactic Hub staff to list your business on the Marketplace.

==== Services ====
'''Services''' are the jobs / careers of the Galactic Hub civilization. Services A) allow players to request help in a direct way from other players, and B) allow players who respond to those requests to be rewarded/paid. Services are conducted through the "#trades-and-services" channel in the Galactic Hub Discord server.

Follow this process to request a Service:

* Enter the "#trades-and-services" channel of the Galactic Hub Discord server.

* Begin your message with a ping for the Discord Role which you need assistance from. For example, if you needed a HUber Transport, you would start your message with "@HUber Captain", if you need an electrician, start you message with "@Electrician" or "@Architect". Look at users’ bios to see the roles available to ping.

* In the rest of your message, explain the details of what service you need. Always include your location (via Signal Booster coordinates and/or Portal glyphs) and be sure your request is within Hubspace. See above for more info on where Hubspace is located.

* Wait for a Service Person to reply to your request. They will ping/tag you directly.

* Work out the details (including payment details) with the Service Person. Once an agreement is reached, proceed with the Service as requested.

==== List of Services ====
* ''Architect'' - Architects can construct bases for you, either by joining your party or (on PS4) via Share Play. Architects may also offer input or renovations on existing bases. Architects are tasked primarily with the structure of a base; see the "Interior Designer" role for a greater focus on furniture, etc.

* ''Construction Material Supplier'' - Construction Material Suppliers supply large quantities of Carbon and Ferrite, and may or may not offer additional construction supplies as well. Although they may be willing to help with projects, a Construction Material Supplier's main service is offering resources, not helping to build a base.

* ''Electrician'' - Similar to an Architect, an Electrician can help you construct your base but with a specific focus on wiring, whether it be wiring complex mechanisms or just running the wires so they're as invisible as possible.

* ''HUber Captain'' - HUber Captains are tasked primarily with moving players to the Hub by use of the "Join Party" function, and with moving players around the Galactic Hub (and Hubble Zone in general) with their freighters and navigation skill. If you need to reach a specific location, or need help getting to the Galactic Hub, just call a HUber.

* ''Investor'' - Investors offer start-up funds or resources for other businesses, and are unique in that they may accept (or even require) a percentage of your businesses's earnings in the future rather than more standard payment methods.

If you can think of a Service role which is not currently supported, please suggest it to {{reddit|7101334}}. Not all suggestions will be implemented, but they will all be discussed by the Council.

==== How to Register for / Retire from a Service Role ====
Services are handled through the Galactic Hub Discord. After joining the Discord, see the channel "#role-select" and choose the emojis pertaining to your interests. Your role will automatically be assigned, and you will be notified whenever someone posts in the server or the "#trades-and-services" channel, requesting help from your role. You may sign up for multiple roles.

''Commands:'' !architect !construction !electrician !huber !investor

If you want to retire from a Service, simply re-select the role to remove the Service Role from your profile.

==== Payment Methods ====
Service may be paid for in a variety of ways.

* '''HubCoin''' {{hubcoin}}: Players can pay with HubCoin (details in the section above) directly by transferring it to another player's Wallet. HubCoin may be preferable to Units, Nanites, or Barter because there is no way to produce it through duping, save editing, or other "less legitimate" means. It can also be redeemed for prizes not available otherwise. It may be preferable to Service for mutual ease of use. However, some Galactic Hub citizens may not be familiar with how to use HubCoin since it is not a part of the game itself.

* '''Units {{units}}''': Players can pay with Units indirectly by transferring items of appropriate value. For example, for a lower-value trade you might transfer a [[Larval Core]], while for a more high-value trade, you might transfer 25 [[Stasis Device]]s. The "exchange value" of any items traded for this purpose is always the Galactic Average displayed in the pause menu - the local prices of Space Stations / Trade Posts are irrelevant, whether higher or lower.

* '''Nanites''' {{nanites}}: Players can pay with Nanites indirectly by transferring modules of appropriate value. A lower-value trade might see a B-Class Module traded, while a high-value trade could see 5 S-Class Modules transferred as payment. [[Platinum]], [[Hadal Core]]s, and other items/resources can also be refined into Nanites. The "exchange value" of any items traded for this purpose is always the value at the space station where the trade was conducted, as a Galactic Average value is not displayed for Nanites.

* '''Barter''': Players can pay with items meant more for crafting, construction, technology, or other purposes besides indirect transfer of Units/Nanites. 

* '''Service''': Some Service People may accept, or even request/require, other Services as payment. For example, an Investor might offer to invest 300 million {{units}} in your business if you work as a Construction Material Supplier for them for 4 gameplay sessions.

====Fraud====
Individuals who are found to have intentionally defrauded other players will be referred to the [[Galactic Hub Treasury Department]] for investigation and punishment. This could be as insignificant as a small fine or as significant as a ban from Galactic Hub platforms depending on the nature of the fraud and your history in the community.

Historically, this has rarely been an issue.

==Government & Civilized Space Interactions==
===Government Structure===
The Galactic Hub is directed by Founder / Director 7101334, who is advised by the Galactic Hub Council. This includes delegating authority to other interlopers. Security Officer MrJordanMurphy acts as second in command.

Post-Euclid Directors (leaders of Galactic Hub Hilbert, Calypso, Budullangr, & Eissentam) are next in the chain of command. Post-Euclid Directors have near-complete authority over their civilizations, with some exceptions such as coordinates, naming guidelines, use of subreddit/wiki, and emblem. This makes post-Euclid Hubs essentially autonomous in practice, despite authority technically remaining with 7101334.

Next in command are the Directors of the various GH Chapters. For example, the Chief Survey Officer of the GHGS or the Builders Guild Director of the GHBG. Chapter Directors similarly operate with a high degree of autonomy, largely deciding how their chapter should operate across all Hub-occupied galaxies - and occasionally even outside of Hub space, like the GHDF's offers of protection to other civilizations.

Below the Chapter Directors are the Colony Governors. Colony Governors, as their name would imply, each oversee one of the Galactic Hub's colonies. Colony Governors are primarily tasked with keeping their colony active. This might entail organizing multiplayer events, attracting HubCoin businesses, creating an internal colony-specific culture and community, or anything else they can think of to increase activity. Anyone may volunteer to be a Colony Governor - it's not a role which requires significant prior Hub experience. Further information on the Colony Governor role is [[Interloper's_Handbook_-_Guide_to_the_Galactic_Hub#Optional:_Register_as_a_Colony_Governor|available here]].

The Galactic Hub is not interested in hostile interactions with other civilizations ('wars').

===Alliances===
[[File:Federation Emblem 2.png|thumb|170px|Emblem for the Federation.]]
(''Refer to [[Civilized space]] page for more info'')

====United Federation of Travelers====
The Galactic Hub is a founding member of the [[United Federation of Travelers]] alliance, a longstanding alliance of most of No Man's Sky's largest civilizations. Since the Federation was established, the Galactic Hub's Ambassadors have been some of the more active participants. Through the Federation, the Hub has expanded ties with groups like the [[Alliance of Galactic Travellers]] and [[Cafe 42]], two of the other largest civilizations in-game.

====Hubble Cooperative====
The Hubble Cooperative is a non-binding, ungoverned alliance of civilizations within the [[Hubble|Hubble Zone]]: 1-2 maximum freighter warps (about 5,000-6,000ly) of the Galactic Hub's core region. The purpose of the Hubble Cooperative is to encourage as many sovereign civilizations to exist within close proximity as possible, with the goal of mutually increased traffic and easier access to inter-civilizational discoveries.

The Galactic Hub and Alliance of Galactic Travellers (AGT), the two largest civilizations in the game, are based around this zone. 

====Benefits of Alliance====
The Galactic Hub extends certain benefits to civilizations which are either Federation members or located in the Hubble Zone:

* '''Economic Assistance''' - Your civilizations' leaders can request economic assistance from the Galactic Hub as needed.

* '''Embassy Construction''' - A Galactic Hub architect will create an embassy base and (if desired/applicable) build an embassy base within your space. Embassies provide a show of support and respect from the Galactic Hub, as well as providing a point of interest for travelers.

== Chapters ==
"Chapters" are official organizations within the Galactic Hub which perform a specific function designed to benefit the community.

===GH Builders Guild (GHBG)===
The [[Galactic Hub Builders Guild]] (GHBG) is a GH chapter dedicated to creating public [[Habitable Base|bases]] for Hub colonies, special events, and major projects. The GHBG creates builds, assists other GH chapters with building needs, researches and develops new building techniques, helps train interested builders, and catalogues Hub builds. Lead by Director {{profile|italicinterloper}}, the GHBG oversees the creation of major monuments from PvP arenas to diplomatic embassies.

===GH Defense Force (GHDF)===
The [[Galactic Hub Defense Force]] (GHDF) is a GH chapter dedicated to policing the Galactic Hub, maintaining peace outside the Hub as appropriate (particularly during weekend events and at crucial update sites like the Living Ship planet), and occasionally intelligence gathering or other military applications. Lead by Head Security Officer {{reddit|MrJordanMurphy}}, the GHDF has gained both widespread fame among the legitimate community and infamy among trolls and would-be disruptors. GHDF Officers have official uniforms, training events, private communications channels, and more to facilitate their peacekeeping mission.

GHDF membership is strict. Generally, only well-established members of the Galactic Hub community are accepted as Officers. 450+ have applied but only ~110 have been accepted. [[Galactic_Hub_Defense_Force#Joining_the_GHDF|Application details here]].

''(Note that the GHDF and Galactic Hub Security Office are distinct and separate organizations, although there is collaboration.)''

===GH Exobiology Corps (GHEC)===
The [[Galactic Hub Exobiology Corps]] (GHEC) is a GH chapter dedicated to exploration, discovery, and documentation of fauna, with a particular focus on rare species within the Galactic Hub's borders. Led by Chief Research Officer {{reddit|Phaedrus29}}, the GHEC has already thoroughly documented many species and furthered scientific understanding of fauna in general (such as with this post on [https://www.reddit.com/r/NMS_Academia/comments/gsbw2m/new_diplo_sizing_tier_research_completed_link_and/ r/NMS_Academia]).

===GH Geological Surveyors (GHGS)===
The [[Galactic Hub Geological Surveyors]] (GHGS) is a GH chapter dedicated to locating S or A-class hotspots, mineral deposits, and gas clouds within the Galactic Hub. Led by {{reddit|mathfreak2}}, their work will be of direct and immediate benefit to the formation of new mining sites, colonies, individual player bases, and more.

===Hublic Broadcasting Service (HBS)===
The [[Hublic Broadcasting Service]] (HBS) is the GH's media production studio, dedicated to producing GH-related media and reaching out to NMS content creators to get them involved with the Hub. The HBS focuses on video media, although they also produce promotional and informational images and other content as well.

===GH Ship Hunters (GHSH)===
The [[Galactic Hub Ship Hunters]] (GHSH) is a GH chapter dedicated to exploration, discovery, and documentation of starships, freighters and multitools. Led by Brigantine {{reddit|ApexFatality}}, the GHSH continues a longstanding tradition in the Galactic Hub of locating and documenting desirable possessions for other players. In this, they are the successors to one of the oldest benefits of the Galactic Hub, one which predates any sort of "conventional" multiplayer features.

===GH Star League (GHSL)===
The [[Galactic Hub Star League]] (or just Star League for short) is the competitive simulation sports organization sponsored by the Galactic Hub, led by {{reddit|AugmentEcho}}. "Simulation Sports" is the umbrella category for any form of live-multiplayer or time-trial-based competitive event in No Man's Sky, such as mutually-agreed-upon player-versus-player (PVP) battles, exocraft racing, on-foot racing, starship battles, and many other possible events.

('''Note''': This is a volunteer form to help organize multiplayer events. To participate in multiplayer events, just show up! [[Galactic_Hub_Star_League#Joining_the_Star_League|More details available here.]]

===GH Treasury Department (GHTD)===
The [[Galactic Hub Treasury Department]] (GHTD) is an official legislative and executive department tasked with ensuring the smooth functioning of the HubCoin economy, led by {{profile|italicinterloper}}. The Treasury is also the primary driver behind many multiplayer social events.
