Silicon Schism

About Silicon Schism

THE SILICON SCHISM

Humanity scattered across the stars after the Great Exodus, and the galaxy fractured. Five powers now fight for control of what's left — the anti-AI Terran Purist Mandate, the human/AI symbiotes of the Synthetica Concord, the gate-monopolist Solar Hegemony, the sovereign Astro-Extraction Guilds, and the warp-raiding Void Corsairs. Where you point your guns reshapes the Schism.

TRADE
• 12 real star systems within ~17 light-years of Sol — Sol, Proxima Centauri,
Sirius, Tau Ceti, Altair and more, each with grounded astronomy and lore.
• A living economy: supply, demand and blockades move prices station to station.
• Earn your way from a starter hull to a heavy freighter or strike fighter.

FLY & FIGHT
• Full 3D flight sim — throttle, pitch, yaw, roll, boost and fire, all on on-screen controls built for touch.
• Four ship classes to buy and outfit: cargo pods, engine tuners, scanners, lasers, plating, shields, an aft turret, and the Alcubierre Warp Drive that unlocks jumps between systems.
• Guided homing missiles — lock a target, fire, watch it chase.
• Cinematic docking, witchspace warp tunnels, and faction-aware ambushes in transit.

REAL-TIME MULTIPLAYER
• See other commanders fly your system live.
• Challenge anyone to 1v1 — or queue globally.
• Deathmatch: first to 5 frags in a shared asteroid arena, with
server-validated hits (no fakes).
• Kill Race: 15 minutes against shared, server-simulated enemies — most kills wins.
• Daily kill leaderboard resets every day.

MISSIONS & FACTIONS
• A full data-driven quest system: 300+ contracts across the major factions.
• On-screen Quest Journal — accept, track, and abandon missions.
• Branching dialogue where your choices have consequences.
• Faction standing with all five powers — turn hostile and they stop dealing with you.

DEEP SPACE
• Supercruise: hold boost on clear approaches for fast travel, dropping to combat speed when enemies appear.
• Massive planets that fill the view — with real crash physics.
• Reworked cinematic docking approach and a redesigned Concord megastructure.

MULTIPLAYER
• Opponents now fly their actual purchased faction ships.

POLISH
• Cleaner, more readable UI throughout; clearer flight HUD.
• Large-screen and foldable support.

CHOOSE A SIDE
• Build your commander from three origins and allocate your skills.
• Your kills shift your alignment between Purist and Synthetic — and the world reacts. Rack up bounties, pay them off, or run.
• Lose your ship and you lose your upgrades — but salvage what you can and fly again.

The galaxy is server-authoritative: your credits, cargo, ship and progress are safe in the cloud. Jump in, pick a side, and trade — or burn — your way across
the Schism.
