Galactic Core

Reaching the Quasar is one the three main goals of the game. The Quasar is also known as the Galactic Core. The Quasar is surrounded by the vast Grox Empire, which may I add is extremely powerful. It is approximately 1,000 parsecs from your homeplanet and has some interesting effect once your ship gets within about 100 parsecs from it.

Quasar Effects

 * The interstellar drive's range is reduced by 75%
 * Stars are in clusters, so travel is a bit tricky

Quasar Reward

 * Staff of Light (Genesis Device)
 * Enlightenment

To Get There
First of all you absolutely need a level 3 interstellar drive or better, with the limiting effects of the quasar this is just enought to travel between stars. The second thing you need is to have a wormhole key, that way you don't waste time going through the galaxy's arms. WARNING: If you use a black hole to get near the Quasar you have to remember the exact one to get back. To actually get to quasar you'll need to plow through the Grox huge empire, which won't be easy. Everytime you go to another of their systems they'll send one or two more ships to chase you, and will have up to a dozen ships. Their ships have 2,700 HP and do about 150 damage per second. To effectively fight them off you'll need health over 4,000 with Mega Repair Packs (Pack 10 at least, you'll need them!), Shield (basically invincibility for a minute or two), and Antimatter Missiles (Bring lots!) or Mega Proton Missiles. If you are lucky enough, you can also use a cloak, with it you won't all the stuff but is far harder to get unless you were Economy in Civ Phase. Those weapons and abilities are very effective on the Grox ships. WARNING: The Grox ships will even shoot you when in star map mode and the abilities and weapons only activate when in the atmosphere of a planet.

To Use Quasar

 * Simply go in like you were using a black hole to travel, don't worry it won't take you somewhere else never to return.
