Galaxy

The Galaxy.

The Galaxy or "Stellar Zoo" is the Galaxy in the Spore Universe. Stellar Zoo is a Spiral Galaxy and contains over thousands of Solar systems. But you can not travel to other Planets and Solar systems before you have come to the Space phase, and then you must build a UFO. Only when you have the UFO can you now travel to another Planets in your Solar system, and the Sun will be in the center. You can zoom out more to see the whole of space and now can you travel to thousands of Solar systems. And if you zoom out more will you see the whole Galaxy. You can see all Planets you have discovered in a database called, Sporepedia. The Galaxy is divided into Solar systems and maybe also Sectors and Regions.

Planets, Moons and Asteroids

Cattor, a Planet in Galvopa system.

There will be millions of Planets and Moons in "Stellar Zoo". Many of these Planets are inhabitated, like Bilzac. But many planets are also barren with no Civilizations, like Lamstus. The Greevils had a Colony on a moon, and it was rotating around a Gasgiant.

Solar systems

Screeble discover another Solar system.

A solar system is a single star and all the planets, asteroids and other astronomical features that orbit it or are within a reasonable distance. However, since the gap between each star is so huge, features are simply grouped with the closest star, so there is no set distance. Galvopa system is a known Solar system and is the home system of the Screeble species.

"Oh, well, there will be probably well over a hundred thousand. I mean, far more than a player could ever visit. Which is why there is no point to having another galaxy. If there are going to be thousands of stars in a galaxy there is no way that one person in their lifetime could ever visit them all." - Will Wright

When the UFO leaves the Planet, and then the Solar system, the Player will find himself in the very large void of space, however the Player is not all alone. Using the UFO tools (namely the SETI tool) it is possible to find other inhabited Solar systems with Planets at various stages of evolution. The player can travel to these Solar systems and Planets to make contact with the inhabitants.
