Strange aliens, dubbed "Agatus" and "Spinel", have been discovered. Their bodies are made of a strange material that causes breaches in the fabric of space when they gather in large numbers, allowing them to periodically drift into our maps.

Collect the Agate Splinters from these aliens to craft special recipes! The Aliens are appearing on the X-3, X-4, X-5, X-6, X-7 and X-8 maps.

They will spawn at the following times (Local Server Times): 08:00 to 16:00 (8 hours) and 18:00 to 23:59 (6 hours) everyday.

First, you need to hunt down the aliens called “Spinel” to make the Boss Alien “Agatus” spawn. Agatus spawns Minions called “Spinelus” which are attacking you when you enter their range.

But be cautious: If the Agatus get weaker, they’ll drop ACM-1 mines! On kill, the Spinels have a chance to get Agate Splinter as rewards which can be used to craft special recipes!

When killing Agatus, a reward box is given to the Top 3 Damage Dealers which includes a some Agate Splinters, as well as the chance to get PLT-2021, UBR-100, Extra Energy, SAR-02, MCB-50 and PLD-8.

Please note that the “Spinelus” don’t drop any rewards boxes! After the event ends, the Agate Splinters that you’ve collected during the event will stay in your account and you can use them in the next event run.

The Galaxy Trek event is live again from 2nd to 8th July!

The event presents a feature where you need to move steps forward similar to a board game. It’s about exploring a new unknown galaxy shown as a separate playfield in a new event window. You need to gain FTL keys to take steps in the event window – like this you can explore the different planets one by one.

Each exploration triggers missions and will provide explroration progress. After having finished the whole progress of each exploration, you’ll get a completion reward. The next planet unlocks and you can continue with exploring.

Your goal is to explore all 40 planets in the 8 different zones (each with 5 planets) to obtain all rewards.

All details are in our FAQ: FAQ - Galaxy Trek Event | DarkOrbit

Please note: The rewards mentioned in the FAQ are from the first run of the event and they can change with each re-run.

The Black Light are up to something - some aliens in the Galaxy Gates have been hoarding a new Chromin resource. Clear out affected Galaxy Gates and create Hecate Ullrin and Berserker Ullrin ship designs, the DMG-ZEP01 ship upgrade module as well as a lot of other extras with Chromin.

The newest edition of Chromin Rush is running from 1st to 7th July 2026.

Join the march in defeating aliens and retrieve the precious Luminium! Use Luminium to craft a variety of useful resources and uncover the Empyrian Zephyr Ship Design, the Inferno Cerberus Drone Design, and the Cerberus Drone Design in the Empyrian Booty Box! 

Every once in a while, a huge star explodes, sending tiny pieces flying all across the cosmos. Along with the massive surge of energy radiating through the cosmos, fragments known as Luminium have now scattered all throughout the galaxy! This sparkling new resource seems to harness great energy and potential especially when used in crafting. During this time, pilots all around the galaxy would head out in a grand scale to scavenge for Luminium, and eventually it was dubbed the Empyrian March.

Though…it seems like this time, the phenomenon has caught the attention of aliens as well, they’ve hoarded all the Luminium to themselves! Fight aliens and retrieve the fragments of the fallen star!

Hello SpacePilots,

Today, we are executing another ban wave against players that are acting against our T&C. We’re banning players that could be detected for the first time for 3 days, removed their Honor Points and they will be removed from the rankings as well. We want to emphasize that such a temporary ban is a serious warning for those players who act against our T&C. If you continue to break the rules, you risk losing your account!

Players that could be detected again after being warned during one of the last ban waves get their account permanently closed. But this warning is not necessarily done when we detect players breaking the T&C several times during the detection period. In this case, the account will be closed without any warning. 

In case of any questions, please use our support form.
