What you are joining.
The short answers are here. The Meridian Archive holds the complete setting, factions, hulls, worlds, technology, battle record, and story when you want the full depth.
What is Null Meridian?
A free browser strategy game played in six-week seasons. You command one permanent home planet, build its economy, research technology, explore the frontier, and send Fleets on combat or collector routes.
How do hourly turns work?
You can issue orders whenever you like. Once each hour, the server resolves income, construction, research, ship production, scans, missions, battles, and expeditions for everyone in the same order.
Do I need to stay online?
No. Queue work, plot routes, and leave. Your orders resolve on the shared clock while you are away, and the command record shows what happened when you return.
What survives the end of a season?
Your account, commander identity, honours, history, and relationships remain. Planets, resources, research, structures, and Fleets belong to the season and reset when the Fracture closes.
Can another player eliminate me?
No. Your home planet is permanent for the season. Raids can steal resources and disrupt production, but they do not conquer your home or remove you from play.
What are collector expeditions?
Assign a collector hull to a mobile Fleet, then survey, mine, harvest gas, salvage, or investigate archaeology sites. The route locks that Fleet until its deterministic cargo returns on a later tick.
Does money buy power?
No. Null Meridian does not sell resources, build time, research, ships, or military advantage. Every commander plays under the same rules and shared clock.
Is the story released over time?
No. The First Canticle is a complete twelve-record story that is simply available on the website. Live ticks change the game state, never which story pages you may read.
