In Brief:
- Aephia Industries has launched C4 Live, an interactive 3D galaxy map of the Star Atlas (official site) SAGE C4 war on z.ink, announced in a post from @Siphaawal.
- The dashboard sorts the game’s chain data into Mining, Combat, Fleets, Owners, DACs and System views, with ships drawn to scale.
- The official @staratlas account quoted the announcement with one word: “Incredible.”
Aephia Industries has put the SAGE C4 war on one interactive 3D map. C4 Live went up at ses.aephia.com/C4Live, and a post from @Siphaawal announced it.
“AEP(@aephia) C4 LIVE IS HERE! A more analytical view of whats going on in Galia,” the post said.
Incredible.
The post called it “The entire @staratlas SAGE C4 war on @ZinkSVM, brought to life in one massive, interactive 3D galaxy.” It said every piece of data is pulled directly from the blockchain.
The Star Atlas account shared the post with a one-word comment: “Incredible.”
What the map shows
The map is the whole page. A brand and stats bar runs across the top, map controls sit on the left and an analytics dock sits on the right, which turns into a bottom sheet on phones. The page notes that “Ships are drawn to scale; zoom in to see them.”
The dock has six tabs: Mining, Combat, Fleets, Owners, DACs and System. A “Find owner” search takes a fleet name, an owner name or an address. Users can color the map by faction, and clicking a faction filters the whole page.
Mining views include top mining fleets, top mining owners and live output by resource. The page says mining rates come from “Asteroid counters diffed over each run, scaled to an approximate hourly rate.” A concentration chart plots the cumulative share of output held by the largest owners.
The Combat tab tracks destroyed fleets, starbases under fire, the most engaged players and a 24-hour activity chart built from chain timestamps. A “Faction vs faction (likely)” panel pairs opposing owners.
Aephia flags that pairing as an estimate. Its explanation reads: “Fleets stamped with the same combat second. The chain keeps no attacker record, and allies can share a stamp.”
Owners, prices and DACs
Owner profiles cover identity and wealth, with copyable wallet and profile addresses and a leaderboard. Holdings carry mainnet reference prices where a priced mainnet match exists. The page warns when those prices are older than 26 hours, saying “thin mainnet books may have moved since.”
The DACs tab isn’t live data yet. It carries the label “EXAMPLE – not real DAC membership” and places real C4 players into DACs only to preview how the view will look.
NPC fleets show up on the map too, and they all share one profile.
How the data gets there
A collector writes snapshots on a schedule, and the page shows how old the current snapshot is and when the next refresh is due. Settled mining figures need two snapshots to compare, so they start after the second run.
The page keeps the last good read in the visitor’s browser. If the chain can’t be reached, it shows the message “Could not reach z.ink, so this is still your saved data.”
The page code dates the current version, v2, to Nov. 7, 2026.
Background on C4
Aephia’s weekly Star Atlas newsletter reported in late May 2026 that SAGE C4 had gone live as a public test realm (PTR) on the z.ink testnet, which launched the week before. The newsletter called it SAGE’s biggest update to date.
The newsletter said the PTR’s July 2026 phase two added Combat V2, the Nemesis Engine, Cultivation Claims, regional governance, zXP support and a Goal system. C4 tracks zXP once players link their PTR account at z.ink/dashboard.
z.ink is the SVM Layer 1 built by the Star Atlas team. ATMTA, the company behind Star Atlas, plans to set a mainnet date once phase three is ready, according to the newsletter.
The C4 Live map also names the Gallowspine Titan among its ships. In a follow-up reply, @Siphaawal wrote: “Most ships never return from the dead. But with the Gallowspine Titan…”
