Glossary

Classes, rarity, roles, slots and tokens, explained plainly.

No login

Short definitions of the words you meet in the Star Atlas catalogue and on the tools here. Each definition stays inside what the public catalogue and token data show.

Terms 16

ATLAS

The Star Atlas in-game currency token on Solana. The catalogue lists ATLAS as the exclusive currency of 49 items. See the ATLAS and POLIS price tracker for its live price.

POLIS

The governance token of the Star Atlas DAO on Solana. Its on-chain supply is about 360 million, against about 36 billion for ATLAS.

MSRP (launch price)

The price in USDC the catalogue records for a ship or item at its original sale. It is not a current market price, and items never sold for money have none.

Size class

The size of a ship in the catalogue, from smallest to largest: xx-small, x-small, small, medium, large, capital, commander and titan.

Rarity

The catalogue's label for how scarce an item is. For ships and items the values are common, uncommon, rare, epic, legendary and anomaly; some crew packs use silver, gold and platinum.

Role (spec)

The job a ship is designed for in the catalogue, such as fighter, freighter, bomber, racer, miner, transport, data runner, bounty hunter, rescue, repair, salvage or multi-role.

Make

The manufacturer of a ship in the catalogue, for example Pearce, Fimbul, Ogrika, Calico, Opal, Rainbow, VZUS, Busan, Tufa or Armstrong Industries.

Crew slot

A seat for a crew member on a ship, with a role such as Pilot, Navigator, Science Officer or Weapons Operator and a count.

Component slot

A place for fitted equipment on a ship, such as a Power Core, Shield Generator, Warp Drive, Subwarp Engine, Scanner Array or Mining Rig, with a size and a count.

Module slot

A place for an add-on module on a ship. In the catalogue ships list Fuel module slots, with a size and a count.

Hardpoint

A weapon mounting slot. The catalogue lists fixed hardpoints and turret hardpoints, each with a size and a count.

Galactic Marketplace

The in-game, on-chain marketplace of Star Atlas, described by the developer hub as decentralised MMO-style trading. These tools do not read it.

Fully diluted value (FDV)

A token's price multiplied by its total supply. We compute it from the DEX price and the on-chain supply.

Market cap

Price multiplied by circulating supply, as reported by the data source, which chooses its own circulating figure.

Liquidity (pool)

The US dollar value held in a trading pool. More liquidity usually means a trade moves the price less.

DEX

A decentralised exchange, where tokens trade from pools of tokens on-chain. ATLAS and POLIS trade on Solana DEXs such as Raydium, Orca and Meteora.

Definitions describe how the public catalogue and token data label things, read 30 October 2026. They are not game rules.

How it works

We define a term only when the catalogue or the token data backs it, and we say when a definition is about how the catalogue labels things rather than how the game plays. Filter the list as you type.

Frequently asked questions

Where do the definitions come from?

From the public Star Atlas Galaxy API catalogue and from on-chain token data, read on 30 October 2026.

Why is gameplay not explained here?

Star Atlas changes quickly and we do not state game mechanics we cannot source. Where a term needs the official documents, we say so.
