HS-UNIVERSES

The universe is the spice. The spice is the universe .. or something like that.

A universe is just that .. a universe. HSpace objects exist within universes, so they have to exist before any objects can exist. Whether a ship is flying through space or sitting on the surface of a planet, it belongs to a universe.

Each universe in HSpace relates to exactly one room in the game, created for the sole purpose of having a universe in the game. For each universe that exists, there must exist a room for that universe. This is needed for when ships are actively flying through space. It is also useful for looking at the room and the contents of that room to see what objects are actively in the universe.

You may have many universes, or you may have one. Often it is helpful to have at least two universes, one for real ships flying through space, and one for simulator combat that shouldn't interfere with the real universe(s).
