Dark Matter is a paid premium service used to purchase various gameplay upgrades.

Dark Matter is substance of unknown composition that does not emit or reflect enough electromagnetic radiation to be observed directly, but whose presence can be inferred from gravitational effects on visible matter. As such, it is a very rare and valuable substance in the universe.

Storing Dark Matter has only been possible for a few years and still takes a lot of effort. The methods used to gain dark matter are complex and full of risks.

Dark Matter is a non-tradeable resource, neither can it be used to build infrastructure or research technologies. Since Version 4.0 was released, Dark matter can be used to purchase 10%, 20% or 30% resource increase and also to halve/finish building upgrades, researching and also ships/defences being built in the ship yard. Dark Matter can also not be traded to other players or be stolen from you in a raid. You cannot see how much Dark Matter a player has in a espionage report.
