You start off on a nearly forgotten planet called "Kalebesh" in the Vega system, as a smuggler. On this planet you will learn what things are, and you get your first missions, which will eventually lead you to a new planet called "Axiom". In the storyline you will get to some other planets, and also join the colonials, which are at first your enemy. After a big fight with a Mantis mother ship, you will go to a new star system, "Antares". Here you meet the Admiral, and will help him find his daughter. After another big fight, you will gain access to another system: "Gemini", where you meet Isaac, Sara, and villagers who survived the war with the Mantis. when finally finishing the extremely hard story line you will reach "Mizar", where you meet the Baumarian Fighters. After yet another big fight you will reach our own solar system, Sol, which is now controlled by Imperials. After stealing and ancient artifact from the Emperor and once again a massive mantis ship, you will gain entrance to Draconis, the newest system of Pirate Galaxy at the moment. Here you meet the Methanoids, another alien race. In Draconis is the mother ship of the Mantis: the Mantis hive, where you will defeat the Mantis Queen to complete the ancient artifact. After experiments with the artifact a wormhole will open to the new system. The sirius singularity. Here your next adventure begins. Untold riches and wealth await you there, but only for the bravest of pilots who choose to yet again face the mantis and the rogue methanoid criminals.
Cryonite. The most precious mineral in the galaxy. It is extremely rare and only found deep in a planet's crust. Previously the Systems were a hub filled with merchants, trading for Cryonite. When the mantis struck, the rich merchants were forced into slavery.
Tank: The muscle of Pirate galaxy, these behemoths have high hitpoints but are relatively slow and have mediocre attack power. While virtually unstoppable by mantis, player versus player these ships tend to fail. this includes the new META-01 Tank, and the extremely strong AnIn-1 Dominator
Engineer: The pilot of one of these ships is your best friend. The engineer can repair ships around it and even rebuild your ship if you are shot down. that includes the META-04 engineer and AnIn-3 Constructor
Storm: These ships have the highest firepower. They shoot harder and more accurately than any other ship in the game, and are the only ones equipped with rockets. like the META-02 Storm and AnIn-12 Parsec
Shock: These ships are arguably the best player vs player fighter, able to stun enemy ships and use a speed actuator which speeds up the equipment of allies. two examples: the META-03 Shock and AnIn-10 terrorizor
The following ship types are unlocked as you progress through the game;
Sniper: These ships have immensely long-range and powerful weapons which take down enemies before being seen, and can deploy an attack droid to aid the player during close-quarters firefights. such as the META-05 Sniper and STAM-X shadow Sniper
Defender: These minelayers are essentially defensive ships, which can lay mines and drop turrets which attack enemies and repair allies. this class is the newest, and only ship in it's class is the META-X Defender
Starting off on the planet Kalabesh in the Vega System, there are a total of 7 star systems and over 30 planets to explore.
