Starport Legends Whitepaper v2.0

The product

Starport Legends begins as a 2D sci-fi narrative action game set in The Starport Chronicles. Phase One follows the Nightingale Squad through Starport, Deepforge, and Verdant Star as a post-war order begins to fracture.

The first release is designed around readable action, authored story encounters, exploration, squad abilities, and a complete opening arc. It is not presented as a finished live service or a playable product today.

The world

The central conflict is not simply one civilisation against another. The Maelstrom Dominion believes free will is the source of suffering; the Galactic Federal Republic defends freedom while hiding the compromises that preserved its peace. Starport Gate connects those ideas to an older system of memory, will, and control.

The Foundation

The Starport Foundation is the intended long-term steward for the project’s intellectual property, public records, and future treasury. The current project remains pre-incorporation. Until a legal entity, operating rules, and production systems are ready, this website explains direction rather than simulating institutional powers that do not yet exist.

Founder credential

Starport has selected a consumer-product Founder credential route for commemorative identity and clearly delivered utility. An Ethereum contract implementation exists in private source, but its address, verified source, permissions, final configuration, and independent review are not public.

The credential does not currently grant equity, Foundation ownership, dividends, guaranteed returns, revenue or treasury distributions, game advantage, or automatic governance power. Transferability, supply, price, metadata, immediately delivered benefits, and future participation eligibility remain unresolved and create no present rights. No public mint is available in V1; public activation follows playable evidence and a separate issuance-readiness gate.

Governance

Community governance is a later operational layer. It should begin only after there is a functioning game, a defined treasury, enforceable rules, and decisions that can be executed responsibly. V1 publishes the principles; it does not offer binding votes.

Delivery sequence

1. Lock the world, product direction, and public Canon.
2. Build and test the combat and narrative prototype.
3. Produce a vertical slice with one complete playable chapter.
4. Establish the legal and operational Foundation structure.
5. Ship and stabilize V1.0 before expanding community authority.

Starport Legends is a long build. Public claims should stay narrower than the work until the work can support them.
