What this is
In Xia: Legends of a Drift System, players pilot their ship to stardom in a massive sci-fi sandbox. Navigating hazardous environments, players choose to mine, salvage, or trade valuable cargo. Players might choose not to explore at all, creating a tiny arena for swift and deadly combat, or explore all 19 sectors and have a large play-scape to exploit.
