These resources usually fall into two main categories: mineral ore and energy matter. There are over 100 different types of ores and energy matters traded on Calypso every day, some common, some extremely rare, and some extremely valuable.

With the resources gathered by miners, Crafters transform raw materials and natural resources into useful and valuable items and equipment. From furniture and clothing to weapons and vehicles, colonists rely on crafters to provide them with all of the things that life on Calypso requires. Since the landscape is huge, there are several type of vehicles, ranging from ground to air vehicles, to even space ship which are used for transportation or raids in space for those travel between planets.

PvP combat takes on many forms and takes on Calypso - on foot, in vehicles, on land, in water, in the air, and even in space.
