–General In-Game Description


Survey Data is a special commodity obtained by surveying uninhabited planets. It comes in five classes of increasing value, depending on what the survey finds.

Currently the only use of survey data is to be sold at markets for credits. Survey data can be sold even if the player has already colonized the relevant planet.
