Bot players
The game have an automated allianced called [iCORE]
That alliance have 2 major AI players;
BORG, the highest advanced player, it have a really huge tech, huge fleets and it own a base on each galaxy core, with a public Spacegate level 25 where anyone can use. The usage of that Spacegate have a cost based on your fleet size.
BORC, AI player that inherits the inactive or deleted accounts bases, so it is normal to BORC have hundreds if not thousands of bases. Its tech isn't big, but it is not low and easy to hit
You can attack BORC bases, occupy it and pillage. We encourage you to do it, but be prepared for BORC retaliation. It bites 
[iCORE] have an blacklist with players that attacked them, it might be used against you if you do so.
Soon: [iCORE] will have a stronghold! The 10th galaxy (A10, B10, ...) will be a nasty area to land your ships, be prepared for swift interception and battles by BORC and BORG, they will hunt you down until you cry like a baby
