# Planets

**Planets** serve as a central point for all types of services or passive income opportunities. Players will be able to use planets for a variety of uses:

* Bots and account upgrade: players sell upgrades to other players
* Producing and trading ship parts: players can create ship parts out of their resources and bots and sell them
* Improved manufacturing: players create manufacturing sites to produce certain items
* Mining resources: players extract valuable resources planetside

Alliances are able to own planets, and thus set fees for all economic activity taking place. This creates a massive drive to battle for planets and create services that will better serve your community and ability to battle others. Lastly, planets will also be the home for tournaments, creating a ranked system of engagement for members of the community.
