Main Menu & Quick Access
My Galaxy has two command layers — do not confuse them:
- Burger menu (top left) — your empire-wide tools: maps, fleets, messages, alliance, settings.
- Location menu (click your HQ on the map) — everything at that world: build, research, storage, local trade.
Burger menu (global)
Open the burger icon for panels that work across the galaxy:
| Entry | What it does |
|---|---|
| Maps | Switch between galaxy maps you control; jump to another map view. |
| Fleet | Overview of all your fleets on the current map — positions and status. |
| Messages | Inbox — diplomacy, trade replies, system notices, alliance invites. |
| Battle report | Log of recent fights — losses, wins, who hit whom. |
| Trade orders | Active trade runs galaxy-wide (not the same as the freeport market). |
| Alliance | Create, join, or manage your alliance. |
| Stats | Account stats and leaderboard rankings. |
| Galaktikum | Premium currency balance and purchases. |
| Player info | Profile, character, home map, points. |
| Help | Links to this full game guide (all languages). |
| Setup | Graphics, sound, language, quick-access shortcuts. |
| Minimap | Small strategic map — click to pan the main galaxy view. |
Only one panel stays open at a time — opening a new one closes the previous.
Quick HUD
Above the map you can pin favorite shortcuts to the same panels (enable in Setup). Defaults often include messages, maps, and minimap — customize to your play style.
Location menu (HQ click)
Click your headquarters building on a colony to open the location hub — twelve topics like building, research, shipyard, storage, energy, production, population, transport, trade, diplomacy, museum, and office. Locked tiles mean you still need the required building.
See Your Headquarters and the dedicated economy topics for each entry.
Tip
Learn the burger menu once, then live in the HQ hub while developing a world. Return to the burger menu when you switch maps or check messages.
