	~~Establishing your first interstellar colony is relatively easy, compared~~ to ~~your first interplanetary colony. But it all depends on~~ the ~~destination~~ [[~~Solar_System\|solar system~~]] and ~~its [[world]]s~~.		This guide will go over to how acquire and produce the basic spacefaring technologies needed for a [[spacecraft]] capable of interstellar travel, as well as tips on exploration and founding your first interstellar colony.

	~~The first interstellar colony is the sign that the [[empire]] is truly space flight capable. In most cases also even [[FTL]] capable.~~		This topic assumes you have all basic manufacturing setup in your home system. This means a city capable of producing at least basic [[Space_Rocket\|space rocket]]s and have constructed a moon colony. Read the [[Building Your First Moon Colony]] guide if you have not established a moon colony yet.

	This topic assumes you have all basic manufacturing setup in your home system. ~~Capable~~ of producing at least basic [[~~spacecraft]] with [[Gravity_Drive~~\|~~gravity drive~~]] ~~technology~~ and ~~[[Wormhole_FTL_Drive\|wormhole FTL drive]] technology~~. Read [[Building Your First Moon Colony]] if you have not ~~built up your home system to produce these base spacefaring technologies~~.

It is critical that your home system has access to [[eludium]]. This allows the manufacturing of [[Gravity_Drive\|gravity drive]] technology, which is not only cheaper to produce but also much easier to operate than conventional [[Rocket_Drive\|rocket drive]]s.

	Access to [[lumenite]] will allow for [[Wormhole_FTL_Drive\|wormhole FTL drive]] technology, which lets spacecraft travel instantly between [[Solar_System\|solar system]]s~~. While this makes interstellar travel much much easier and faster, it is actually not a requirement if hour long sublight speed [[deadhead]]ing is considered tolerable~~.		Access to [[lumenite]] will allow for [[Wormhole_FTL_Drive\|wormhole FTL drive]] technology, which lets spacecraft travel instantly between [[Solar_System\|solar system]]s.

	~~If choosing to use a wormhole~~ FTL ~~drive~~, ~~be sure to skip the P version and go straight to the PN or PNN versions of the drive. A wormhole P FTL drive can only travel through positive~~ [[~~wormhole~~]]~~s, and this makes it impossible to return through a wormhole if doesn't have an inverted twin pair~~.		'''Note''': While FTL drives make interstellar travel much easier and faster, they're not a strict requirement if hour long sublight speed [[deadhead]]ing is considered tolerable.

Construct an [[Airport_Repair_Shop\|airport repair shop]] to start [[manufacturing]] of the modules.

'''Tip''': It's generally good to build a station at this point too. Stations will allow larger ships to be constructed, and also allow spacecraft to dock to it for trading and boarding purposes.

			==Another Possible Goal==
			Should you wish to have an exploration goal, you could refer to the [[Relic]] story. At the end of the second part, Dangerous Exchange, you'll be given co-ordinates to a [[sector]] containing a [[beacon]] and also a [[ringworld]]. These are very useful, and generally cool to colonize, so you may wish to find it. This is most easily do-able with [[Warp_Drive\|warp drive]]s, but you can try your luck with [[wormhole]] chains or even [[deadhead]]ing towards the target sector.
