Players are intergalactic shipping companies building automated ships to explore the galaxy; mine for resources and claim dominion over the infinite expanse.

JonathanDark: Puzzler he/him
An anonymous Wordsmith requested that I posted the following addendum to this Backronym:
Play occurs in two places - Earth; and a star system marked for exploitation far; far away. A portal has been just established on Gateway Prime on the star system. Each turn; you draw blueprints and sent built ships thru Gateway Prime; and research new modules with the stuff you mined and sent back to Earth. The star system rotates; which means you have to think about how to get to the resources on the planets over there and back.
Clucky: he/him
@JonathanDark can on confirm if the addendum was something that should’ve been included in the original post but you erred and missed it, or was just a request that was sent after (which the as far as I’m aware, the rules don’t really have much to say about and thus personally I feel apt to just ignore it)

I can confirm that I did not err and miss it. Rather, the Wordsmith who authored this Backronym whished to add it to their flavor text description, but since this is an Official Post, it is regulated by the edit window and I could not add it to the description at the time that Wordsmith wished to add it.
Bucky:
Score 1
This looks like someone has figured out what Buzzword #6 is but can’t cash in directly because it starts with the wrong letter and has thus resorted to a vaguely thematically related word salad to try to score four one-point bonuses.
Bucky:
Correction: the later part is aimed at Buzzword #7 instead. It still doesn’t help because the main problems are in the logic of it, like parasec not describing an area/volume, resulting from the degree to which the words have been shoehorned together.

Score 2. We just did a shipping dynasty that didn’t really seem to work and nothing about the title seems to properly relate to the shipping nature of the dynasty.
