> SAGE as you know it from playing — every gameplay concept, connected by what it does, each linking to its guide.

This is SAGE as you know it from playing: the things you own, the places you
go, and what connects them. Every star links to that concept's guide, and the
connections say what actually happens in the game — not what the code calls
it.

_An interactive version of this diagram is on the web page._

Start from **You**: every read in the SDK begins with who you are, and every
concept on this map is reachable from there — your fleets and everything they
do across the top, the galaxy and what you plant on it below, the starbase
economy to the right, and where you stand with the factions along the bottom.

The same structure in words:

- **You** [rise through](/guides/council-rank/) Council Rank, which unlocks
  [crafting habs](/guides/crafting-habs/) and
  [claim stakes](/guides/claim-stakes/).
- **You command [fleets](/guides/fleets/)**, which
  [carry cargo](/guides/cargo/),
  [mine asteroids](/guides/mining/) to fill the hold,
  [scan for SDUs](/guides/scanning/), [fight](/guides/combat/), and
  [travel by warp and subwarp](/guides/moving-a-fleet/) — journeys that
  [chain into Plans](/guides/plan-sequences/).
- **Fleets cross the [starmap](/guides/world/)**, whose bodies hold
  [claim stakes](/guides/claim-stakes/), and
  [dock at starbases](/guides/starbases/), which host
  [crafting habs](/guides/crafting-habs/) that
  [run crafting](/guides/crafting/), and where you
  [trade through markets](/guides/markets/).
- **You stand with a [faction](/guides/factions/)**, accruing
  [loyalty points](/guides/loyalty/) that
  [earn a share of each epoch's rewards](/guides/rewards/).

Once you can name the concept, the code follows: the
[API map](/map/) shows the same universe from the SDK's side — every entry
point and the calls that connect them.
