In the Star Atlas metaverse, a DAC (Decentralized Autonomous Corporation) is more than just a guild or alliance it’s the core social and organizational structure of the game. DACs enable players to collaborate under shared goals and identities, shaping gameplay, strategy, and community
What Is a DAC?
A DAC is a player-created organization designed for cooperation, coordination, and shared progression. Whether focused on mining, combat, exploration, logistics, or governance, DACs provide a formal way for players to unite and operate as a collective.
Each DAC defines its own structure, values, and recruitment strategy. They are self-governed entities with the flexibility to adopt democratic models, hierarchical leadership, or hybrid systems — depending on the goals and vision of the group.
Community, Identity & Purpose
At the heart of every DAC is its community. Members form social bonds, create shared lore, execute missions together, and often shape the political or economic landscape of Star Atlas. Being part of a DAC means more than playing side-by-side — it means building a shared legacy in the Galia Expanse.
DAC Platform on Play
In early 2024, Star Atlas launched the DAC Platform v0 on play.staratlas.com/dac, allowing players to:
Create DACs on-chain with a custom name, avatar, banner and public description
Add tags (e.g., faction, gameplay style) to improve discoverability
Generate affiliate join links to recruit new members
Explore and apply to existing DACs that align with their values
⚠️ While the DAC Platform is not yet connected to in-game features, it serves as the official registry for player organizations. Future updates will integrate DACs directly into gameplay and governance systems.
What’s Coming Next?
Future DAC Platform updates will introduce advanced capabilities like:
Treasury & resource management
Internal roles and permission control
Asset pooling and shared inventory
Voting and proposal systems
In-game utility across SAGE, UE5, and other modules
These features aim to empower DACs as true strategic, economic, and political entities in Star Atlas — enabling them to operate like decentralized guilds with real impact on the metaverse.
