| − | A planet is a valid target via adjacency if it is next to an allied planet with an active Wormhole Stabilizer. A planet is a valid target via warp if there are at least 10 dropships from your faction in orbit. Dropships can be sent across the galaxy using Warp Cores, but can be blocked by Warp Jammers.

The list of valid targets is generated at the start of your factions attack turn and it never shrinks. The list of valid targets in the lobby and at the top of the galaxy is a naively generated list of the top six best targets. If you want to attack a valid target which is not on the list navigate to the planets page and click "ATTACK PLANET". This is the only way to attack a planet that may be newly valid due to the passing of a galactic turn or newly broken alliance. You need to be logged into the site and lobby for the button to appear. | The list of valid targets is generated at the start of your factions attack turn and it never shrinks.

A battle requires players from both the attacking and defending factions. The attacking players are determined by the process of initiating the attack the defenders are determined by responding to the challenge that attack creates. Signing up to defend is much like attacking. The battle begins when the required number of defenders sign up. | A battle requires players from both the attacking and defending factions.

If by the end of this time, the defending team has one player less than the required number of players a battle will start with uneven teams. This can cause 2v1 or 3v2 battles to occur. In this case one player on the defending team will receive two commanders. |

The attackers gain influence from a successful invasion and defenders can have their structures disabled. The attacking faction gains an amount of influence depending on their dropships, command centers and the winner of the battle. The simple version of influence is that factions must collect 50 influence on a planet to capture it. For more depth see the [[PlanetWars influence|influence page]]. | The attackers gain influence from a successful invasion and defenders can have their structures disabled.

If the defender wins then all structures that were destroyed ingame are disabled. If the attacker wins then all structures which were not evacuated are disabled. If the attacker conquerors the planet all structures are disabled, so neither side needs to worry about preserving structures for the future owner of the planet. |
Both sides gain an amount of metal, awarded to the participating players, depending on the planets distance to their homeworld. | Both sides gain an amount of metal, awarded to the participating players, depending on the planets distance to their homeworld. | ||
