White Star is another game mode in Hades Star, similar to Red Stars (co-op PvE), Blue Stars (solo PvP/PvE last player standing). White star is Team-Player vs Team-Player.

Team sizes are 5 on 5, 10 on 10, or 15 on 15. You can view different on-going matches through the Corp-Chat window.

White star is a 5 day long match, where its slowed down by 600. In any other Star, crossing a sector might take your ship 30 seconds. In a white star, it can take 5 hours or more. Time is commonly measured in "ticks" of 2 minute intervals.

Players will generally dedicate up to 2 ships for the 5 day battle, 1 civilian ship (miner/transport) and 1 battleship. Because time is so slow and actions take hours/days to resolve, you should NOT count on having those ships available for YS, BLS, or RS activities.

Overall WS goal is to retrieve Relics from planets on the WS, bringing them back to your team's gate. These relics are then used for leveling up your corporation, which provide many benefits like higher artifact % bonuses, more seats in the corporation, better flagship level, better passive income bonus, etc, prestige, etc. The match winner is determined by which team successfully retrieves the most relics by the end of the 5 days.

Your team is also measured on performance for specific actions, such as damage dealt to enemy battleships, hydrogen mined & deposited on a relic planet, and relics picked up from planets and returned safely to your jump gate. This is called the "red bar" and is measured in "3 ticks". Each tick will increase the end of match rewards for your team. The rewards tables vary for Winning vs Losing team (or Draw), how much redbar you achieved (1 tick, 2 tick, 3 tick), and your current red-star-scanner level at time of match-end. One of our UIH Discord bots has a command to show you the rewards.
