= Irregularity =
The '''Irregularity''' is a distortion that spreads through a whole world. It belongs to the [[The Void Arc|Void Arc]]: battles between players raise it, peace lets it fade. Every player of the world shares the same value.

== Where to see it ==
Once a world has any Irregularity, a meter with its value appears in the header of [[Galaxy]] and [[Fleet Movement]]. Hover or focus it for a short explanation.

== What raises it ==
* Only '''battles between two players''' count. Fights with bots, [[Void Boss Combat|Void Bosses]] and other non-player targets never do.
* The defender must have played within the last '''7 days'''. Attacks on inactive players do not count.
* Each battle adds the value destroyed on '''both sides''', compared with the strength of the world's top players: the median total points of the 10 strongest players. A clash between leading players moves the meter; a small skirmish barely does. That keeps the pace the same on small and large worlds.
* For example: if the median of the top 10 is 200 million points, a battle that destroys 2 million in ships on both sides together adds 1%.
* One attacker and one defender together add at most '''5% per day''' in that direction. Farming the same target does not push it faster.

== What lowers it ==
After '''24 hours''' without a counted battle, the Irregularity falls by '''2% per day''' until the next one. A short war leaves a mark; a long war builds it up.

== Updates ==
The value is updated '''once per hour''' from the battles since the last update, so a big battle shows up on the meter within the hour.

== Milestones ==
At '''25%, 50%, 75% and 90%''' every player of the world receives a [[Transmissions|transmission]], whatever their own story stage. A milestone is reached once: its transmission stays in your archive even if the value falls again. The first one unlocks the next part of the story.

What happens at 100% is not known yet.
