In Brief:
- A post from @Siphaawal announced C4 Live, an interactive 3D galaxy map from Aephia Industries that tracks the Star Atlas ATLAS $0.000111 ▼ -5.1% (official site) SAGE C4 war on z.ink.
- Chain data on the dashboard is split into Mining, Combat, Fleets, Owners, DACs and System views, and ships appear at scale.
- The official @staratlas account quoted the announcement and added a single word: “Incredible.”
The SAGE C4 war now fits on a single interactive 3D map built by Aephia Industries. A post from @Siphaawal announced the launch of C4 Live, which is hosted at ses.aephia.com/C4Live.
“AEP(@aephia) C4 LIVE IS HERE! A more analytical view of whats going on in Galia,” the post said.
Incredible.

The announcement described the project as “The entire @staratlas SAGE C4 war on @ZinkSVM, brought to life in one massive, interactive 3D galaxy.” The post also said all of the data comes straight from the blockchain.
Star Atlas reshared it with a one-word comment: “Incredible.”
What the map shows
The whole page is the map. Across the top runs a bar with branding and stats. Map controls are on the left, and an analytics dock is on the right (on phones it becomes a bottom sheet). A note on the page says, “Ships are drawn to scale; zoom in to see them.”
Six tabs make up the dock: Mining, Combat, Fleets, Owners, DACs and System. Visitors can type a fleet name, owner name or address into a “Find owner” search. The map can be colored by faction, and a click on any faction filters the entire page.
On the mining side, the views list the top mining fleets, the top mining owners and live output for each resource. According to the page, mining rates are based on “Asteroid counters diffed over each run, scaled to an approximate hourly rate.” A concentration chart shows how much of total output the biggest owners hold, as a cumulative share.
Under Combat, the dashboard follows destroyed fleets, starbases taking fire and the most active players, plus a 24-hour activity chart drawn from chain timestamps. Opposing owners are matched up in a “Faction vs faction (likely)” panel.
Aephia marks those matchups as estimates. The note explains: “Fleets stamped with the same combat second. The chain keeps no attacker record, and allies can share a stamp.”
Owners, prices and DACs
Each owner profile covers identity and wealth, includes wallet and profile addresses that can be copied, and links to a leaderboard. When a priced mainnet match exists, holdings show mainnet reference prices. If those prices are more than 26 hours old, the page flags it with the warning that “thin mainnet books may have moved since.”
Live data hasn’t reached the DACs tab yet. It’s labeled “EXAMPLE – not real DAC membership” and assigns real C4 players to DACs only as a preview of the eventual layout.
The map includes NPC fleets as well, all under a single shared profile.
How the data gets there
Snapshots are written by a collector on a set schedule. The page displays the age of the current snapshot and the time of the next refresh. Because settled mining figures compare two snapshots, they only appear after the second run.
The visitor’s browser stores the last successful read. When the chain is unreachable, the page displays: “Could not reach z.ink, so this is still your saved data.”
According to the page code, the current version, v2, is dated Nov. 7, 2026.
Background on C4
In late May 2026, Aephia’s weekly Star Atlas newsletter reported that SAGE C4 had launched as a public test realm (PTR) on the z.ink testnet, which had gone live the previous week. The newsletter described C4 as the largest SAGE update so far.
Phase two of the PTR arrived in July 2026 and, per the newsletter, brought Combat V2, the Nemesis Engine, Cultivation Claims, regional governance, zXP support and a Goal system. Players who link their PTR account at z.ink/dashboard have their zXP tracked by C4.
The Star Atlas team built z.ink as an SVM Layer 1. The newsletter says ATMTA, the company behind Star Atlas, will set a mainnet date when phase three is ready.
Among the ships on the C4 Live map is the Gallowspine Titan. @Siphaawal wrote in a follow-up reply: “Most ships never return from the dead. But with the Gallowspine Titan…”
