After millions of years of conquest and evolution in space, three interplanetary races now dominate the universe. Humans, The Syndicate, and the Raddans battle for control over an overpopulating universe. Even adventurers landing on faraway planets can no longer expect solitude as life has spread throughout the universe, bringing war with it. The new frontier is the Zone of Avoidance, a shattered galaxy-turned-battleground where the three factions engage in an all-out war. Claiming a strategic stronghold in the Zone of Avoidance could tilt the balance in favor of a victor. Choose your faction, recruit your army, and make your claim to the universe.

ZoA is a PVP/PVE, Play-to-Earn, NFT-based auto battler where the universe becomes your campaign ground. Buy an NFT spaceship, fill it with heroes, and embark on a mission from the New Milky Way to the Zone of Avoidance. Explore planets, discover valuable commodities, and fight the inhabitants protecting them.

Synergize your squad, arm them with powerful items, and choose your strategic battle formation. Watch as explosive battles play out live. Upgrade your army, compete for the top spot in the ZoA online rankings, and earn galactic glory and rewards.

Zone of Avoidance is an auto-battler that pits players against enemies. Control a spaceship holding heroes, some of which can be upgraded with items. The objective is simple: beat opponents with superior tactics and abilities, collect resources, and upgrade your crew.

Spaceships, heroes, and items are connected to NFTs, allowing players to buy and sell them on marketplaces. The best heroes and items create an active economy surrounding the game. NFTs originate from Card Packs purchasable through ZoA, with rarer packs offering better chances of drawing powerful heroes.

Battles are simulated. Choose heroes and items, place them in attack and defense formations, and play PVE or PVP modes with distinct advantages and rewards. Fuel is required for battles and automatically regenerates. Once fuel runs out, players must wait for it to replenish.

The PVE game follows a loose campaign as players travel towards the Zone of Avoidance, encountering enemies of increasing difficulty. Defeat enemies for $ZOA and $ZGO tokens. Tokens can also be earned through special events, the NFT marketplace, and renting out heroes and spaceships to other players. Tokens have various use cases, including crafting, upgrades, stacking, purchasing NFTs at discounted rates, and more.

The PVP game matches players and simulates battles. Players actively oversee their attacking team while battling another player's defending team. Defending formations resolve automatically, even when players are away. Winning players earn tokens and increase their rank.

Both $ZOA and $ZGO tokens are necessary for game progression. Smaller upgrades can be completed with $ZGO, while major upgrades require $ZOA tokens. ZoA also has a governance token that unlocks benefits within the ecosystem and is required for certain ultra-Elite upgrades.
