Universe

Universe is the root container of the X4 galaxy. There is one universe per save — referenced as player.galaxy from MD/aiscript.

Hierarchy

Universe (player.galaxy)
└── Cluster (cluster.*)
    └── Sector (cluster.*.sector*)
        └── Zone (sector.*.zone*)
            └── Component (ships, stations, items, etc.)

Common access

<find_sector name="$X" space="player.galaxy" macro="..."/>
<find_object name="$Y" space="player.galaxy" macro="..."/>

Macro check (universe variant)

Most arcs check the universe macro for main-galaxy filtering:

<check_value value="player.galaxy.macro == macro.xu_ep2_universe_macro"/>

The macro.xu_ep2_universe_macro is the main galaxy (Pirate DLC). Scenario games (Timelines) use different universe macros.
