Territory

Next up is the Territory tab under the Claim section. You get to the Territory tab by clicking on the Claim Chest in the upper right of the main screen (Figure 67). The items located in this tab that we will talk about in this article will cost either Grade 1 Raw Isogen or Iso-Emulsion. These items that are most important are: Fortified Baakonite, Parsteel, Tritanium, and Dilithium.

This means that you will need to mine, or steal, Isogen and refine it on a regular basis to acquire Iso-Emulsion which is discussed in the Territory Tab under the Refinery section of this article.

One of the most important items in this tab, if you have the Sarcophagus ship, is the Fortified Baakonite (Figure 68). You can obtain Fortified Baakonite by purchasing it with Grade 1 Raw Isogen. This means that you will need to mine, or steal, Grade 1 Raw Isogen on a regular basis. NOTE: There is a limit to how much Fortified Baakonite you can have on hand (Figure 70).

Fortified Baakonite is very important as it is used to repair the Sarcophagus so you will want to have plenty on hand if you are actively taking or defending territories with the Sarcophagus (Figure 70). If you run out of Fortified Baakonite while the Sarcophagus is damaged or destroyed then you are stuck. You are stuck because if run out of Fortified Baakonite you cannot repair your Sarcophagus. And, when a ship is damaged or destroyed you cannot switch the ship until it is repaired. This means your dock is locked into that ship until that ship is repaired.

Some other very useful items are the Parsteel, Tritanium, and Dilithium options where you can use Iso-Emulsion to purchase these resources (Figure 69). This means that you will need to mine, or steal, Raw Isogen and refine it on a regular basis to acquire Iso-Emulsion which is discussed in the Territory Tab under the Refinery section of this article. For each of these three resources you can choose between one, two, or three-chest options; but, beware the cost of these chests increase exponentially but the rewards do not (Figure 71, Figure 72, and Figure 73). So, unless it is an emergency, purchasing the one-chest option is the best choice. Once you select an option, the reset timer is 22 hours.

Another good option, if the option is available, are the ISS Jelly blueprints. If your alliance owns a territory with ISS Jelly blueprints as a bonus, the ISS Jelly option will become available (Figure 68). This will help you obtain the ISS Jelly much faster than normal.
