Once upon a time, Stellar Reach developer James Miller wanted the stars to move about over the course of 4X strategy game campaigns that might stretch for hundreds of years. In reality, stars are in continual motion: our Sun, for example, orbits the centre of the Milky Way galaxy, which means that right now, you and I are technically travelling at hundreds of thousands of miles an hour in the rough direction of Vega, 25 lightyears away. Eek!
