For the best experience, hit the full-screen button in the bottom-right corner and spend a lot of time zooming in and out! The fleet keeps travelling towards the last chosen destination.

NOTES AFTER UPLOAD:

It seems the fleet shader is slightly messed up on web, sorry!

To escape the galaxy you need around 500000 energy, to help you decide whether to stay in a sector or move!

This is a prototype, and in future versions you will use the energy you extract in more sophisticated ways:

For now, I hope this gives you a sense of just how large the universe really is...
