Below the Star Map the screen shows how much time is left until update, and whether or not you are ready for an update. Pushing the ready button signals to the game that you are ready for an update. When all players remaining the game have pushed this button, the turn will end early, even if there is still time left before when the update is scheduled.

Next is the Fleets table. It shows all the fleets that you control. It does not show fleets controlled by other players. Fleets created this turn can be cancelled. Once there has been an update, fleets can no longer be cancelled or changed in any other way. They will arrive at the destination on the scheduled turn.

Now let's create a fleet.
