Speedgame

A 'speedgame is a shorter, faster game of Planetarion. Ticks usually have a set length for each game that varies from about 1 minute to 10 minutes, and lengths of speedgames vary from hours to a week. Generally, a speedgame involves a much smaller playerbase, and takes place over a weekend, sometimes with pauses to allow players to sleep or eat. Ship stats may change for speedgames, and other special rules may be in effect. For example, in one of the three speedgames between Round 12 and Round 13, it was made impossible to Defend Planets other than your own.
