The Parallax is a non-interactable piece of the game world; its purpose is to provide diverse scenery for the environments encountered in-game. Every environment has an associated parallax, containing uniquely defined layers.

	The parallax seen from the player's ship is reflected based on the player's coordinates within the universe. The orbited planet will be the main planet to appear at the bottom of the screen. At the same time, neighboring celestial objects will be displayed relative to their positioning to the host planet.
	When the ship is traveling within a solar system, the parallax will reflect the movement. It displays the above animation when the ship travels to a solar system.
