# Clans

Some time ago, our [Captains](https://noftgames.gitbook.io/hi/nofts#captains) started to form clans. It was a pretty rational decision, I have to say, as joining forces we can assist each other in search of [Astron](https://noftgames.gitbook.io/hi/nofts-universe-lore/astron) and more efficiently gather resources to accelerate the [Gates](https://noftgames.gitbook.io/hi/nofts-universe-lore/the-gates) construction. The clans also have higher chances to compete to be the first Gate travelers.
