This section covers installation, configuration, operation, maintenance, and recovery for system operators.

== Installation and operation ==
* [[Installing Galactic Empire]]
* [[ge-next installation]]
* [[Running Galactic Empire with MBBSEmu]]
* [[Classic registration and security system]]
* [[Database files|Database files, backups, and upgrades]]

== Configuration ==
* [[Configuring Galactic Empire]] — files, compilation, and safe customization
* [[Main configuration reference|Main configuration reference]]
* [[Item and equipment configuration]]
* [[MBMGEMSG.MSG|Classic main MSG file]]
* [[Ship class configuration]]
* [[Galaxy configuration]]
* [[Sys command]]

== Operational priorities ==
Keep executable, compiled messages, class table, and persistent structures at the same release. Back up related databases as a consistent set. Treat insert, update, delete, record-size, and message-ID errors as integrity problems rather than harmless log noise.

Test cleanup as well as startup. GE relies on recurring host callbacks and nightly lifecycle transitions, so a module that accepts commands immediately after loading is not yet fully verified.

== Scope ==
Configuration articles identify whether they apply to classic, ge-next, ge-arena, 16-bit, or 32-bit builds. Stock values are examples, because GE has always permitted substantial sysop customization.
