Cloud Imperium Games, the maker of Star Citizen, is offering players the chance to buy plots of land on the planets, moons or asteroids controlled by UEE, within the game. The purpose of the land claim mechanism at this time is admitted to be for development fund raising (and to help pay for the military campaign against the Vanduul). It is noted that while they are only up for sale initially for cold hard cash, the lot claim licences will in the future be purchasable with in-game credits or some other in-game play mechanism. At the time of writing plots are not yet available to claim or purchase.
Each claim license comes with a claim beacon which, placed on the land, stores the coordinates of the land parcel you own. In the game you take the module from the placed beacon and head on over to the UEE Planetary Development office in order to execute a claim license on the designated property - as long as it doesn't encroach upon previous registered claims. A further purpose of the beacon is to monitor your land for intrusion, for weather conditions, and so on.
