In a galaxy torn apart by the Last War, vast pirate fleets roam
from system to system, robbing, extorting, and enslaving. Amidst
this chaos, thousands of independent operators - smugglers, relic
hunters, freedom fighters, and mercenaries - roam the dead stars in
small ships, scratching out a living any way they can. In
Stargrave, players take on the role of one of these independent
operators, choosing from a range of backgrounds each with their own
strengths, weaknesses, and associated powers. Next, players must
hire a crew for their ship, recruiting a lieutenant with a unique
skill-set and a handful of soldiers, mechanics, hackers, and other
specialists. Some captains may even recruit strange alien lifeforms
with abilities no humanoid could ever possess. Once the players'
crews are assembled, they are ready to dive into a campaign. Over a
series of games, their crews will have the chance to carry out a
variety of missions - recovering lost technology, stealing data,
freeing slaves, and fighting back against the pirate fleets. In
time, as the crews gain experience, they will become more powerful
and hire more talented specialists. The more they grow, however,
the more likely it is that a pirate fleet will take note of their
activities and come after them!
A Billion Suns is a wargame of interstellar combat that puts you in
command of fleets of powerful starships, from squadrons of agile,
but fragile, fighters, to hulking and powerful capital ships.
Choose your vessels from pre-existing classes then customise them
to create your own sub-classes, each with their own strengths,
weaknesses, and armament, from accurate torpedoes to devastating
macro-cannon. Using simple dice pool mechanics, you must carefully
manage your resources and seize the opportunities that come your
way in order to lead your fleet to victory and assert your
dominance over the stars.
