Design Goals
- Cinematic, ease of use
and speed
of play
- No looking up charts
during gameplay
- d20-based system
heavily influenced by 4E innovations
- Starship counters are
of different sizes on the hex grid
- Exception-based
starship design allows for any ability without system constraint
- Starships range from
tiny fighters to gargantuan space stations; fighter squadrons launched
from capital ships
- Includes bombers and
ground defences where appropriate, as well as AWACS-style support ships
and ECM warfare
- Able to model Star Trek, Star Wars,
Battlestar Galactica and Babylon 5
- Hex maps can depict
starscapes, landscapes, or the surface of battle stations such as the Death Star
complete with operational laser turrets
- Expandable with
integrated supplements such as GROUND ATTACK!
What
does happen when a squadron
of Imperial Bombers attacks a group of WarMechs?
- HERO CARDS
allow Dark Lords, Bold Captains, Spies, Saboteurs, Legendary Engineers,
Seasoned Admirals, Plucky Pilots, and more to influence the
battle
