About the Game

In Star Journey, you are the captain of a crewed starship caught in a war between the United Worlds and the Neo Terrans.

Travel a living starmap of claimed worlds, hostile fleets, neutral powers, spaceports, unexplored systems, and dangerous anomalies. Take command from inside your ship: pilot through space, raise shields, fire torpedoes, manage power, repair hull damage, consult your officers, and decide where your crew goes next.

The frontier is full of incidents waiting for a captain’s judgment. Rescue stranded survey teams, investigate suspicious distress beacons, uncover ancient probes, stabilize unstable anomalies, make first contact with new civilizations, and decide whether defecting enemy captains deserve asylum. Some missions lead to diplomacy. Some lead to discovery. Some are traps.

Beyond the bridge, the war continues. Factions move fleets, defend homeworlds, patrol borders, capture systems, repair damaged ships, and lose captains. Your actions leave a persistent mark: ships are damaged or destroyed, passengers come aboard, prisoners are held, discoveries are recorded, and explored systems remain explored.
