Welcome!

Welcome to Stars!wiki, a resource for and by Stars! players.

Stars! is a turn-based, multi-player strategy game that has been around for over 10 years and still has a loyal following.

A wiki is basically a web site that anyone can edit. The policy for this wiki requires all editors to be registered. Right now, anyone can register, but that may change if wiki vandalism becomes a problem. By making this site a wiki, we hope that we can encourage the Stars! player community to contribute and make this the ultimate resource for Stars! knowledge.

Editing

For now there is much work to do before this becomes a really useful resource. Helping hands are always welcome. If you wish to help, find a section that needs a bit of work or a page that needs writing (red links) and go for it. Here is a list of pages that have been linked to but not written yet. You will need to register before you can edit any pages. When you do, please use the same username that you use at Stars! Autohost Home World Forum. If you're not registered at HWF, I recommend it. If registrations become a problem they will be restricted.

For help on editing pages, please look here. If you want to practice, try the sandbox or test page. Please also read Stars!wiki:policies for guidelines on creating and using articles, templates, categories, interwiki linking and general stuff.

Contents

The wiki already contains a significant amount of material. The most important pages are included in the navigation bar on the left of the page.

If you are new to Stars!, you might want to check out the frequently asked questions. This has been built up over a number of years, and while it is far from perfect it is a great place to start.

After the FAQ, the next place to look for tips from the experts is the article library.

If you are wondering what all those cryptic abbreviations are about, you can find definitions for them at the abbreviations page. Other cryptic terms are defined in the glossary.

There is also a list of all pages if you want to see what is available, or you can jump to a random page.

The fight between the Saxons and the Epworthians in an actual Stars! game. This war featured a large advantage in technology, fleet strength, resources, allies, strategic initiative, and surprise -- all in favor of the Epworthians. Nevertheless it resulted in a decisive Saxon victory after 30 years of intense battle. This fight is rich in examples of the importance of operational factors in Stars! war.
