Welcome!

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

(From RGCS): Stars! is an Advanced, Interstellar, Turn Based Strategy Game and a member of 4x genre (eXplore, eXpand, eXploit, eXterminate) of PC games. It was written by Jeff Johnson and Jeff McBride with help from Jeffrey Krauss (collectively known as the Jeffs). Written in response to finding a distinct lack of quality games in the genre, it was truly a game ahead of its time. It is by far one of the most strategically in-depth and balanced games in existence. It has kept people addicted for years, and still supports a loyal player community.

A wiki is a web site that anyone can edit. Helping hands are always welcome. Icon smile.gif To register as an editor contact one of the wiki admins at the forum then find a section that needs a bit of work or a page that needs writing (red links, wanted pages or our list of things to do) and go for it. For help on editing pages, please look here. If you want to practice, try the sandbox . Please also read Stars!wiki:policies for guidelines on creating and using articles, templates, categories, interwiki linking and general stuff.

Featured Article

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.
