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 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

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. There is also a list of things to do. 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.

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.
