Rival starship captains roam a drifting sector, chasing fame through daring jobs, profitable trade, and space battles to become a legendary pilot.

Gameplay

To score the most Fame, you roll dice to move your ship, reveal new space sectors, accept missions, buy and sell cargo, mine or salvage, and attack other ships while upgrading your vessel. Every choice is a gamble between pushing your luck for big rewards and getting stranded, fined, or blown up.
