Stellar Tactics

Stellar Tactics is a role-playing game about a genetically engineered mercenary who awakens from cryostasis after their escape pod is rescued. Years have passed since a disaster struck the colony ship where they were stationed. The Phage, a disease that mutates and consumes worlds, is spreading while galactic powers fight for control. You assemble a crew, navigate political conflicts and dangerous encounters, and decide whether to ally with a political power or remain a mercenary for hire as you seek the source of the Phage and a way to stop it.

Explore the galaxy

Travel through a dynamic universe containing 10,000 sectors and over 160,000 star systems, with millions of planets to discover. You can follow the main story, accept bounties or explore freely. Scan planets for data, hidden locations, resources and valuable minerals; mining drones can harvest resources for crafting. You can also explore ancient civilizations, colonies, cave systems and ruins left by centuries of warfare.

Mine asteroids, refine ore and trade commodities on the Trade-Net. Set beacons in star systems to stream trade data and compete in the universal commodities market. Missions can take you to space stations, ancient ruins, caves and planetary bases, where you can meet characters with their own goals and objectives.

Build your crew

Recruit space mercenaries and shape them with classless progression. Characters improve skills through use, and 240 perks allow you to specialize squad members or master weapon skills. Equip your crew with gear that can be upgraded using Nano-Tech and component parts; most items can also be crafted for your crew and ships.

Turn-based combat

Direct your squad in tactical, turn-based ground battles against mutations, monsters and hostile forces, including raiders, pirates and scavengers. Each weapon has advantages and disadvantages. You can also use Psionics and the power of Azimuth, an ancient alien force.

Ships and salvage

Choose from 40 ships and customize each with equipment of different quality grades. Configure vessels for cargo, mining, exploration or combat. Your away team can disable, board and capture ships, then loot and sell them for profit.
