Darkstar: Tactical Starship Combat in the 26th Century

Darkstar is a tactical war game postulating naval combat in a "science faction" universe set five centuries into a troubled and uncertain future. Players take command of warships serving in the new "black water" navies of reborn empires of old, struggling for control of shipping lanes, resources, and colonies. Ships maneuver and fire in fast-paced combat, with survival not only of the players' fleets at stake, but perhaps their nation and all of humanity as well.
