Command a fleet across a galaxy at war. Black Stars is a real-time space strategy game built around persistent lanes: connect your worlds, commit to Assault or dig in with Fortify, and read the battlefield before it's too late. - Persistent fleet lanes link every world you hold — cut them, reroute them, or let a rear forge quietly supply a frontier bastion. - Assault produces ships and pushes fleets down open lanes. Fortify builds shields and holds your garrison in place. Override the global doctrine world by world. - Three ship types trade speed for firepower: balanced Fighters, hard-hitting Bombers, and fast Interceptors that shoot down enemy ships in transit. - Surge half a world's garrison into an overwhelming wave, then wait out the cooldown. - 72 handcrafted missions across six sectors, each with three stars to earn: victory, a perfect defense, and a par time. - A live tactical advisor tracks fleet balance, exposed worlds, and par time — advice, not autoplay. Black Stars plays fully offline, has no ads, and no subscriptions. The first 10 missions are free; a single one-time purchase unlocks the full 72-mission campaign.
