Six years in the making and designed and engineered by industry veteran, Don Wilkins, whose previous credentials include work on Wizardry, Arcanum, Tribes and the Hobbit among others, Stellar Tactics challenges you to assemble your team, equip your ship and explore a vast and dangerous universe.

Stellar Tactics tells the story of a parallel warring species of human beings, genetic mutation, ancient alien civilizations, unprecedented power and hope. You play an elite warrior genetically modified, bred for warfare. You and your team will wake to investigate an occurrence on one of the ships that carry the remnants of your people, suspended in a deep sleep for the long sub-light journey. Your deeds will change the destiny of those you protect, and your actions will reflect in the events that unfold as you reach your destination and you are unleashed into the void.

Stellar Tactics comes with a compelling narrative of finely crafted lore specifically designed to mesh with an open-ended sandbox RPG. Designed to entertain for years to come with episodic content spanning thousands of star systems with story and immersion, the game currently has more than 200,000 solar systems and millions of planets to discover. Spend countless hours exploring, fighting, trading and building a party of seasoned veterans ready for action.

Well, it's finally that time. After lots of testing, late nights, early mornings and over six years of obsessive attention to detail, Stellar Tactics is ready for Early Access. Stellar Tactics is a complicated game with many of the core role playing systems you would expect in a classic RPG. It's more though. It combines traditional space exploration, trading, space ships and progression with deep party based RPG mechanics.

What's next? I expect I'll be fixing bugs for the next few weeks. I'll be fixing things that I missed and issues that different play styles bring to the surface. After that it's all about Alpha. I'll be working hard to finalize space combat, generating content for exploration missions and following the road-map posted on the forums.

I'd like to thank each and everyone one of you for your interest in Stellar Tactics. I know you have many games to choose from. I'm going to work hard to make this game the best it can be.

If you want to help support Stellar Tactics, tell, your friends, family and people you don't even know.
