This is an odd early hybrid that is a Board Game with some light RPG elements. The idea seems to be to plug it into the actual RPG Starships and Spacemen. Much alin to how Knight Hawks plugs into Star Frontiers. But is also a standalone space battle board game/wargame.
The system is actually fairly solid and it really shines in the space exploration department and one could say each character is the starship really. You travel about trying to get various tasks done and trying to solve any problems that arise either in transit or at the planet you are headed to.
One major bonus is that the game can be played solo.
