Welcome aboard and congratulations on your promotion! Your ‘new’ spaceship is ready to embark on its first great voyage. You’ll need to remove a bit of rust, but otherwise your spacecraft is in fine shape. And the crew? They may seem a bit inexperienced, but from now on, this is your team. Make us proud! The stars are calling… great adventures await you! The players are newly promoted Starship Captains, in command of their first spaceship. They are highly motivated to prove themselves in a galaxy full of space pirates, ancient androids and artefacts, and they are eager to experience adventures amongst the planets. This game for 1 to 4 players combines engine building and action selection. You lead a team of cadets, ensigns, androids and officers – each with different special roles and traits. By earning medals, you can promote and train your crew to make them even more effective. You can also upgrade your ship through engine building. Together with your improved crew members and your ship, you’ll explore an ever-changing galaxy full of dangerous pirates and interplanetary missions to strengthen your reputation and receive rewards.Do you have what it takes to train your crew well and become the best captain in the universe?
