From the introduction:
Space is vast, inhospitable, and unforgiving, and we—
Well, we’re fragile.
So we build. Havens of metal and glass, lead-lined walls to protect us from radiation, armored shells to stop bullet-fast debris. Out here we’re on our own, and we make do with what we have. But what protects us also makes us vulnerable. When disaster strikes, when there’s nowhere to run, our shelter can become our prison. But we keep going, because we—
Well, we’re determined, too.
Starhold is a game about survival. You play a group of spacers struggling on the fringes of the last great frontier, scraping by in a cold universe. Out here even the smallest mistake can mean extinction, and help is a long, long way away. Pick your spacers, map your base, and buckle in.
This is gonna be one hell of a ride.
