The Rigelian Wars 2146-3705 represents the series of wars fought between the expanding Rigelian Empire and the collapsing Altair-Mizar Dynasty.
The game consists of a series of "mini-games" which are referred to as "wars". Each of these consists of an indefinite number of turns. Separating the wars are special "peace periods" during which construction of new ships and redistribution of forces takes place. The turns within the wars consist of movement and combat phases.
Rigelian Wars is an amateur early DTP (mimeograph) that contains a 4 piece (8.5 x 11) map, two strips of unmounted counters, and 6 pages of rules. Three scenarios, low-complexity, fairly standard wargame mechanics, production, warp (and hyper-warp) movement, ground units, and a Cobalt Bomb that destroys everything in the target hex!
