Star General

The game is a turn based strategy title set in space, where players command one of seven factions, including humans and Khalians. Conflict occurs across two distinct phases: space combat for fleet engagements and planetary control, followed by ground battles using specialized troop units.

Its core mechanics are directly adapted from a historical ground warfare game, transposing terrain features like nebulas to function as spatial obstacles. Unit capabilities are defined by numerical ratings for different attack types, such as missiles and beams for ships.

Scenarios range from small scale skirmishes to large galactic conflicts on randomly generated or pre designed maps. Technological advancement is handled through a simplified research system with only four tiers, and ship designs are fixed without customization options. A notable feature is an artificial intelligence opponent that plays for complete victory rather than operating under turn limits.
