About Star Voyager

Star Voyager is a space combat simulation set in Spiral Galaxy IX. The player controls the pilot of the RH119, tasked with defending CosmoStation Noah from an alien siege by the Molok Wardrivers.

Gameplay involves navigating different galactic sectors to locate and engage enemy fleets. Strategic warping between these areas is challenging, as poor navigation can lead to hazardous zones like asteroid fields or result in the ship becoming lost. Managing fuel is a constant concern, with refueling possible at scattered stations.

Progression is aided by visiting planets, some of which offer equipment upgrades. These enhancements, such as a super laser or improved shields, are necessary to overcome the enemy forces. The primary objective is to protect the CosmoStation; its destruction by hostile ships ends the game.
