## Description
Suit up and prime your lasers, because the galaxy is in absolute shambles! Stargrave drops you into a post-apocalyptic science fiction setting where two massive empires have wiped each other out, leaving nothing but ruins and precious scraps in their wake. Now, the stars are ruled by pirates, smugglers, and scavengers all fighting to carve out their own piece of the cosmic wreckage. 

What makes this game stand out is the incredible level of customization. You aren't just commanding a faceless army; you are leading a unique crew. Whether you want to play as rogue scientists hunting for alien artifacts or a band of wanted criminals on the run, the choice is yours. The core of your crew revolves around two central figures: the Captain and the First Mate. By selecting specific backgrounds—ranging from cyborgs and robotics experts to mystics and psionics—you grant your leaders unique powers and abilities. These aren't just for show; they are vital tactical tools used during combat and can evolve as you progress through a campaign. 

Mechanically, it is a skirmish wargame that builds on the successful systems seen in Frostgrave. Expect a tactical experience driven by action point management, precise measurement-based movement, and the tension of dice rolls. It strikes a perfect balance between a tactical wargame and a character-driven RPG, where every mission feels like a new chapter in an unfolding saga. If you enjoy building custom squads, developing hero characters, and navigating diverse sci-fi scenarios, Stargrave is your perfect match.
