📖 About This Game

This game is based upon C. J. Cherryh's Hugo winning Downbelow Station novel. It uses area like movement between jump points for starships to move around a map of explored space. Conflict can either be resolved strategically or in an optional tactical hex and counter method. The game's victory is determined on how many supplies can be delivered or enemy destroyed.
