›Story

After a catastrophe on Earth, humanity launches the Starmancer Initiative in a desperate attempt to seek refuge among the stars. Your task as a Starmancer is to construct and manage a colony capable of sustaining human life.

A tragedy on Earth forced humanity to the stars. You awake in a damaged Ark and find yourself in a strange solar system populated with other factions that have formed alliances, colonized worlds, and developed new technologies.

Starmancer places you in the middle of a real world, where your actions impact the universe, and where your station will have its own story. Trade with other factions, perform missions, and repel invaders. Your playthrough will create a unique story to you, and you alone.
