Between the Stars News

Greetings, Captains!

The final version of Between the Stars is here, and with it comes some new additions. We have also fixed some outstanding bugs, so this will be the most polished experience of the game.

The full campaign features over 160 main events, but also over 200 side quests. You have 25 ships to choose from, and you can customize them with the numerous available weapons and abilities.

The final moment has arrived: rise up against the Children of the Sun and save the galaxy!
