First, I'll answer the question - "What is Starfire?". Well, for a start, it has NOTHING to do with religion (unlike most of the "Starfire" sites out there).

Starfire is a Tactical/Strategic game, based in space. There are a number of rulebooks available (from Starfire Design Studio, or SDS) that covers both the Tactical and Strategic side of things (Revised 3rd Edition Starfire ("R3rd ed") [3rd Edition tactical rules], Imperial Starfire ("ISF") [3rd Edition strategic rules] and Galactic Starfire ("GSF") [4th Edition tactical/strategic rules].

As this is a game based apon running an empire, and meeting (and "greeting") the various alien races found in space, naturally enough some of the players have decided to write articles detailing what has happened in their universe.

At the present, Starfire is up to its 4th edition (GSF). One of the people involved quite heavily in writing the strategic rules (ISF) was David Weber. He has written 4 novels (to date) based in the Starfire Universe. They are (in order of date written) Crusade, Insurrection, In Death Ground and one more just released, The Shiva Option. The books are well written, and more can be found out about David Weber from his publishers website - Baen Books.

The articles are typically posted at the Starfire Mailing List (for instructions on how to join the Mailing List, see the Mailing List page), but I have decided to collect them and post them on a website. At the moment only a small proportion of the stories are published here, but give me time.....
