It had an incredibly simple system for building and handling starships and it lent itself well to campaign play. Battles are always resolved at a tactical scale on a hex-grid map, but just above the tactical level there is the system scale. Here, at the scale of an entire star system, starships maneuver to detect enemy ships and bases and then attempt to move where they will have combat to their advantage. This added "Fog Of War" makes operational level maneuver hugely important to how tactical battles play out — and often who wins.

It was contained in a plastic bag with a counter sheet, hex grid map, and a small rulebook. This edition was purely a tactical combat game but it did have ship design rules, repair rules, and was easily used for a simple campaign game by players willing to setup rules for it.

In that supplement another race was introduced, the Rigelians: a race who had perfected the fighter before anyone else and had a religious imperative to exterminate all other sentient species.

Created by David Weber, it gave players the opportunity to build empires and fight battles with resources that weren't limited solely to a single scenario. The new campaign rules greatly improved over its predecessor and included the concept of variable scale — the idea that units moved on system scale with the whole star system present, then moved into an interception scale for pre-combat manuevering, and then finally onto a tactical scale during the actual battles.

Other changes in the second edition included dropping half points of damage, including variable hull sizes, and reducing the capability of fighters. This supplement added a new race, the Empire of Gormus, a relatively peaceful democratic state of intelligent beings that made first contact with the Khanate shortly after the Khanate's demoralizing second loss to the Terrans.

The Gorm determined that they had to make a quick and decisive attack on the Khanate in order to make it too expensive for the much larger Khanate to conquer them. Create Content for your Favorite Games.
