Star Explorer

a game of exploration and encounter in deep space

Published in 1982, Star Explorer is loosely based on Spacemen & Starships. In this game, each player assumes the role of a commander of a Space Fleet Service Battle Cruiser. Players start at a central home StarBase and must explore a given sector of the galaxy, visiting a set number of planets. Through their journeys, players must cope with hazards of space, including possibly combat with the Zangids or with space pirates. Upon arrival at each planet, players will assign investigating teams of specialists from the ship's crew to survey the planet, and will resolve the encounters those teams have on the planetary surface.
