Overview
Description

Star Command lets you build a fully custom interstellar vessel, choosing everything from hull shape and colors to the layout of engine rooms, medical bays, and shield generators. Every decision shapes how your crew operates and how you tackle the galaxy’s challenges. Embark on a single‑player adventure across a comedic sci‑fi universe, managing crew members, resources, and missions while exploring a rich, strategy‑driven gameplay loop on your mobile device.

StarDrive lets you start from a single planet and a handful of vessels, then explore, colonize, and battle across a procedurally generated galaxy. Every decision—from diplomacy to brute force—shapes your path to domination. Its core is a modular ship‑design system and a tactical combat engine, letting you place modules strategically, rotate ships in battle, and employ fighters, mines, and warp tactics to outmaneuver opponents.
