A Billion Suns

A tabletop miniatures game of intense starship combat between fleets of powerful cruisers, sleek destroyers, and agile fighters.

A Billion Suns is a wargame of interstellar combat that puts you in command of fleets of powerful starships, from squadrons of agile, but fragile, fighters, to hulking and powerful capital ships. Choose your vessels from pre-existing classes then customize them to create your own sub-classes, each with their own strengths, weaknesses, and armament, from accurate torpedoes to devastating macro-cannon. Using simple dice pool mechanics, you must carefully manage your resources and seize the opportunities that come your way in order to lead your fleet to victory and assert your dominance over the stars.

• Miniatures-Agnostic:

  Players can use any miniatures or counters to represent their fleets, including models from other games or even paper templates. 
• Variable Fleets:

  Unlike many games, you don’t select a full army list in advance; instead, you spend command tokens to requisition and deploy ships as the strategic situation emerges. 
• Multiple Tables:

  The game is designed to be played across several tables simultaneously, allowing for expansive, multi-sector fleet engagements. 
• Dice Pool Mechanics:

  Simple dice pool mechanics are used for combat, with dice rolls indicating success. 
• Resource Management:

  Players must manage “CMD tokens” for deployment, command, and tactical advantages to outmaneuver their opponents and achieve victory. 
• Objective-Driven:

  Success relies on completing objectives and managing contracts, not just destroying the opponent’s fleet.
