—description from the back of the box

This game uses cardboard disks as miniatures for spacecraft, and "terrain" on a tabletop without any grid for movement regulation. There are resource allocation for the use of crew, energy, shields, and other facets. Conflict resolution is dice less but damage is randomized through the use of drawn cardboard chits. Starter boxes include the vessel on the cover, control sheets, and random other terrain, scenarios, and resources.
