Introducing Starlorn: A Modern Tribute to Classic Space Trading Games! Hey, space explorers and fellow gamers!
My name's Trekkan (aka Troy), and if youāve ever played *7 Days to Die* on the BIA servers, you might know me as the creator of the **RAT server manager software** used by Riggs. Today, Iām thrilled to share something *really* exciting: my very first video game, and Iād love for YOU to be a part of its journey.
What is Starlorn: Rise of the Awakened?Imagine stepping into a universe inspired by the legendary BBS games of the pre-1994 era, like *Trade Wars* and *Ultimate Universe*. If those names ring a bell, youāre in for a nostalgic treat. And if they donāt, *Starlorn* is your chance to experience the magic of classic space trading gamesāreimagined for a **24/7 multiplayer world!**
Think *Eve Online*, but simpler, more accessible, and **text/2D-based**. Itās a game where youāre the captain of a ship hired by the **Sector Governance Corps (SGC)** to battle the **The Codebound**āa faction threatening to dominate the universeāall while amassing wealth, power, and influence. And how you use that wealth and power? Thatās entirely up to you.
Key Features of Starlorn: Rise of the Awakenedš Outfit Your Ship

Terraform and Defend PlanetsTurn barren worlds into resource-rich powerhouses. But bewareāother players can **steal your resources** if you donāt defend them with cunning strategies and devices.

š Discover Specialty Ports
The first 10 sectors feature **Federation Specialty Ports** that offer essential services like buying attack drones, refueling, upgrading your ship, and even rescuing you if youāre stranded (for a price, of course!).
Watch Out for CremlinsPick up these mischievous stowaways, and youāll need to visit the **Galactic Teamsters** to deal with them.
