The Pitch
You are a Freeport captain.
You’ve got your contracts to fulfill, and you aim to — while the money is good. Unfortunately others feel the same way. That’s why you’ve built your starship the way you have. You won’t be beat.
…in a fast action space duel
Hollowstar is a card game set in Tau Averni, a lucrative but unforgiving galaxy. At its heart is a fast, two-player duel — a trade of fire and counter-fire that starts at full strength from turn one.
Every action on every turn is a puzzle: how do you push your custom starship’s reactor to its absolute limit this turn, and out-manoeuvre the pilot across from you?
Your ship
Your hot rod
Choose a ship, set its disciplines and select your systems and forty-card deck. Build around quick attacks, durable defenses or a heavy weapon that rewards preparation.

Set 01 · Alpha Carinae
A boom town where the war is over scrap.
A debris field the size of a moon drifts into a forgotten system, and every freelancer in the sector comes running. The salvage is good, fast, and lucrative.
Then the pieces start coming back wrong — mass that won’t settle, a clock that runs slow, fragments that match no human foundry. And out past the marked zone sits the thing none of the instruments can read.
NRC-9 · the exclusion zone
Every probe pointed at it comes back null. Not noise. Not error. Just nothing — as if the instrument never looked.
The ships that ignore the marking don’t come back.
Five action points.
Make every one count.
Two ships go out. One comes back with the cargo.
