Starlathe
Command your ship and fleet in a galaxy that truly lives: 150 sectors where six factions mine, haul, trade, build and wage war whether you're there or not. Trade it, rob it, defend it — or forge your own fleet and carve out your place in it.
A galaxy that doesn't wait for you
Starlathe is a 2D top-down space sim where the galaxy runs for real. Miners cut ore from asteroid fields, transporters haul goods between stations, factories consume and produce, War Fleets clash over territory — all simulated live across 150 sectors, whether you're watching or not. Nothing is faked, nothing spawns from thin air: every shipment travels, every ship flies, every wreck was someone's ship.
Earn your place
Start with a small ship and choose your path:
Mine asteroid fields and refine your ore into something worth more
Trade across a real supply chain of over 50 goods — buy where it's cheap, haul it where it's needed
Fight — hunt pirates for factions, or become the pirate yourself and live with your reputation
Craft weapons, modules and ships through refining, components and full production chains
Build and command your own fleet
Buy ships, assign them roles, and put them to work: your own miners feeding your income, transporters running your routes, escorts guarding your convoys — up to a dreadnought flagship leading your battle line. Fleet battles are fought ship to ship with turrets, rockets, beams and point defense, not dice rolls.
A galaxy with consequences
Stations die for real — evacuations, wrecks, loot fields — and factions rebuild them. Territory changes hands. Prices react to real supply and demand. The law notices smuggling and piracy. Your reputation follows you.
Explore the unknown
Fog of war hides the galaxy until you chart it. Find ship graveyards, abandoned sectors, wild space beyond the gates — and 22 skies to fly under.
