BRIGHTSTAR: LAST STAND

Set 30,000 years in the future in the Cygnus Sector of the Milky Way galaxy, mankind has all but forgotten about earth and the sol system. Colonists from ancient arkships have started to reach for the stars, creating new star nations. The United System of Cygnus, or the Union, continues to expand its borders, but is being pushed back by rampant piracy on the frontier border systems. The only thing standing between order and chaos are the brave men and women of the Union Navy, tasked with holding the frontier and maintaining law and order. 

BrightStar: Last stand is an action roguelike set in the Brightstar universe. You are a Union Navy captain on the frontier with your starship in maintenance, when you are suddenly alerted to the presence of a pirate attack. With a stripped down ship, you abandon the only Union outpost in the system desperately trying to survive while gathering enough intelligence on the enemy so the relief forces stand a fighting chance.

The game is currently in development and this is a proof-of-concept prototype.
