About Starbase Tycoon
Build a starbase at the edge of the galaxy.
Take command of your own starbase. Start with a lonely docking ring in the dark between stars, then build reactors, gardens, quarters, bars and science labs.
Welcome freighters, liners and pilgrims, recruit a crew of nine alien species, fight off raiders and grow a sleepy outpost into the busiest port in the sector.
