THE GALAXY IS IN RUINS
The stars are dying, the gods are silent, and the empires that once ruled the galaxy have crumbled into ash and echoes.
Across a fractured void of decaying worlds and haunted relics, scattered fireteams carry out the final orders of long-dead masters.
There is no hope of victory - only duty and the bitter certainty that each mission may be the last.
In the shadows of ancient horrors and cursed machines, elite squads wage desperate black ops in a war that has lost all meaning... but not all purpose.
Welcome to Ruinstars - where only ruins remain, and only war endures.
WHAT IS THIS GAME?
Ruinstars is a fast-paced, miniatures-agnostic, open-source tabletop skirmish game set during the final age of the galaxy. Players command small, hardened squads in high-lethality black ops missions across fractured star-systems.
