Halcyon 6: Starbase Commander was a passion project who's design was inspired by our years spent playing classic games like Star Control, Master of Orion, X-COM, Civilization and of course, rogue-like games like FTL and Starbound. The goal for Halcyon 6 was based on building core design and gameplay elements that makes a great sci-fi story: characters, with distinct skills and personalities, working with the community to accomplish a difficult, meaningful goal.
On the edge of Terran space lies Halcyon 6, a derelict starbase left behind by a mysterious precursor race. Your mission is to reclaim the derelict station and rebuild it. A mysterious alien force is making a beeline towards Earth and this Starbase is the best chance for the Terran Republic to establish new alliances, research new Technologies and otherwise figure out a way to stop the impending invasion. Using only the Resources you can salvage from the derelict station and raw materials mined from nearby asteroids, it’s up to you to rebuild the starbase to lead the Terran Republic’s scientific research, exploration and diplomatic efforts on the edge of known space.
Halcyon 6: Starbase Commander was developed prior to Halcyon 6: Lightspeed Edition and these distinctive games should not be confused.
