A downloadable game

The galaxy doesn’t care who you are—only what you’re hauling, who you owe, and whether your jump drive still works.

Star Hauler puts you in the flight seat of an independent pilot navigating open space, corporate intrigue, and shifting faction politics. Will you run weapons to rebel outposts, chase salvage in derelict systems, or ferry data across hostile territory for a shot at profit?

Built on a stripped-down, pressure-driven engine, every skill check wears you down. Your ship strains under each maneuver, your credits bleed away at every port, and docking to refit might cost you more than you gain. But out here, that’s the job.

Trade, explore, smuggle, fight.
Make deals, make enemies, make it back in one piece.

Star Hauler supports solo and group play, features dynamic sector generation, evolving system tags, faction reputation, and a full economic upgrade loop.

You don’t need a fleet.
Just a name, a ship, and a reason to fly.

Where do I find the Beyond the Void expansion?

It’s coming in the next weeks/months. Draft is complete, but my typesetting queue is quite packed

Is there meant to be a character and/or ship sheet?

not for now I’m afraid

Great idea and execution with the Breathless SRD. A few pieces of text refer to a Risk Oracle but I don't see the mechanic defined anywhere. Is the intention that the Risk Oracle is a Check?

I saw this in the credits…

This game uses mechanics based off the Oracles Gasp, designed by René-Pier Deshaies-Gélinas of Fari RPGs.

…so I looked that up, and I see a Risk Oracle here: https://keeper.farirpgs.com/resources/fari-rpgs/breathless/the-oracles/

Indeed it was a typo, a remnant of the first version of the game that as Ed Brannin pointed out comes from the Oracle of Fari Games

I’ve just released the fixed version
