Added DiffLines:
A standalone expansion for the Space War themed DeckBuildingGame ''TabletopGame/StarRealms''. Released on shelves on October 2018, the game is set in a new area of space following the events of the ''Unity'' expansion.
Centuries before the Blob invasion, the Trade Federation experimented with Warp Gate technology. With initial success a Colony Fleet sent through the experimental gateway. But the Fleet never arrived. An investigation showed that repeated use of the Gate creates "space-time fractures", resulting in failure. With many lives and wealth apparently lost, the experiment ended.
In the present, The Trade Federation is displeased with how the ''Colony Wars'' has turned out. They reinvest into the old experimental warp tech, and finally figure out how to use it safely. Far from the other factions, the Federation is able to expand into new worlds.
But spies got a hold of the new warp technology, selling it to the other factions. Now the Factions are once again racing to secure a position in this new frontier.
Part of a very successful Kickstarter campaign, ''Frontiers'' is the first set of nine to be produced. The other forthcoming expansions include:
* ''Stellar Allies'', a booster pack of twelve multifaction cards.
* ''Command Decks'', similar to ''TabletopGame/HeroRealms'' Character Packs. Here, a Player takes command of one of the Multifaction Commanders and their forces. Along with the already established Unity, Union, Alliance, and Coalition groups, there are two new factions. The Federation/Blob ''Pact'', and The Empire/Cult ''Alignment''.
* ''The Lost Fleet'', a Command Pack featuring the newly introduced group.
''Frontiers'' can be played by itself, or integrated with previous ''Star Realms'' sets.
----
!! ''Star Realms Frontiers'' provide examples of:
* AllThereInTheManual: The Manual for ''Frontiers'' contains the backstory of the Major Factions, as well as an introduction to each of the Challenges. The Kickstarter page explains the backstory of the ''Frontier'' set itself.
* EldritchAbomination: The Dimensional Horror challenge. An extra-dimensional tentacled nightmare, it found our way into our universe as a result of the earlier failed Warp gate experiment.
* TheFundamentalist: The Machine Cult forces in the Madness of the Machine challenge. Usually the Cult isn't this fanatical. But due to previous damage, one Brain World has gone a bit extreme. The supercomputer believes everyone must convert to the Cult or die.
* SoloTabletopGame: Right off the bat, the game includes several extra-sized solo/co-op Challenge cards. In addition to the mega-sized Pirates of the Dark Star and Nemesis Beast, there are two new enemies to beat. Four of the Challenges are Faction specific, where the player must struggle against one of the Major Powers.
