Star Conflict is a space action game from the Russian studio Star Gem, a division of Targem Games, published by Gaijin. Open beta began in 2012, version 1.0 in September 2014. You are a mercenary pilot in a remote sector full of alien ruins.
The core is team PvP between ships with distinct roles, from fast scouts to heavy frigates, with 6 to 32 pilots per side depending on the mode. There are co-op PvE missions, an open-space mode with quests, mining and crafting of modules and ships, and a Sector Conquest mode where corporations fight over territory.
Timing is what matters now: the official servers go offline on 10 October 2026. New account sign-ups were restricted in May and monetisation was switched off on 1 June. A Community Edition with a self-hosted server is planned.
