Starhauler

What Starhauler Is

Turn one more trip into one more upgrade — and one more upgrade into permission to go somewhere you were not ready to go before.

Starhauler is a deep space mining RPG built around exploration, progression, discovery and the constant pull of going just a little farther than your ship was meant to survive.

Mine valuable materials. Refine and sell what you recover. Craft modules. Salvage equipment. Discover rare gear with specialised traits. Improve your ship, develop your combat capabilities, equip your pilot for increasingly hostile environments, and build a loadout designed for the part of space you are brave enough to enter.

Every expedition feeds the next.

What Is Waiting Out There

New sectors bring richer resources, harsher environments, dangerous anomalies, hostile drones, powerful guardians and advanced technology. Combat grows alongside exploration: rogue drone encounters evolve from scattered threats into coordinated ambushes, fortified formations, bombers, EMP attackers, shielded escorts and elite strike groups. Your progression matters — but so does understanding what you are flying into.

The Job Board ties the frontier together, with contracts spanning mining, exploration, scanning, refinery operations, combat and trade. As space opens up, early training work gives way to more serious opportunities.

A World That Rewards Curiosity

Ancient technology. Hazardous regions. Distant planets. Guardian caches. Rare modules. Pilot equipment. Specialised ship builds. Strange things on the edge of known space.

Starhauler is being built as a game about scale, ownership and discovery — the feeling that your ship, your equipment, your knowledge and your decisions are what let you push farther into a universe that keeps revealing new layers. What starts as a mining run can become a battle for survival. What starts as a basic ship can become something uniquely yours.

And what looks like the edge of explored space may only be the beginning.
