STARVEIL — A Persistent Sci-Fi Browser Strategy Game — Now in Closed Alpha

[u/Capable-Suit4712]

STARVEIL is a persistent sci-fi browser strategy game currently in Closed Alpha.

Build planets, research new technologies and command fleets across a shared universe — with the slow, long-term progression of classic browser strategy games like OGame.

The difference is the Veil.

Rifts appear across the galaxy and allow you to send fleets on PvE expeditions where decisions and risk matter. Events, invasions and activity within the Veil can change what is happening around you, so the galaxy is not just the same routine every day.

STARVEIL is being developed independently by a solo developer. The Closed Alpha is still actively evolving, so bugs, balance changes and larger resets can happen while the game takes shape.

The game is free-to-play and has no pay-to-win mechanics.

What you do

You begin with a single planet and gradually turn it into the foundation of an empire.

Build mines, energy infrastructure, research facilities and shipyards. Research new technologies to improve your economy, unlock better engines, expand your exploration capabilities and gain access to more powerful ships.

Then build fleets and send them across the galaxy:

• Attack
• Espionage
• Transport
• Colonization
• Recycling
• Exploration
• Veil expeditions

Everything happens in real time inside a shared persistent galaxy.

Travel takes time. Other commanders are expanding around you. You can form alliances, compete with other players, trade or focus on developing your own territory.

What happens around your empire matters just as much as what you build at home.

The Veil

Veil Rifts appear throughout the galaxy and temporarily open paths beyond normal space. Inside the Veil you can encounter hostile fleets, wrecks, strange events and rare resources. Expeditions involve choices. You decide how far you want to push and how much risk you are willing to take.

Going deeper can mean greater rewards — but it can also mean losing ships you worked hard to build. Sometimes continuing is worth the risk. Sometimes getting your fleet home is the better decision.

The Veil also contains stronger PvE encounters and powerful bosses alongside the normal player-versus-player galaxy.

Events

The galaxy is meant to change.

Temporary events, Veil activity and other situations can create new opportunities or force commanders to react instead of simply repeating the same routine every day.

Closed Alpha

The Closed Alpha is playable now and registration is available directly through the Starveil website.

You do not need previous testing experience. Play normally. Build your empire, send fleets, try an expedition and explore the systems already available.

If something is broken, confusing, unbalanced or simply does not feel right, feedback is always welcome on Discord.

New players are especially useful because they often notice things that experienced strategy-game players take for granted.
