A frontier at the edge of known space.
Three civilizations. One shattered star-forge. And something in the dark that has been waiting a very long time to eat the light. This is the story of the Star Seekers universe.
The Beacon
An ancient star-forge, built by a civilization older than every faction. The Vaari used it to seal away a void intelligence that devours stars. For eons, it held.
The Fracture
The Beacon shattered. Its wake carved a debris zone of broken worlds across the Reaches. For a thousand years, the Fracture was dead rock.
The Pulse & the Ember Bloom
One night the shards lit up, bright enough to be seen from three civilizations. Every faction sent its fleet. Over Halden's Drift, somebody fired on a shard. It bloomed: a sphere of fire that burned for eleven minutes and erased three fleets at once.
STAR SEEKERS: SHARD WAR
The Shard War
The survivors, human, reptilian and spirit, band together as the Ashwing. A warlord falls mid-battle. A world burns. And near the shards, every captain hears the Whisper, promising victory. The war was never an accident.
STAR SEEKERS: SHARD WAR
The Accord of Ashes
Forge, Drakari and Vaari sign the peace, named after the fleet that proved it could be done. The Lanegates are built. The Shroud Reaches are sealed, abandoned and forgotten.
The shards wake again
Salvage runner Vex Kaine intercepts a dying transmission: coordinates to the first Beacon Shard. Every shard that wakes also stirs the Hollow. The race is on.
STAR SEEKERS 2
“It doesn't need to fight anyone. War burns shard energy faster than anything else. So it whispers, and the war keeps going.”
THE HOLLOW IS LISTENING.
Your weapons have names.
When the first Beacon Shard detonates, three war fleets die in eleven minutes. Pick up anyone still breathing. Every pilot you rescue flies beside you as a weapon. Reshape your fleet, fuse rival ships into capital ships, and outlive the bloodiest war in history.
Build a fleet, not a gun
Twelve wingmen from three factions. Each pilot fires differently, and each one you rescue joins your formation.
Spear · Ring · Wake
Tap to reshape your fleet. Focus fire forward, guard every side, or trail behind you like a snake.
Concord Fusions
Max out two pilots from rival factions and they fuse into one capital ship. Six fusions to discover.
Save your wingmen
Shot-down pilots drift as escape pods. You've got eight seconds to reach them, or they're gone for the run.
50 Shard Echoes
Hand-made challenge levels with three stars each. Visions of a war that hasn't happened yet.
Daily Sortie
Same seed for everyone, one scored attempt, global Game Center leaderboard. Plus Endless and Khar Oaths.
Four captains. One ragtag fleet.
Lyra Nevis
A cocky 22-year-old test pilot. The first captain to pick up a pod that wasn't Forge.
Kesh Varr
His whole brood died in the Ember Bloom. He swore the Khar Oath to protect the Ashwing instead.
Ilun
Half-light, cut off from the collective. Hears the shards, and hears the Whisper loudest of all.
Sable Orrin
A Forge deserter who listened too long. Half of him belongs to the Hollow now.
The war, act by act.

THE VERDANT THRONEKharos Burns
The Khar do not break.
Defend a dying world beside the titan-ship The Unbroken against a planet-cracking dreadnought.
VERDICTThe Hush
The quiet is listening.
Where light dies and sound stops. Three monolith-ships linked by white beams. Break the links.
THE SILENT CHOIRThe Beacon's Heart
Everyone. Together. Now.
Every faction flies on the same side for the first time, against a Herald of the Hollow.
THE MAW OF NOTHINGThree factions, wing to wing.

AETHONFrequently asked questions
What is Star Seekers?
Star Seekers is a series of space shooter games for iPhone by PG App Studios, set in an original universe called the Shroud Reaches. There are two games: Star Seekers: Shard War, a fleet-survivor roguelite, and Star Seekers 2, a 100-level campaign with a boss at the end of every level.
Which game should I play first?
Either works. Shard War is the prequel and tells the story of the Shard War. Star Seekers 2 takes place twenty years later. Playing Shard War first shows you how the Hollow and the Beacon Shards became a threat.
Are the games free?
Yes, both are free to download. In Shard War, Act 1, the captain Lyra Nevis and 10 Shard Echoes are free, and one purchase unlocks the full war. In Star Seekers 2, every ship can be earned by playing, and optional credit packs let you go faster.
Do the games have ads?
No. Neither Star Seekers game shows ads, has energy timers or tracks you across other apps.
Which devices are supported?
Both games are made for iPhone and also run on iPad. They use simple one-thumb controls: touch to fly while your ships fire on their own.
What's the difference between the two games?
Shard War is a roguelite. You build a fleet of rescued wingmen in 10-minute runs, switch formations and fuse ships. Star Seekers 2 is a classic level-by-level shooter with 100 levels, 12 ships to unlock, upgrades and global leaderboards.
