Star Frontiers is a
sci-fi game produced by
TSR during the
1980s. The game was generic to a point but came with its own definite background. The game never really rivaled
Traveller although Star Frontiers did pick up a dedicated following of people who preferred its "space opera" feel to the hard science of
Traveller.
Players were expected to be "space cops" fighting the aggressive incursions of the alien race known as the Slather.
