"Star Hero" is a role-playing game, published by Hero Games, which uses its Fifth Edition "Hero System" rules to represent the science fiction genre. Though not nearly as popular as its "Champions", "Dark Champions", and "Fantasy Hero" lines, the genre book has been received well by fans and critics alike, and its "Terran Empire" setting has received positive reviews.

Like "Champions", "Star Hero" requires the "Hero System" rulebook to play, as the rules are pretty similar to all other games using the system, with minor alterations to facilitate such common science fiction elements as interstellar starship battles, faster-than-light travel, and alien empires.

This book was dedicated to RJM Hughes, an avid poster at the Hero Games forums, who died in August of 2002 due to complications from diabetes.

Hero Universe

The official Hero Universe setting divides the science fiction genre into five historical periods: "Solar Hero" (years 2080 to 2200), "Interstellar Hero" (2200-2300), "Alien Wars" (2300-2400), "The Terran Empire" (2400-2700), and "The Galactic Federation" (2700-3000).
