"Star General" is a PC strategy wargame. It is one of SSI's popular hexagonal-movement games that bases its story setting on "The Fleet", a series of books written by David Drake and Bill Fawcett. The game was developed by Catware and SSI in 1997.

Star General pits up to seven alien races against one another in a galactic battle of conquest. The seven races include the deceitful Cephalians, the reptilian Dragonians, the feline Hressa, the Humans, the barbarian Khalians, the insectoid Xritra, and fascist human speratists who belong to the Schleinel Hegemony.

There are 90 different types of units, from ground forces to spaceships. Among the space vessels there a wide variety of specializations -- including mine countermeasure vessels, assault vessels, troop transports, reconnaissance, battleships, missile boats, carriers and destroyers. There is also some use of older terms of reference for classifying warships -- terms of reference that are not used in in the navies of today. One example is that the term monitor is used to specify a kind of space warship. From this, it is clear that these kinds of words have received new definitions by the time when Star General takes place. On the planetary surface, there are space docks for launching ships, mines to produce monetary units, factories to manufacture ships, and industrial plants and biodomes to support population.
