What is Void Captains?

Void Captains is a roguelike collectible-card territory-control game set in the void between dying stars. It blends three genres that don't usually meet:

• Card-driven ship combat — 129 unique cards across 5 rarities (common → legendary), 4 alien factions, per-run collection, forge merges, and premium card packs.
• Territory-control campaign map — a fleet moves 1 planet per turn across procedurally-generated star sectors. Enemy fleets attack your worlds and you defend in real card combat.
• Roguelike pirate hideout runs — chain 2-4 pirate encounters in a row, hull carries over, one loss ends the raid. High risk, high reward, unique loot per tier.

Features

• 4 alien factions — Solar Concord (humans), Crimson Hegemony (Vargari warlords), Obsidian Syndicate (Veylkin insectoids), and Verdant Collective (Mycel hive-consciousness — Stars Reforged only)
• 3D combat scenes — Three.js real-time ship rendering, subsystem targeting (weapons, shields, engines, reactor), and cinematic camera
• Fleet-based conquest — one move per turn, real defense combat when enemies attack your planets, planet events, and 4-tier pirate hideouts
• 4 difficulty tiers — Easy, Medium, Hard, Hellscape — each unlocked by winning the previous
• 16 medals — 4 per faction, each granting a permanent passive bonus that stacks across runs
• Deep deck builder — search, filter by rarity/type/cost, mana curve display, hover tooltips, auto-build, and a merge/sell forge
• Card pack shop — 3 pack tiers, cross-faction artifact drops, credit + diamond dual currency
