Who the Heck are These Guys?
 Can we ask you to keep a secret? The designer and publisher of Federation Commander
also created another game called Star Fleet Battles. That game has been in print
for three decades and is the best-selling starship combat game of all time. It is also much
more complicated than Federation Commander, although some people really like it despite
its thousands of pages of rules. That game includes many space empires with different
weapons and systems. Until the publication of future Federation Commander products
such as Distant Kingdoms, these empires, ships, and weapons are not available to
players of Federation Commander. To give you a preview of them (and help veterans of
Star Fleet Battles transition to the new game system) we published Booster Zero with one
ship and a few weapons from these empires.

New Empires: Lyrans (Lynx-humanoids, Klingon allies against the Kzintis); Hydrans (methane-breathing tripeds constantly
at war with the Klingons); ISC (aloof an enigmatic; they think everyone else is insane); WYN Cluster (a tiny enclave filled
