Star Fleet Battles: Advanced Missions

About this expansion

Star Fleet Battles: Advanced Missions is a strategic space-combat game for 2–12 players, with sessions lasting about 240 minutes. Released in 1990, it is part of the Star Fleet Battles Captain’s Edition line and expands the game system with new rules, ships, scenarios, and campaign possibilities.

Advanced Missions adds greater detail to maneuvering and combat. Nimble ships can make mid-turn speed changes and dock at bases, while catastrophic damage, tactical intelligence, surprise, and passive fire control introduce additional combat considerations.

The expanded arsenal includes advanced drones, the deadly mauler, and the rapid-fire plasma rack. New systems and special elements include super computers, mine fields, elite crew, and legendary officers, offering more ways to shape a battle or campaign.

• 20 new scenarios and campaigns
• More than 100 new ships
• New hazards including gravity waves, ion storms, and supernovae
• Three new monsters
• Rules for advanced weapons, combat effects, and ship systems

The latest edition includes a 192-page Captain’s Advanced Missions Rulebook from 1999, 216 die-cut multi-color playing pieces, and a 144-page SSD Book containing charts and tables from 2003. Together, these components support the expanded rules and extensive ship content.

For players seeking a deeper Star Fleet Battles experience, Star Fleet Battles: Advanced Missions combines tactical space combat with hazardous environments, specialized systems, and a broad selection of new missions for extended galactic campaigns.
