Stellar Edge is a battle-scale tabletop miniatures game where command isn’t just about strategy—it’s about survival. From sabotage operations to full-scale planetary assaults, players take control of elite forces in a struggle for the future of humanity
Humanity pushed beyond the cradle of Earth, carrying its ingenuity and its ghosts into the void. The stars are not a fresh start. They are a new theater of war.
The galaxy stands on the edge, its fragile peace maintained by backroom deals, covert strikes, and the careful application of force. Governments, corporate empires, and clandestine organizations maneuver in the dark, waging wars that will never make the headlines. Some battles are fought in the halls of power, others in the silence of space, and when diplomacy fails, boots hit the ground.
Stellar Edge is a battle-scale tabletop miniatures game where command is about strategy and survival. From sabotage operations to full-scale planetary assaults, players take control of elite forces in a struggle for the future of humanity. Across a dozen star systems and hundreds of contested worlds, alliances will be tested, and wars will be won, not by those who hesitate, but by those who strike first.
With Stellar Edge, we’re putting the power directly in your hands. We believe it’s time to embrace modern technology and give players full control over their hobby. It doesn't make sense to pay high premiums for plastic miniatures when you have the option to print them at home with a 3D printer. When you support Stellar Edge, you’re investing in unit design, art, world-building, rules, and game systems, not in overpriced plastic.
We’ve built an intuitive app that provides everything you need: rules, lore, scenarios, unit details, and an army builder to help you craft the perfect force for your strategy. Whether you’re a seasoned general or new to war gaming, the app makes it simple to dive in and start playing immediately.
All our models are provided as .stl files, giving you the freedom to download, print, and expand your collection as much as you like. All of our models are pre-supported and tested on common consumer printers to make your prints as easy and reliable as possible. And if you don’t have access to a 3D printer, no problem, our partnerships with print-on-demand services, integrated directly through the app, allow you to easily order high-quality prints of any models you need. You are of course free to get the models printed at any other print service you like, you're not locked into using our partners.
With Stellar Edge, we want to change how we all think about table top war gaming. We believe it's time to embrace new technology and give players control of their hobby.

In the vast reaches of space, the Alliance of Democratic Nations' military stands as the ultimate shield and sword of liberty. Renowned for their rigorous training and unmatched discipline, ADN troops are the pinnacle of professionalism, equipped with cutting-edge technology that gives them a decisive edge in any engagement. Each soldier is a master of their craft, operating state-of-the-art weapons systems and vehicles that embody the pinnacle of human innovation. With a fighting doctrine built on speed, precision, and overwhelming force, the ADN military strikes with surgical aggression, swiftly dismantling enemy defenses and dominating the battlefield before adversaries can react.
Whether deploying elite rapid-response units to neutralize threats or commanding fleet operations that extend the ADN's reach across the stars, their forces exemplify adaptability and mobility. A commitment to quality over quantity ensures that every soldier, vehicle, and strategy operates at peak efficiency, embodying the ADN’s values of freedom and justice. From daring planetary insertions to interstellar fleet maneuvers, the ADN military ensures that no foe can stand in the way of democracy’s advance. Join the fight for the future—join the ADN.
Unyielding and relentless, the Federal Sovereign Republic's military is a war machine designed to crush its enemies under sheer weight and firepower. At its core lies a vast army of rank-and-file troops, efficiently equipped for endurance and mass deployment, forming an unbreakable wall of attrition. These soldiers are the anvil upon which the enemy is worn down, their sacrifice paving the way for victory. Supporting them are the FSR’s elite forces, precision-crafted instruments of destruction, armed with the most advanced weapons and technology available. These elite units strike like a hammer, shattering opposition at decisive points in grinding, methodical advances.
The FSR’s doctrine of attritional warfare is built for endurance, where every inch of ground is claimed through determination and overwhelming might. Progress may be slow, but it is inevitable, as the FSR grinds down its enemies through unrelenting pressure and calculated brutality. Behind every wave of infantry lies an arsenal of powerful mechanized units, heavy artillery, and devastating orbital support. The FSR's approach may lack the speed of its rivals, but it more than compensates with resilience, force, and an iron will to win. In the Federal Sovereign Republics, victory is inevitable and paid for, unflinchingly, in blood and steel.
We have several other factions planned for Stellar Edge, all with detailed histories, strategic objectives and unique combat doctrines.

Digital Models and .STL Files: All models in the game are being developed as high-quality .STL files, available for download so that players can print their own armies, vehicles, and terrain pieces at home. This includes infantry, mechs, APCs, and detailed terrain for endless battlefield configurations.
Mobile App (The ARK App): Development of a powerful app that gives players access to everything they need to play the game rules, lore, scenarios, unit details, and an army builder, all easily accessible in one place. Additionally, the app integrates with print-on-demand services for those without 3D printers.

Universe and Lore: We are developing detailed histories, economies, political and cultural systems that are all fleshed out with numerous stories and insights into the universe of Stellar Edge
Most importantly your supporting a new vision for Tabletop War Gaming! We don't believe that players should be charged outrageous prices for a few cents worth of plastic. We believe a fairer model is one where players support the design and development of the universe, the game and the models and they should be free to use as much or as little of it as they want. Our vision allows players to print, modify and adapt our models as much as they like or to have local Printing Partners or Hobby Shops provide the models to support to local gaming ecosystem. Power to the players!

We are pleased to report that our risks have already been largely mitigated. A sizable proportion of our models are already completed, tested and printed on a variety of printers. Most importantly we have our pipeline and process dialed in, so we're starting to produce assets very efficiently. The ARK App is mostly complete and currently in testing.
The biggest risk we see at the moment is having enough Print Partners signed up at launch to make sure you have one close by, of course you are free to download the .STL's and use any Print Service you like if you don't have a printer at home, but we'd really like to launch with a good number of partners integrated into the App to make that whole process as easy as possible. We'll keep backers appraised of the situation on this.
The only physical good in this project is the Hardback Rule Book for the Strategist Tier, shipping anything can raise unexpected challenges but the volume is very low. We are actively exploring shipping options to keep the cost down and will update regularly on progress.
We are extremely confident that Stellar Edge will launch with 2 full armies of highly detailed .stl models, terrain .stl files, numerous short stories, background lore, history, maps, scenarios and an army builder.
This is just the beginning. With your support, we want to expand Stellar Edge into a truly limitless war gaming experience. Our vision includes launching new factions with distinct play styles, developing rich and immersive campaigns, and designing unique combat units that bring fresh tactical depth to the battlefield all paired with the highest-quality models for you to print and play.
We believe tabletop war gaming should be accessible to everyone, everywhere. By embracing 3D printing and digital tools, we’re creating a game that eliminates overpriced miniatures and makes high-quality war gaming affordable. With your backing, we’ll continue to push the boundaries, delivering new content and expanding the universe of Stellar Edge for years to come.
