About the game
The setting of the Posthuman Diaspora Goes to War! Squadron Strike allows you to build any ship from any universe; the home grown setting for Squadron Strike, introduced in the boxed set, gets an expansion with 15 more ships, plus registration benefits as the Japanese, Russians and Rhodesians slip into the posthuman conflict, where through mirroring one another, they go from war as a hobby to war as an avocation, carefully bound within rules of conduct, and monitored for compliance, and run by war ministries in a near post-scarcity society. Also includes 3 more Ship Control Cards for the game. (Publisher blurb)
