Read the full game description
Full Thrust is an open-ended miniatures system for fleet combat in deep space. Admirals design or select ships, plot movement orders simultaneously, and spend limited thrust to alter course or velocity before weapons fire erupts across the table. Damage strips away systems and crew in stages, while fighters, defenses, and optional vector movement expand the core cinematic game. The rules are intentionally miniature-agnostic, encouraging players to use any fleets and setting they enjoy.
