An aliens article was requested at wiki.hoodedhorse.com/Beyond_These_Stars/Aliens and returned 404. That miss is why faction names are marked unknown.

Published reviews

• LadiesGamers review, 13 October 2026. Campaign, sandbox, and scenarios; opening steps; toxic tiles; mine depletion; strikes; procedural saves; roads, bridges, and elevators; a steep learning curve. The review used a code supplied before the public release.
• GameObserver review, 13 October 2026. Early chain from homes and pumps through smelters and soot; byproduct stalls; Kewa happiness, including a reported uncommanded teleport; terraforming; spaceports and trade; an 8 out of 10 score; conversation freezes in the reviewed version. The review used a code supplied before the public release.
