Star Hero is a game, published by Hero Games, which uses its Hero System rules to represent the science fiction genre. Though not nearly as popular as its Champions, Dark Champions, and Fantasy Hero lines, the genre book has been received well by fans and critics alike, and its Terran Empire setting has received positive reviews.

Like Champions, Star Hero requires the Hero System rulebook to play, as the rules are pretty similar to all other games using the system, with minor alterations to facilitate such common science-fiction elements as intersteller starship battles, faster-than-light travel, and alien empires.

This book was dedicated to RJM Hughes, an avid poster at the Hero Games forums, who died in August of 2002 due to complications from diabetes.
