Recent Battles

The Second PH War
Sides: PH Vs STARS
Commanders: Unknown and SCIC John Killah
Strength: Unknown (Numbers can be skewed due to Zerging) and Roughly 25
Casualities: Unknown and 14 - Unofficial
Victor: Ongoing
Background: The War started on 8th March 2009 when PH launched a small offensive on STARS. As one of the few members who was around for the First PH War and suffered from the attacks, Supreme Commander in Cheif John Killah readied his group, highered the Defcon Level to 1 and declared war on PH. Unlike the First PH War, there was no major skirmishes, and instead the war is confined to minor hit-and-run attacks from both sides. Recently, PH has increased attacks on an ally and as such, it is thought the war will now escalate.

Board of Commanders

Central to any group, is command. Without a leader, a group is just anarchy. The Board of Commanders is STARS's Central Authority, setting down what members can't do, can do and just there to guide the way.

Currently, the BoC consists of -

The Board

  • Kewabara - The Co-2nd in Command - General Commander - The Right Hand of STARS, Also Forum Admin and Maintainer.
  • Linda Milley - The BoC Representative/Co-2nd in Command - General Commander - She basically is the spokesperson for the Boards decisions. She also runs the groups Delta Force ... when it's Operational. Also a Professional Ball-Remover. Diplomat and Assistant Director of Intelligence/Member of the Intelligence Board.
  • XMegaDeathX - Forces Commander/ 3rd in Command - Commander of STARS Bravo Team. Also The 3rd Member of the Intelligence Board
  • TheLeader - Forces Commander/Co-4th in Command - Commander of STARS Alpha Team


  • Hakimaru - Forces Commander/Co-4th in Command - Commander of STARS Charlie Team and Department of Recruitment. Also Forum Admin.

The STARS HQ Area

STARS Nuke.jpg
STARS has been operating in East Grayside for over 3 years now, as both the Squad and Service Titles. In those 3 years, it has had 3 seperate Headquarters - The Zwanenburg Museum (Temporary HQ for the PH War. Abandonded after the Massacre), The Wensleydale Building (Abandonded after PHerez strikes 4 times in 2 days) and finally, the current HQ, Cousins Tower. However, The New STARS has decided that it's HQ shouldn't be confined to one square, and has since claimed an addition 5 squares as part of it's HQ Area. This forms what looks like a nuke on the map.

  • 1 - STARS GHQ (Thats General HeadQuarters for you who don't know): Cousins Towers - Cousins Tower's main job is the be the epicenter of the planning of the group. Most members will be there when they are to report in on a mission.
  • 2 - STARS Bar: The Thyer Arms - The Thyer Arms has been considered STARS Unofficial Bar for the past year or so, where people mainly went to get slaughtered after slaughtering. Upon the creation of the STARS HQ Area, The Thyer Arms was incorporated as the Official Bar for the group to drown their sorrows ... or just get drunk.
  • 3 - STARS Revive Point: Baynton Street - Even STARS members get killed, though that's mainly due to PKers when they sleep. So when they're dead, they shamble on over to this spot here, and they get revived by one of our many NecroTech trained people.
  • 4 - STARS HQ Area Entry Point: A Warehouse - That certain Warehouse has been providing STARS as an Entry Point into Cousins since Cousins was proclaimed as HQ a long time ago. Now, it retains that quality and name.
  • 5 - STARS Fuel and Spray Restock Point: Shackelton Auto Repair - STARS used this place a long time ago to refuel the generators or their spray cans. Now, it has been incorporated as part of the HQ Area.
  • 6 - STARS Secondary Entry Point and Mission Preparation Center: Grice Cresent Railway Station - STARS usually does all it's planning and preperation on it's forum. But lately, it has been seen that sometimes, it can be useful to speak in person to people. That's where this building comes in handy. After a mission is planned and authorized, this is the place most likely to be a the start point of a campaign. It also serves as a Secondary Entry Point to the HQ Area.

Also stated on the map are dots -

  • The Blue Dot: This dot represents that this building should be Extremely Heavily Barricaded at all times, no exceptions.
  • The Yellow Dot: This dot represents that this building should be powered by a Portable Generator at all times.
  • The Black Dot: This One Dot means that the specified building should have a radio transmitter in it for sending out broadcasts over the STARS Frequency.
  • The White Dot: This represents that the building has the option of being powered. Meaning it doesn't need to be powered, but it's always useful.
  • The Pink Dot: Finally, the pink dot represents that the building should be Very Strongly Barricaded, as per the Entry Points stated above.

Our Enemies

  • Steyr - PKer, annoyance, Dave.
  • PH - PH have previously warred with STARS before disappearing. However, they have recently flared up, targeting STARS. All PH are KOS.
