From the game's introduction: STAR BLAZERS FLEET BATTLE SYSTEM is a miniatures tabletop game of space warfare set in the YAMATO universe. This game represents a recreation of the battles and weapon systems that are seen in the popular Japanese animation series SPACE BATTLESHIP YAMATO, or STAR BLAZERS in the United States. The author's intent is to construct a rules system which correctly portrays the atmosphere of the series, as well as providing a fun and balanced game.
