In July of last year, developer and publishing house Stardock acquired the rights to the highly celebrated but long-dormant Star Control franchise. The company announced plans for a new Star Control title that would be heavily inspired by the franchise's most famous entry, Star Control 2.
That set the bar mighty high. Forum postings from Stardock CEO Brad Wardell seemed to indicate that Stardock was going to produce not a continuation of the Star Control story, but rather a reboot or prequel. Legions of the game's fans (including this author) were eager for more information on the shape of Star Control to come as Stardock settled down into the early development stages.

For those who are curious:
- Star Control 2 was a cult sci-fi hit created by Toys for Bob
- Star Control 3 was created by Legend as original developers had no interest in making a sequel
- Toys for Bob is now fully preoccupied with billion-dollar hit Skylanders and have let go the Star Control franchise
- Stardock is a company most known for complex and niche 4X titles such as Sins of a Solar Empire
