First there was the Exodus – when survivors of a great war left the ruins of the Galactic Core behind in search of a new home in the stars. Scattered worlds were claimed on the fringe of the galaxy. Each pocket of survivors held on to an isolated set of worlds while trying to rebuild under the great law of Shalun. Three centuries later, technology has brought them back together again. Discovery of the hyperwarp has bridged what was once an unimaginable distance between far-flung colonies, long-lost families, and political factions.
With that reunification has come great economic prosperity. The hyperwarp reestablished the transportation of cargo, goods, and technologies between the quadrants – but it has also brought great strife. Political rivalries have been rekindled, blood has been shed in age-old feuds, and the fires of war have been stoked. Amidst the political infighting, a ruthless revolution is rising – and the fervent explorers of the hyperwarp have awoken something that was better left asleep.
Our very first game, Star Traders RPG, took hundreds of thousands of gamers on an interstellar adventure. Star Traders’ success and overwhelmingly positive reception helped to launch Trese Brothers Games. It was the adventures of our community’s star-crossed captains that put us on a trajectory to share more of our worlds, ideas, and dreams.
We set out to capture the loneliness, bravery, and camaraderie of people living together in a spaceship sailing across the stars. It is with great pride that after releasing four other games in the Star Traders universe, we’ve created a sequel to the original Star Traders RPG.
Step onto the bridge of your starship, take to the stars, and create your own story in Star Traders: Frontiers.

Disappointing
Very disappointing, as I know for a fact (since I tried and mostly failed to play it with my low vision on PC) that this game is considerably better than the original Star Traders RPG.
The reason why it’s not accessible
The other day I was in contact with the developers of the game. They told me the reason it was not accessible was because they were using a new game engine and they were trying to implement accessibility but it would not work with the engine. Here is the direct quote from them:
We tried very hard to make Frontiers accessible. Spent a lot of time with it. Its a new game engine and we couldn't find a way to make it work. Sorry.
That sucks
That isn't good but at least I did purchase the old one so I still have it.
I know this is not the right place for this question but could anyone explain the word frontier for me because I cannot seem to find a good translation. It says border but I still don't understand.
This was not meant to be
There was an indigogo campaign back in I believe 2014.
the developers had to change engines to unity, and in changing to unity they unfortunately also kyboshed the accessiblity plans.
In fairness to them they did return the money I spent on the campaign, however manifestly I'd have rather had the game.
The thing I do mind however, is that they never fixed the navigator in the original game, meaning you can't see which panet belongs to which faction. On androoid you can, and they said Ios would get the same fix, but it never did. #this was disappointing in the extreme, since it means the original star traders elite is rather more difficult to play than it should be.
Frontier
A frontier is an area at the edge of a country that is not fully settled. Think of the Old West in America in the 19th century.
