Star Hero is a role-playing game, first published by Hero Games in 1989, which uses the Hero System rules to represent the science fiction genre. The original edition was for the Hero System's third edition. A 2002 edition was released based on the system's fifth edition. 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. This book was dedicated to RJM Hughes, an avid poster at the Hero Games forums, who died in August 2002 due to complications from diabetes. A 2011 release was built using the Hero System's sixth edition.
