Canon

The story focuses on the relationship between Cain and Abel, a fighter and navigator on a military base. The two are assigned to the same ship and must work together to form a cohesive unit in spite of their wildly different personalities and Cain's often aggressive behaviour towards Abel.

The comic launched in 2009 and the story concluded in March of 2020. Following a successful Kickstarter campaign, a Visual Novel titled Starfighter: Eclipse was released in 2015. HamletMachine served as the lead artist and project lead The game features an original story set in the same universe as the comic, as well as new and returning characters.
