Stargunner is a horizontally scrolling shooter video game published by Apogee Software in 1996 for MS-DOS and Microsoft Windows.

The Amdarans find themselves in a losing battle, their final hope are the titular Stargunners who are tasked with assaulting key Barak locations and fleets with the hope of crippling the enemy and turning the tide of the war.

The in-game story is about the Zilians planning an assault on the people of Yitima.

The Yitimans plan to preemptively strike at key Zilian strongholds before their forces can be mobilized.

According to David Pevreal, Apogee had intended to develop an Amiga version of the game first and then port it to IBM PC compatibles, but those plans were scrapped and only the latter version was released.
