AFAIK There are only 2 books currently.

The Starfire Universe was originally developed by David Weber though,
of Honor Harrignton fame.  In some ways I actually perfer starfire to
FT/MT (ducks under a table to avoid flames), but overall I find
the physics of the game a little strange to actually play.  Now a 
Realistic Movement varient of Starfire, that would be interesting.
