I play Imperial Starfire, and I DO have a FileMaker Pro campaign
template
for it. However, I was thinking of starting out with something a little
less grand-strategic for FT. My initial vision, which could then be
added
to in time, is something that simply allows for a series of connected
battles, or perhaps one front of a war.

There is a software package out there (you can get details on obtaining
it
at the SDS Starfire homepage
http://cd.murr.missouri.edu/sds/SF-main.html),
but it isn't quite what I was thinking of; it's very complex, and I was
thinking of something a little more simple and elegant - in keeping with
the FT rules themselves.
