Your Voice in the Star Citizen Universe
Welcome to stArs Oratoria, an independent Star Citizen and space gaming website dedicated to helping players explore the universe, discover new gameplay opportunities and stay informed about the game’s ongoing development.
From beginner-friendly tutorials and detailed spaceship guides to the latest news and community discussions, our goal is to make Stars Oratoria a useful destination for both new and experienced citizens.
But our story began long before the website you see today.
Our Story: From Podcast to Space Gaming Website
stArs Oratoria originally launched in 2012 as stArs Oratoria, a Star Citizen podcast hosted by Senet van Rijn.
During the early days of Star Citizen’s development, the podcast brought together enthusiasts to discuss the ambitious upcoming space simulator, its expanding universe and the community forming around it.
New episodes were planned roughly every other weekend and covered game mechanics, spacecraft, development news, community ideas and the latest announcements from Cloud Imperium Games.
The podcast also welcomed community members and special guests, including Eric “Wingman” Peterson, who appeared in Episode 8 in March 2013.
The original show attracted an enthusiastic audience, eventually celebrating a milestone of 50,000 plays. Its archived comments offer a glimpse into the excitement surrounding Star Citizen during its earliest years.
Today, Stars Oratoria has been relaunched as an independent editorial website, building on that history while expanding into modern Star Citizen and space gaming coverage.
Preserving Our Origins
The original podcast was created and hosted by Senet van Rijn. The relaunched Stars Oratoria website is independently operated and is not presented as a continuation by the original host or production team.
