Dawning Star (abbreviated DS) is a 2005 science fiction role-playing game by Blue Devil Games built on d20 Modern and powered by d20 Future by Wizards of the Coast. It was the first full-scale campaign setting using the d20 Future ruleset. It was published under the Open Game License. A new version using the FATE rules appeared in 2017.
The setting is self-described as "firm science" and is designed to support a number of science-fiction subgenres, including: space Western, 'bug hunt' (like the Alien series of films or Starship Troopers), alien ruin exploration, political intrigue, etc.
