Starforce: Alpha Centauri was a board game published in 1974 by Simulations Publications Inc. It was one of their first science fiction games, a departure from their usual historical wargames. It was based on a concept by Redmond Simonsen. Much more information about the game can be found at the Project Rho website: http://www.projectrho.com/rocket/fasterlight.php#id--StarForce_Alpha_Centauri This painting was apparently for the boxed version of the game and has artwork that is more colorful than the version I own. Although the composition is nearly identical, it is a different painting and some of the details of the ships are different.
