Brilliant Lances is a science fiction board wargame released in 1993 by Game Designers' Workshop. It provides a dedicated starship combat system built for the Traveller: The New Era setting, letting players fight tactical space battles between the warships of that science fiction universe rather than resolving combat abstractly within the roleplaying rules. As a standalone board wargame rather than a roleplaying supplement, it concentrates on maneuver, weapons fire and damage between individual starships, giving Traveller players a detailed tactical layer for the kind of naval style space combat that the wider game line only sketches. It sits within the long running Traveller family of products, extending the setting's established universe with rules built specifically for ship to ship engagements rather than crew level roleplaying.
