This matches up to how the original ''Ironsworn'' runs expeditions.

!!This game includes examples of the following:
* AbsentAliens: While the original ''Ironsworn'' had StandardFantasyRaces, humans in ''Starforged'' are the only surviving sapient species in the Forge. The only signs of the previous inhabitants are the ruins and relics they left behind.
* AfterTheEnd: The Forge's people had fled the home galaxy because of a cataclysm. This cataclysm's scale varies on which truth the players choose, spanning from stellar-scale societal disruption (if the Forge's people are descendants of WarRefugees) to galactic-scale physical annihilation (if the Sun Plague extinguished all of the stars of the entire home galaxy).
* ALongTimeAgoInAGalaxyFarFarAway: The Forge is a globular cluster located above an unnamed and fictional galaxy.
* ArtificialLimbs: Prosthetic limbs are common technology in the Forge. One of the example looks for player characters "has a prosthetic leg also adorned with art." Beyond flavor, the Augmented asset mechanicalizes more advanced prosthetics, making the augment both a benefit and a potential complication when the it breaks.
* DeathWorld: Any planetary class that's not a Vital World lends itself to perilous exploration. Of special note, the Grave and Shattered World are deadly from unnatural causes.
* FasterThanLightTravel: Starships travel the Forge using eidolon drives (e-drives), jumping from anchorage to anchorage and hoping that danger does not come at the waypoints, or even during transit.
* GhostShip: Drunken spacers tell rumors of ghost ships in the Forge, and multiple quest starters center around investigating an abandoned ship. Finally, the Space Encounters oracle can result in the players encountering an "abandoned ship" as a Derelict.
* HeroicVow: Like in its predecessor, players are "ironsworn" who swear sacred vows. This sense of honor informs the Forge's culture and the game's core game loop runs on swearing and fulling vows and avoiding forsaking them.
* HitPoints: Player characters have a Health track that represents their physical condition and suffering harm at 0 health results in the character having to Face Death.
* HyperspaceIsAScaryPlace: Some travelers have told about spooky incidents during eidolon transit. If a player is especially unlucky on an Undertake an Expedition, danger might strike mid-journey.
* HyperspaceLanes: In the Forge, faster-than-life travel takes place in a series of drifts. A sidebar explains that FTL travel is "undertaken in a series of discrete segments" to encourage players to explore, with characters inclined to scout around the anchorage while their e-drive recharges. This matches up to how the original ''Ironsworn'' runs expeditions.
* LastOfHisKind: Characters with the Vestige asset are the remnants of "a people, culture, or tradition." One quest starter suggests linking this remnant to the pre-cataclysm galaxy.
* TheMigration: The Forge's inhabitants are descendants of the home galaxy's refugees.
* MultipleLifeBars: Both the original ''Ironsworn'' and ''Starforged'' use the same three {{Life Meter}}s: Health (physical state), Spirit (mental state), and Supply (resources and equipment). Supply is a SharedLifeMeter in group play across all players.
* NonCombatEXP: Experience points still revolve around fulfilling iron vows. However, there are now three different "legacy tracks" that separately track and grant experience: quests (from fulfilling iron vows), bonds (from developing connections into bonds), and exploration (from finishing expeditions). Assets can separately mark these tracks. While gameplay may involve combat, none of the three legacy tracks require violence to gain experience.
* PointsOfLightSetting: Settlements are scattered across the Forge, lacking the organization of its residents' home galaxy. Journeys are risky and entire quests can run from traveling from system to system.
* {{Precursors}}: While humans are the only sapient creatures in the Forge, they live amongst the ruins of spacefaring precursors. The location oracles are full of opportunities to discover and explore ancient stellar ruins, taking pages from the ''Ironsworn: Delve'' expansion.
* RelationshipValues: As with the original ''Ironsworn'', ''Starforged'' has bonds that player characters have with [=NPCs=], which represent significant relationships between people. However, ''Starforged'' expands the bond system. Bonds are now harder to attain, as players have to first make a "connection" with an NPC and then develop the relationship over time, marking a progress's connection track. To upgrade it into a bond, the player must make the Forge a Bond move and roll on the progress track, similarly to vow tracks.
* SingleBiomePlanet: Of the planetary classes, only the Vital World comes with a biome table. Of the potentially livable worlds, the planet oracle includes the Desert World, Ice World, Jungle World, and Ocean World.
* SoloTabletopGame" ''Starforged'' retains all of the solo support of the original ''Ironsworn''.
* TheSymbiote: The Symbiote asset is different from the other companions in that it's bound to the player character in a complicated mutualist arrangement. The player character can choose for the symbiote to take harm instead, but then the player must later Endure Stress to restore the symbiote's health. It's basically a way for the player to have their own version of the Symbiote from ''ComicBook/{{Venom}}''.
* UngovernableGalaxy: Versions of the Forge vary on how centralized authority is between settlements but in any case, settlements in the outlands or expanse are flavored to be more lawless.
