Star is a gen Blake's 7 anthology. Each zine followed the next with titles like: Star One, Star Two etc....
==The Adult/Slash Stories Went Elsewhere==
From a flyer by Judith Proctor: Forbidden Star is "for all those stories that I wouldn't dream of publishing in Star Three."
==Some Fall Out from the Blake's 7 War==
Kathy Hanson requested to have her art removed from reprints of this zine due to her anger regarding The Blake's 7 War. "Now, though, I can look at STAR ONE, where the New Zealander had her name removed from the credits, as it were, because she found out the editor was chummy with Wortham and Rosenthal, and chuckle." -- from a fan in Rallying Call #16 (January 1996), see the complete comments at The Blake's 7 War or at Rallying Call #16

Star 1 or Star One was published in 1994, third edition with Kathy Hanson art replaced by Whitby27 (at Kathy's request) 1997.
