Tarr Chronicles ({{langx|ru|Хроники Тарр: Призраки звёзд}}) is a space combat simulation game developed by Quazar Studio and Akella and published by Paradox Interactive (AUS) and cdv Software. The game was released in 2007.

Tarr Chronicles initially debuted with incomplete joystick support. The game appeared to be released (and apparently designed) with the mouse and keyboard as the primary control system. The 1.0.6.0 patch however introduces joystick axis mapping to any game actions.
