Stellar Assault (ステラアサルト), known in the United States as Shadow Squadron, is a Sega 32X game developed and published by Sega. It is a shoot-'em-up based around destroying most to all of the ships within the space given before moving on to the next sector. There are 6 sectors. It is one of only a few games to use every button on the six button control pad, including the MODE button.

There was also a Japan only sequel titled Stellar Assault SS for the Sega Saturn. It is considerably hard to find.
