Where you should begin is with the Quick Start Rules ... as they are a free download! I'm directing you to the newest location where we have them available, over at Wargame Vault, although you can also find it at the top of our forum.

The Quick Start Rules are a small sample of the tactical rules that includes scenarios and cut-out counters so you can try the rules. It is based on Solar Starfire, although in the long-run you'll find that while the technologies change and some editions have a few extra rules, the core tactical combat system remains the same through all of the editions.
And you can, of course, ask any questions or make any suggestions you want here on the forum!
So if I may ask... where did you hear about Starfire?

There was a thread early last year which has plenty of information on this:
viewtopic.php?f=2&t=2724&start=0
Also there is this site:

If there are questions left... fire away.
PS: And welcome to the board.

Is the only way to get a physical copy of the game is through secondary markets?

We do have counters available, but the big maps and the Galactic Starfire box set we ran out of. We are considering options, but it's a lot of money up-front to do runs of physical products. I keep hoping someday we might find a print-on-demand manufacturer who can do the whole box set. But if we do we'll do it for a more recent edition than GSF.
Ultra Starfire and Solar Starfire have always been digital only. A lot of people just print out the rules and put them in a binder.
But there is one potential thing: we discovered that we can rebuild our documents for print-on-demand book printing through Wargame Vault. It will be a lot of work, but after we get all of our PDF versions available through WGV we'll look at making that happen.
