Homeland Solidarity Party Malay: Parti Solidariti Tanah Airku or STAR is a Sabah-based political party. The party was founded on 1 July 2016 by Datuk Seri Panglima Dr. Jeffrey G. Kitingan.[5] He is Tan Sri Joseph Pairin Kitingan younger brother, the former chief minister of Sabah and ex-president of United Sabah Party (PBS). STAR Party was one of three founding parties of the United Sabah Alliance (USA) founded in 2016 and United Alliance of Sabah (UAOS) founded in 2018, the other being the Sabah Progressive Party (SAPP) and United Sabah Party (PBS).

The party entered into an alliance with Barisan Nasional coalition after the 2018 Sabah state election and formed the state government.[6] However, the state government lost power after a number of BN state assemblymen left and lent their support for the Parti Warisan Sabah, which subsequently replaced the STAR-BN government with the support of Pakatan Harapan. STAR later returned to power as part of the Gabungan Rakyat Sabah coalition which was formed to contest the 2020 Sabah state snap-election. The party is actively researching and protecting the rights of the people of Sabah through the United Nation, UNESCO and also through all evidence documents.[7]
