In this article, we introduce the ideal star-Rothberger property by coupling the notion of a star operator to that of an ideal Rothberger space, after which some of its topological characteristics are analysed. By creating relationships between a numbers of topological features with structures similar to the ideal star-Rothberger space, we reinforce the concept. In order to illustrate the differences between a number of related topological properties, we also provide several counter examples. Certain preservation-related properties under subspaces and functions are investigated. Lastly we find a way to express ideal star-Rothberger space by means of families of closed sets by bringing some modifications to the SSI^I property.
