"THE NEW MANKIND
War erupts with a vicious alien race that is scattered across galaxies. The USS Corsair, severely damaged, is forced to land on an uncharted world inhabited only by savage animals.
The ship is permanently down, and it was carrying no supplies. The three hundred crew members are not trained in colonization. Somehow they must survive. Soon, and with much pain, a society evolves - one that mankind has never before seen.
After hundreds of years, the rigid and repressive society has created a distinct class structure - Guiders, Techs, Hunters, Tree People...but a violent and full-scale revolution is close at hand in...
THE SAVAGE STARS"
It's a bit of a stretch, but could it be Romas Kulkalis? Google turns up an edition published by Tower Books (New York) in 1981 with Kukalis credited as the cover artist, but a google image search does not bring up any cover varients other than the Ace version you've posted. Possibly a rare case of a US artist being used and not credited on the UK edition? Can't see any link between Tower and Act, but haven't searched much.

Incidentally, my copy of the book says that it was first published by Tower in 1981.
