Unisystem Sci Fi

Unisystem Sci-Fi
Take some bits from Andromeda, add Mecha, add more Alien races (possibly some from
other books, etc), add espionage elements, add mercenary elements, mix well, and get the
rules, setting, etc from that. (Expand this, as this will be the iatus game)
(T!"!#
Thinking about possibly including some disruptors (powerful, but energy crystal takes $
minute to charge for a second shot, thinking might be interesting for both spaceships and
hand weaponry).
Add in %iotechnology (for &ectoids) rules other then mere upgrades.
Make rules in here for emophages from 'ltra(iolet ("!)E).
Make rules for Aliens from the Aliens mo(ie.
Also make rules for the *erg,
'pdate +la(our texts for races. Add in &ectoids. Add in ,i-ardmen (the bioweapons) and
.mmune knockout/sleep.
)eed to make, communication 0ammers, gap 0ump interdictors)

Gap Drive Functionality
The 2ap dri(e functions by mo(ing the ship into another dimension and tra(elling through it
to a desired location. owe(er for anything other then short 2ap 0umps long calculations are
reDuired to determine speed and (ector of the 2ap 0ump to arri(e at the desired location.
;ithout this calculation youFd be 0umping blind, youFd either need to do the calculation after
the 0ump to determine your resulting location or if your really lucky youFll end up in a known
position and be able to tra(el onward. The calculations reDuire pretty exact knowledge of
your current location and the location of certain stellar ob0ects that bend and ward 2ap space.

1ommonwealth humans resemble modern humans in a lot of ways. They share a similarly
wide (ariety of cultures and customs mostly based on the existing ones. They ha(e similar
attitudes of speech as humans from that geographical region would ha(e, they do howe(er
also ha(e a significantly larger number of humans with more mixed traits from multiple
customs, cultures and speech patterns. The humans cycle the planet the 1ommonwealth
representati(e comes from and ha(e the humans of that world (ote on him/her.
Kitrians
The :itrians are a race of cat people that 0oined the human 1ommonwealth early in its
creation. They know all about the humanFs fascination with LfurriesM and take ad(antage of
this fact whene(er they ha(e a complaint they need to bring to the 1ommonwealth. !n their
own they normally donFt act Duite so catlike but some ha(e been acting the part so long they
find themsel(es doing it e(en when not in the presence of humans. The :itrians do ha(e one
commonality with human cats they are both extremely curious. The :itrians normally ha(e
white, grey or black fur, their eye colour (aries between human eye colours and those
normally found only on cats and the all ha(e retractable claws, they rarely use them though
except when threatened. The a(erage :itrian is a little shorter then the a(erage human
(<F>M5>F9M). The :itrians ha(e adopted most of the human customs for their own they do
ha(e some of their own customs that they still follow but they rarely discuss these with other
species. The :itrian representati(e to the council is always a female :itrian chosen by the
:itrians hereditary monarch. :itrians would look a lot like slender humans in cat suits, they
do ha(e the tail though
Saurus
The &aurus are a li-ard5like peopleI they are normally green or grey skinned with extensi(e
scales that pro(ide them some protection from hostile attacks, they are normally bigger then
the a(erage human (>F5?F9M). &aurus look a lot like Nraptors. 'nlike most li-ard5like species
the &aurus are actually warm5blooded and donFt suffer problems in cold weather, well no
more then humans do anyway. They also ha(e claws which they as a race started with but
rarely use nowadays, they do ha(e a martial art that takes into account both their claws and
their scales, masters of this art are (ery difficult to handle. The &aurus rarely bring complaints
to the 1ommonwealth council preferring to handle their problems pri(ately. They would
howe(er call in the 1ommonwealth if they were attacked by something they couldnFt handle
on their own. The &aurus as a people (ote to decide on their species representati(e.
Cho-a
The 1ho50a are an insect like people they stand about <F5<F>M inch tall, and ha(e four arms
and two legs. They look a huge amount like large insects. Their arms all ha(e bladed
forearmFs making them lethal in combat. They ha(e tough carapaces that can take Duite a bit
of damage. They are also highly manoeu(rable. They ha(e a martial art that takes ad(antage
of all their abilities including the four arms. They are a communal species and you rarely find
them alone. All 1ho50a contain the ability to telepathically communicate with other members
of their species at close range, with effort and training they can extend this range and e(en
contact other telepathic species. Their communal nature means they rarely handle their own
problems and always inform the 1ommonwealth council of any issues. They also rarely go
against the councilFs final decision e(en if they (oted the other way. The 1ho50a ne(er ha(e
difficulty coming up with a representati(e for the 1ommonwealth council, they always ha(e a
consensus on whom to send.
Common!ealth "orlds
The 1ommonwealth is Duite large spanning o(er twenty worlds. &ome of the worlds contain
all four 1ommonwealth speciesI others contain only one or two of them. As always the
1ommonwealth is in constant negotiations with some of the unaligned races in order to bring
them into the 1ommonwealth.
Common!ealth Fleet
The 1ommonwealth +leet is fairly large containing 7 large military starbases at key systems,
as well as smaller ci(ilian ones at each of the worlds. The entire 1ommonwealth military
consists of four main fleets, each containing a battleship, two or three cruisers, six to eight
destroyers and about twenty frigates, plus any fighters launchable by these starship. Each
system also has a small system defence fleet of two frigates plus any fighters launchable by
the starbases and planet as well as any 1ommonwealth merchant ships in the systems. The
1ommonwealth ground based military forces include hundreds of thousands of troops, tanks,
and mecha.
Common!ealth La!s#Customs
The 1ommonwealth is lead by a council with a representati(e from e(ery world in the
1ommonwealth ((oted on by the population of that planet), plus an additional representati(e
for e(ery species (either chosen by that species or a representati(e for the monarch if the
species had one, etc). This means the council at the moment has a little o(er 48 members. The
1ommonwealth council decides when the 1ommonwealth armed forces go to war as well as
making ,aws that are to be enforced throughout the 1ommonwealth. The 1ommonwealth
laws are pretty much as to be expected no real surprises.
Common!ealth $I La!s
.n the 1ommonwealth A.Fs need to take a intelligence and reasoning test, assuming they pass
said test they are gi(en the same rights and pri(ileges of any citi-en. .t is (ery hard to create
an A. that is as smart as a human that is incapable of passing this test. owe(er there are
many A.Fs that are created that arenFt smart enough to pass (4 or less .ntelligence, and some
mental drawbacks).
Empire
1ontains extremist humans that are xenophobic, in the same way the ones in the "eathstalker
books.
Humans %Empire&
The humans in the Empire in general hate and fear any alien species they cannot controlI a
hereditary monarch and a council of ,ords rule the Empire. The lords come from multiple
different backgrounds, each of they rules their own house and world as they see fit. The
monarch rules the capital world of the Empire and has the rarely exercised power to punish
any of the other lords, howe(er this power is exercised rarely as the lords combined are more
powerful then the monarch.
Empire "orlds
The Empire contains fifteen worlds the capital and the worlds of each of the fourteen lords.
The lord that owns it rules the worlds, but occasionally the Emperor/Empress will gi(e a
global decree, which the lords mostly follow. &ome of the world had nati(e intelligent species
these ha(e mostly either been destroyed or ensla(ed by the Empire. The Empire is always
looking to expand howe(er none of the lords is powerful enough on their own to do so, they
keep looking for the opportunity though as if they get powerful enough they can o(erthrow
the monarch and replace him/her.
Empire Fleet
Each of the lords has their own personal fleet of a cruiser, a light cruiser, four destroyers, and
fifteen frigates, plus theyFre personal starbase at each planet. The monarch has a larger fleet
of a battleship, three cruisers, six destroyers, and twenty frigates as well as his larger starbase.
;hile this may seems like a small fleet combined the entire EmpireFs fleet is Duite large ($
battleship, $? cruisers, $8 light cruisers, >9 destroyers, 479 frigates) e(en if most of the
indi(idual ships are relati(ely small.
Empire La!s#Customs
The Empire treats all aliens as second5class citi-ens whether local or not. They also rarely
appreciate negati(e comments on their ruler5ship. Each of the lords has the ability and right to
o(ersee 0ustice on his planet this makes it Duite risky as you can be killed or imprisoned on a
whim on some worlds. The Empire is a risky place to (isit particularly for aliens. Extensi(e
genetic engineering is forbidden in the Empire, howe(er minor changes and enhancements
are still legal.
Empire $I La!s
.n the Empire A.Fs are treated like machines, they are ne(er gi(en citi-enship regardless of
intelligence, all A.Fs constructed by them ha(e loyalty programming this stops most but not
all of them from lea(ing the Empire.
Alari Federation
"espite being a +ederation in le(el of power and si-e only contains the Alkari (bird people).
$l'ari
The Alkari are a pterodactyl5like race they are superb na(igators and seem to be able to make
0ump calculations in a fraction of the time of most other species. The Alkari ha(e grey skin,
bird5like faces and leathery grey wings that are rarely used nowadays, the wings ha(e hands
wings roughly in the middle, they are also smaller then the a(erage human (<F9M5<F>M). The
Alkari are a pri(ate species and rarely share much of their culture or customs with other
species but it is known that they do ha(e a couple of languages that they refuse to teach to
other species.
$l'ari "orlds
The Alkari +ederation numbers six worlds all populated by Alkari and a handful of
immigrants from other species.
$l'ari Fleet
The Alkari ha(e what would be termed a top5hea(y fleet, $ dreadnaught, 4 battleships, $9
cruisers and 49 light cruisers. They also ha(e $ more light cruiser per system that pro(ide
system defence duty. The AlkariFs only ha(e one starbase and it is the largest one anywhere in
the known galaxy. The AlkariFs rarely use fighters in their fleet, they do howe(er ha(e a
couple of small scout type (essels e(en these are bigger then normal scout ships. E(en Alkari
merchantmen tend to be bigger and more hea(ily armed than similar ships of other species.
$l'ari La!s#Customs
Alkari in spite of being a pri(ate species, accept immigrants from other species when they
can be useful, they do not howe(er allow these immigrants to 0oin the Alkari fleet. All Alkari
appear to ha(e trust issues and are often Duite paranoid and donFt like sudden mo(ements.
$l'ari $I La!s
The Alkari laws are somewhat similar to the 1ommonwealth, howe(er the Alkari rarely
produce many A.FsI they prefer to do the work themsel(es.
League
1ontains the sktskt (li-ard people), the 3iranites (crystalline race).
Hs'ts't
The sktskt are a green skinned li-ard5like peopleI they Duite surprisingly ha(e an additional
set of arms and are a little smaller then humans (<F5>F). The sktskt like most li-ard5like
races ha(e scales and claws. Their heads are (ery different from human ones look a lot like
li-ard ones. The sktskt are like most li-ard5like races cold5blooded this makes it harder for
them to act when exposed to cold temperatures. The sktskt as notorious sla(ers, and will
ensla(e (irtually any species they can. !ne of the sktsktFs fa(ourite pastimes is pitting
(arious sla(es against each other in an arena. sktskt bet extensi(ely on such fights and some
e(en own the gladiators and pit them against others only for huge bets of money or e(en
occasionally fa(ours.
(iranites
)ot Duite as much of a sla(ing race as the sktskt the 3iranites are a crystalline species, they
are ama-ingly resilient to damage and may e(en be immune to some forms of weaponry.
3iranites come in many colours howe(er they are all about >F4M in height when fully grown.
The 3iranites howe(er find it difficult to mo(e around Duickly because of their weird
crystalline structure. %ecause of this it forces them to rely on sla(e labour for much of their
workforce hence the alliance with the sktskt. The 3iranites rarely talk much about their
culture, howe(er it is known that they ha(e a ceremony honouring slain 3iranites on a yearly
basis. ;hy a yearly basis and not indi(idual funerals is unknown but researchers are sure
there is a reason.
League "orlds
The ,eague is made up of eight worlds, two coloni-ed by 3iranites and their sla(es and six
populated by the sktskt and their sla(es.
League Fleet
The ,eague +leet is nominally weak until you count the sla(ing ships. The actual formal
,eague fleet is estimated at 4 battleships, 4 cruisers, 8 destroyers and 79 frigates, plus the
85frigate system defence fleet for each of the systems. The sla(ers are estimated to ha(e at
least 49 light cruisers, and 499 smaller (essels. They ,eague has two starbases one at a
3iranite colony and one at an sktskt one.
League La!s#Customs
The ,eague laws include sla(ery as a punishment for many crimes, howe(er it also pro(ides
protection to any ,eague citi-en from being made a sla(e without proper trial, this is
punished by deal of the sla(ers and the gi(ing of all the own to the illegally made sla(es.
League $I La!s
.n the ,eague like in the Empire A.Fs are treated like machines, they are ne(er gi(en

Andromedan Federation
"espite being a +ederation in le(el of power and si-e only contains the Andromedans (a race
of energy beings that still ha(e a somewhat coherent form somehow).
$ndromedan
The Andromedans are a mysterious race. The first mystery is their appearance they seem to
be a race of coherent energy beings are yet seem solid enough to pick up most ob0ects.
Andromedans often ha(e different colours and about human si-ed (<F>M5>F>M) and are able to
speak in spite of not seeming to ha(e any mouths or (ocal cords. ;hen seemingly killed
Andromedan corpses merely fade away. As yet it is impossible to determine whether they
e(en actually die. They do seem resistant to at least some weaponry. Their culture and
customs are e(en more of a mystery. 3eople suspect that an Andromedans body indicates his
emotions by changing colour howe(er they donFt seem to do so like normal human
expectations (i.e. red doesnFt seem to indicate angry).
$ndromedan "orlds
The Andromedans only ha(e four worlds howe(er each of these worlds is well populated and
defended.
$ndromedan Fleet
The Andromedan fleet is Duite large for the number of colonies, the fleet is normally split into
fi(e parts each containing a battleship, a cruiser, two light cruisers, four destroyers, and ten
frigates. Each system has itFs own small starbase.
$ndromedan La!s#Customs
Andromedans while Duite tolerant of (isitors and traders, they do not allow immigration onto
their worlds and only allow a handful of people to actually (isit the surface of the planet. Any
crimes committed on the planet are punished with either immediate deportation to your home
system or death based upon seriousness of the crime. Andromedan laws may be different for
citi-ens howe(er this is impossible to determine.
$ndromedan $I La!s
.n the Andromedan +ederation, construction of any artificial life form is forbidden. owe(er
all such life forms are treated as citi-ens.
AI Federation
This Empire is made up entirely of A.Fs and robots, some created by humans most created by
other A.Fs and =obots.
$I
A.Fs are Artificial .ntelligences, housed somewhere other then a human or humanoid body.
They include the A.Fs that are the ones in charge of the A. +ederation, which are housed in
se(eral computer complexes on each of the A. worlds.
)o*ots
These are the A.Fs that ha(e human or humanoid bodies, they are normally used to spy on
other ci(ilisations by using bodies customised to blend in, or for policing duties on the
starbases and (isitor areas. They strictly police duty robots tend to be ob(iously robots with
metal bodies and are up to @ feet tall. The spy robots tend to match the species they are
duplicating in si-e and appearance but are normally much tougher physically.
$I "orlds
The A. +ederation is a collection of six worlds, each of them populated by A.Fs and robots of
(arious types.
$I Fleet
Each of the A. worlds has a starbase, and itFs own small fleet of 4 light cruisers, 8 destroyers
and @ frigates. The A.Fs also ha(e a main fleet of $4 cruisers, 48 light cruisers and 8@
destroyers. &hip for ship the A.Fs normally ha(e an ad(antage in spite of their ships being
slightly smaller.
$I La!s#Customs
The A. laws are relati(ely straight forward and logical, there is little room for appeal as the
A.Fs rarely make mistakes, howe(er a couple of appeals ha(e been fought and won in cases
where the first trial was mishandled by the defence.
$I La!s
.n the A. +ederation all A.Fs ha(e citi-enship and are assigned work based upon their
abilities. !f course in the end all the A.Fs ha(e free will and can choose to perform other
forms of work either by being modified to be able to perform it or simply picking another 0ob
reDuiring the same skill set.
Unaligned !aces
The 'naligned =aces are the term for all the races that are not part of some interstellar
powerbase, these races are smaller or in some way not as powerful as the interstellar
powerhouses mentioned in the sections abo(e. The reasons for not being aligned with one of
the powers abo(e (ary greatly from not wanting to get in(ol(ed in interstellar conflicts, not
ha(ing been asked, or e(en that now of the powers want their help.
$variel
The A(ariel are a humanoid species resembling humans only about <F5<F>M with either black
or white5feathered wings. The A(ariel are easy to mistake for humans if you canFt see their
wings and ignore their height.
The A(ariel are also limited to 7 worlds and ha(e a large but relati(ely weak fleet (79
destroyers, 499 frigates), their fleet is howe(er highly manoeu(rable and they use that to their
ad(antage. The 1ommonwealth is currently in negotiations with them about 0oining. The
A(ariel laws on A.Fs are identical to the 1ommonwealths.
+ulrathi
The %ulrathi are a huge furry species around @F5AF tall. They are stronger and tougher then
most species thanks to their large si-e, and make exceptional ground troopsI they are howe(er
not normally as good when it comes to space5based combat. The %ulrathi are a Duite
aggressi(e species and seem to lo(e fighting both for sport and for conDuest.
The %ulrathi ha(e < planets and ha(e mostly larger ships (8 battleship and about $4 cruisers).
The %ulrathi rarely use smaller (essels because they always seem cramped to them. The
%ulrathi respect A.Fs but ha(e no use for them in their own society.
Crynisti
The 1rynisti are a strange race they are a crystalline race, but are considered by most to be
Duite a beautiful one, they are normally purple in colour but there are occasionally some blue,
green and red ones. 1rynisti unlike the other crystalline species are as manoeu(rable as more
traditional species, and still ha(e some resistance to most energy5based weaponry.
They only ha(e 7 worlds but their fleet is Duite large (a battleship, 8 cruisers, and <9 lesser
(essels), making them a species not to be trifled with. The 1ommonwealth is currently in
negotiations with them about 0oining. The 1rynisti laws on A.Fs are identical to the
1ommonwealths.
Hadenman
These are humans that are so hea(ily modified cybernetically that they are (irtually a whole
new species based upon maximising the benefits of their cybernetic and biological
components.
They ha(e a couple of worlds and a handful of ships to call their own but mostly they li(e in
other ci(ilisations like the 1ommonwealth. A. laws are as per the 1ommonwealth.
Harvesters
The ar(esters are a strange speciesI 3ale skinned, creepy looking tentacled creature. ,ooks
like a cross between an octopus, sDuid, and cuttlefish. ;ith tentacles splayed, it has a
diameter of 4 ft. ;hen extended, itFs about $ ft long and > inches around. Each ma0or tentacle
is also $ ft long. .tFs in(ertebrate and hermaphroditic. They naturally communicate with one
another with rapid clicking and chirping, but they can control the (ocal systems of their hosts.
They are a sDuid5like being in their natural form about 4 feet in diameter with the legs spread
out. They take control of the recently dead bodies of other species by entering them. !nce
this is accomplished the ar(esters abilities allow the body to take extreme punishment
before falling. The ar(esters often board (essels with their young and kill and capture most
if not all of the crew.
ar(esters are intelligent but instinctual. Their racial modus operandi is to enter corpse, use
corpse to procreate, do stuff while in corpse, then eat their way out and go do it all o(er
again. They ha(e since figured that fresher bodies last longer, benefit more, and can e(en be
used more easily in the presence of the still li(ing. &pace tra(el merely amounts to allowing
them to reach greater areas. They do not de(elop technology of their own. They are parasitic
organisms and their psychology matches that of someone that only e(er uses what someone
else in(ents
The ar(esters worldFs locations and numbers are unknownI the ar(esters fleet si-e is
estimated to be at least 79 cruiser class (essels, maybe e(en more. )o known ar(ester ships
larger then a cruiser exist howe(er they may ha(e them. )o knowledge is known about
ar(ester laws on sentient beings at all let alone A.Fs, they donFt seem to ha(e any use for
them though.
Humans %$nimal Features&
These are humans that ha(e modified themsel(es to be so animal5like they can essentially be
classed a new species. They may or may not act like the animal they ha(e genetically
engineered themsel(es to be similar to.
They ha(e a couple of worlds and a handful of ships to call their own but mostly they li(e in
other ci(ilisations like the 1ommonwealth. A. laws are as per the 1ommonwealth.
Krai
:rai are a li-ard like species about <M5<F>M with bluish5green scales and (ery sharp claws and
a small tail, which they can use as a weapon. They ha(e a cobra5like head with neck frills.
Their most notable habit is the fact they will eat pretty much anything, their body can in fact
tolerate most toxins and can digest (irtually any form of food. The :rai like most li-ard5like
species suffer in cold temperatures due to their cold5blood.
:rai control four worlds and ha(e a decent si-ed fleet (about 8 cruisers plus 79 lesser
(essels). :rai attitudes to A.Fs are in general warm, but they rarely construct them themsel(es
and instead buy them from 1ommonwealth manufactories.
Lupines
The ,upines are a hea(ily built and furry race roughly human si-ed (<F>M5>F>M). They are
Duite strong and physically powerful. They are a honourable species and (ery rarely go back
on any of their bargains. They are fairly aggressi(e in nature to people they donFt know but
once you get to know them they are Duite kind and gentle as well.
The ,upines ha(e a small handful of planets > and ha(e a fairly large fleet (4 battleships, >
cruiser, 49 destroyers). ,upines use the same law as the 1ommonwealth when it comes to
A.Fs.
Lyrans
,yrans are another catlike species unlike the :itrians they see no need to pander to the
humanFs image of them. !n a(erage a ,yran is about the same si-e as a human (<F>M5>F>M)
but mass up to twice as much almost all of it muscle. ,yrans come in pretty much any fur
colour, and their eye colours are most often green or yellow. ,yrans are often reckless and
impatient howe(er they are also honourable and whene(er they make a deal they almost
always stick to it. ,yrans often surprise humans with un5catlike beha(iour howe(er ,yrans do
ha(e some specifically catlike tendencies.
,yrans control only a couple of worlds and only ha(e a relati(ely small fleet (about 4 cruisers
plus $> lesser (essels), but they are often underestimated, they are (ery dangerous in
hand5to5hand combat due to their incredible strength and agility. ,yrans refuse to use A.Fs
and ha(e no laws go(erning their status on ,yran worlds in general though they would
probably be treated as sentient beings.
Micto'
Mictok are an @5legged spider5like race they ha(e tough black carapaces but often paint
themsel(es with paint for decoration and to indicate ranks. The Mictok are capable of seeing
into the infra5red and can use any of their @ legs as arms they makes them extremely Duick at
performing certain task, howe(er few Mictoks can use more then two or three legs as arms at
a time. Their legs contain small claws allowing them to climb most surfaces easily. The
Mictok are normally ha(e a < foot long body that is about 4 foot in diameter and o(al shaped
with their small head at one end. Their legs are normally about 7 foot long.
The Mictok are a relati(ely peaceful race and as such only ha(e two worlds and a small but
focussed fleet (4 battleships and 8 cruisers). The Mictok ha(e an interesting set of rules
go(erning A.Fs. %ecause of the cost of construction A.Fs are classed as indebted to the
corporation that made them at their construction cost (which is fixed by the go(ernment), this
cost is paid off at a rate determined by consultation of a table the go(ernment created for the
paying off of debts, it can take anywhere between $ and $9 years depending on the type and
use of the A. for it to pay of itFs debts after that it is treated as a full citi-en. The constructing
corporation can of course wai(e this debt on the A. and free it immediately this is howe(er a
rare occurrence.
,e*ari
The )ebari are a humanoid species with grey skin about the same si-e as a normal human
(<F>M5>M>M), they are surprisingly resistant to most forms of mental control, torture, and
drugging. The )ebari culture and customs are pretty much unknown as they donFt let
outsiders land on their planets, they ha(e a starbase where all commercial transactions take
place. .t is thought that all )ebari not on their planets ha(e been exiled for some reason but
none of them talk about it.
The )ebari ha(e four planets and a Duite powerful fleet to protect them (8 battleships, $4
cruisers, 89 destroyers). )ebari laws on A.Fs are unknown.
,ietch-ean
)ietch-eans are a (ariant of humans that ha(e genetically engineered themsel(es. The
)ietch-eans ha(e only one real goal in life sur(i(al of them, of their family, and of their clan,
normally in that order. )ietch-eans are normally stronger, faster, tougher, and more resilient
to toxins and poisons then the a(erage human. They also all ha(e bone spines on their arms.
Any male )ietch-ean has pretty much one goal pro(e to a female )ietch-ean that he is
worthy, so he can start a family and become a father leading to his sur(i(al beyond his
current life. "onFt think this means the female )ietch-eans are in anyway weak or inferior in
anyway, they are as good as any male )ietch-ean and they normally go into battle side by
side. 'ntil the time when he is married a male )ietch-eanFs life is based upon being the best
at e(erything, once he is married his life is based upon the protection of his wife and children
e(en if that means the loss of his own life.
The )ietch-eans ha(e fi(e worlds and an exceptional fleet (< battleships, 49 cruisers, $99
destroyers, 899 frigates) particularly for such a small number of planets. The )ietch-eans do
belie(e they are superior beings and constantly consider conDuering known space but as long
as they can ha(e others do the dying for them they are willing to merely hold on to what they
ha(e. The )ietch-eans share the Mictok ha(e interesting set of rules go(erning A.Fs. %ecause
of the cost of construction A.Fs are classed as indebted to the corporation that made them at
their construction cost (which is fixed by the go(ernment), this cost is paid off at a rate
determined by consultation of a table the go(ernment created for the paying off of debts, it
can take anywhere between $ and $9 years depending on the type and use of the A. for it to
pay of itFs debts after that it is treated as a full citi-en. The constructing corporation can of
course wai(e this debt on the A. and free it immediately this is howe(er a rare occurrence.
,o.
The )ox are a highly ad(anced species, they are totally pacifistic with a human5like
appearance and are about <F5<F>M, howe(er that doesnFt endanger them as there doesnFt seem
to be any limits to the abilities of )ox technology.
The )ox ha(e one planet and while they seem to ha(e no fleet they ha(e ne(er been
successfully attacked. The )ox donFt seem to need or want A.Fs, they are howe(er treated as
sentient beings.
(rotoss
The 3rotoss are a highly psionic species they ha(e bluish skin and are about >F>M to ?F>M.
Buite a bit of their technology is based on their psionic abilities making the de(ices (irtually
worthless to anyone other then another psionic. As far as can be determined e(ery 3rotoss is
psionic. The 3rotoss ha(e a warrior culture and are always ready for (but not eager for) a
fight if it happens to turn up.
The 3rotoss ha(e 8 planets and ha(e $ dreadnaught and $4 cruisers as their fleet. The
dreadnaught has a special weapon that seems to combine, focus and pro0ect the 3rotossFs
psionic abilities across incredible distances. The specifics of the weapon are unknown but the
3rotoss ha(e ne(er been beaten in any battle where they used it. The 3rotoss use A.Fs in some
areas, they are always treated well and 3rotoss law defines them as sentient beings.
Silicoids
The &ilicoids are a silicon based life5form they are considered by most species to be Duite
ugly but since they dislike most other species this doesnFt really bother them, they normally
attack most other space5faring species and arenFt (ery welcoming to (isitors to their worlds.
They ha(e 49 worlds but only a small fleet to protect it ($9 cruisers, and 89 frigates), the only

As always there are some people that 0ust refuse to obey the law, or are forced through
circumstances to not obey it. This group only includes the formerI the latter are 0ust normal
people of their species, culture that happen to need to break the law occasionally. &mugglers
arenFt exactly 3irates, mainly because they a(oid (iolence where(er possible while &pace
3irates are in general highly (iolent and brutal people.
The largest group of these 3irates is a mixed band of human and alien species called the
%lood Moon clan, they ha(e multiple frigates, destroyers, a couple of cruisers and e(en a
battleship eDui(alent (about a do-en lesser ships welded together to form a misshapen but
Duite large (essel).
"he #thers
+ac'story
,ittle is known about the !thers, they started randomly attacking ships in space roughly 49
years ago. At this stage the location of their planets (if they e(en ha(e any) are unknown it is
presumed that they exist outside of known space. Their ships seem to be tougher, and ha(e
better weapons then eDui(alent (essels used by the other races. Although some ships ha(e
sur(i(ed being attacked by the !thers, no one has e(er actually seen what exactly they look
like.
=ecently (about a year ago) the !thers attacked and utterly wiped out (irtually the entire
population of a minor unaligned species that was limited to one planet. This race was known
as the +urions.
Fleet
!nly snippets are know about the !thers fleet in general in it made up of frigates, destroyers
and light cruisers, no cruiser or larger ships ha(e e(er been spotted howe(er with their better
armour and weaponry odds are anyone that did see such a ship would probably get
themsel(es blown up in short order.

The uni(ersal energies ha(e chosen a planet that sustains life. These 3lanetaurs are the mean
and unlike their cousins they are not naturally pulled by their planetFs influences and thusly
they are mostly stable. They take the form of their planet often with skin tones that of their
planet such as green and blue fur. They come in many shapes and si-es but they tend not to be

+urions are a species defined by their seething core of rage. This rage makes them

Furion )age

+urions can enter a ;arrior Trance, a state in which their physical strength, reflexes, and
combat skills are greatly enhanced. Entering the Trance reDuires a Turn of concentration, a
successful &imple ;illpower Task, and the expenditure of eight Essence 3oints. The Trance
lasts for the duration of a fight, or until the +urion decides that he would like to return to
normal (this howe(er reDuires an additional &imple ;illpower Task if he fails the trance
continues unabated). The Essence spent is not regained until the power is no longer acti(e.
Entranced +urions narrow their focus only to possible threats and ways to deal with those
threats. They gain H4 to all 3erception5based Tests or Tasks to detect mo(ement or noises that
might be dangerous (it is not a good idea to try to sneak up to a +urion, e(en if you are his
friend). Also, they temporarily gain a H4 to &trength, H$ to "exterity, and H7 to any combat
skills they know (this &trength increase does not affect their ,ife 3oints, howe(er). ;hile in
the trance they also gain a H8 to resist mental effects that try to control their minds and
pre(ent them attacking. Most poisons and tranDuili-ers are ineffecti(e against a +urion in a
;arrior Trance, howe(er once the trance is ended they take their full effect.
The down side to the Trance is the total concentration on combat and danger, which makes it
difficult for the +urions to deal with anything else. 3eople are grouped into allies and possible
or definite enemies. The first group is ignored (unless they mo(e threateningly) and the
second is dealt with summarily. All Tasks and Tests not directly related to combat or detecting
enemies ha(e a 57 penalty. Also the +urion risks lashing out at innocents, if somebody makes
a sudden mo(e within $9 feet (7 meters), the entranced +urion must pass a ;illpower and
3erception (unmodified by the +urion =age bonuses) Test, or he attacks that person, if the
+urion doesnFt attack the person they immediately exit the trance.

Jou ha(e a port that connects your brain or datacore directly to computer systems. This
lets you use computers at the speed of thought as well as allowing you access to any (irtual
reality programs, like the Matrix. !n rare occasions, this feature is also made wireless, in
which case you can access anything that allows wireless accessXmore freDuently, a store
bought module can be connected to the port that offers wireless capability..
Jou can plug into 6acked eDuipment, including most computers, ships, and some

Energy Shielding
Eariable 3ower
Jou ha(e an integrated ablati(e shield built into your chassis. .t has the uniDue ability to
soak up damaging forces, including kinetic energy and high temperature effects, including
plasma and lasers. owe(er, the generator can only take so much before it shuts down to cool
off and recalibrate.
Ablati(e energy shielding has an Armor Ealue and a "amage 1apacity. .t costs $
character point for e(ery 7 AE or $9 "1, though the maximum number of points spent to
acDuire AE is three times your 1onstitution. Most damage sources apply against the shielding
before your armor and personXincluding bullets, explosions, and lasersXbut certain attacks
may be able to bypass the shielding or be particularly ineffecti(e. ;hen your "amage
1apacity is exhausted, the shield collapses. The "1 is regenerated at a rate of $ per minute
while online, or < per minute while offlineI you can pay double the 3ower maintenance cost
to regenerate "1 while online.
"eflecti(e energy shielding reduces the energy of an incoming attack by reducing damage
die si-e and "amage Multiplier. .t costs 4 character points per le(el. Each le(el in this Duality
reduces the die si-e of the incoming attack by one step (down to d>), each le(el beyond that
reduces the "amage Multiplier by one step. ,ike the basic energy shielding, certain attacks
may be able to bypass the shielding or be particularly ineffecti(e.
3assi(e energy shielding has an Armor Ealue and consumes power to duplicate "amage
1apacity. .t costs $ point for e(ery 7 Armor Ealue. .t costs $ point to absorb damage at the
rate of $ 3ower for 7 damageI 7 points to absorb at the rate of $ 3ower for < damageI and <

until the 3ower is exhausted.
.t takes $9 3ower to acti(ate the shielding, and 4 3ower per minute thereafter. 3assi(e
energy shielding consumes 4 3ower for e(ery hour, and if depleted, consumes 4 3ower to
reacti(ate.

Robot Construction Rules
Artificial .ntelligence
They do not ha(e a body, nor will they e(er encounter any other foe that might possibly
ha(e a body. &o, in effect, they ha(e 54 &, 54 ", 54 1. &ince all A.s start with the attribute
points, it would make sense to reduce the attribute point allotment, by >. %ut, thatFs a little
harsh. &o, the reduction should be 5<.
The A. is a computer entity, and reDuires a computer system from which to operate. This
computer system would be the central location of the A., and if it loses power, the A. ceases
to be until it regains power. The area that it can normally affect is restricted to the intranet of
the site that contains its core system. This area is probably something like a business park.
%eyond that, it is entirely capable of operating remote drones, though it must concentrate.
owe(er, because itFs a computer, it should be able to process a lot more simultaneously than
a normal person. They should ha(e an anchor, a core location to which it is entirely bound.
owe(er, it should be reali-ed that, although it cannot actually lea(e that location, it does
ha(e freedom on par with a housebound person with complete internet and communications
freedom. This makes the drawback of ha(ing an anchor not Duite as se(ere as it could be. .t
probably e(en has a (isual a(atar of its own choosing or creation to represent itself as it
explores the internet. This e(en allows the A. the ability to hack other locations, but only
from its anchor. This will probably pre(ent it from getting into certain secure intranets that
must be accessed by hacking a hard line. 2ranted, most A.s would ha(e enough knowledge to
create proxy ser(ers and other sorts of location baffling tricks to a(oid immediate detection,
or learn to do so fairly Duickly. This also assumes that the A. in Duestion has internet access.
The standard A. is not programmed to ha(e emotions of any sort, and, despite the neural
network functionality of the A., it doesnFt come with any innate sense of fear. &o, it would be
Emotionless and ha(e )er(es of &teelI though not e(en supernatural horror would be enough
to in(oke any sort of actual fear. They should, howe(er, be able to be artistically creati(e, so .
donFt need to integrate the Talentless drawback, though it might be said that they cannot
include the same LsoulM that a true artist can. .n fact, they probably couldnFt take the Artistic
Talent Duality.
&ince they ha(e no body, they also donFt ha(e ,3, E3, or &peed, and since they are
artificial sentiences, they also donFt get Essence. )or can they acDuire or learn special powers
like psionics or cybernetic upgrades. They can only affect the outside world with remotes or
(ia internet. !f course, they might acDuire an A(atar, in which case they are able to mo(e
about and lea(e their anchor, but are entirely trapped in the body of the A(atar. !r, more
accurately, they cannot go anywhere that their datacore cannot go. And, if the datacore is left
freely exposed, itFs also possible for a talented programmer to tinker with it.

)indcurrent
This power (also known as electrokinesis) con(erts the inner strength of the sub0ect into
electrical energy. The psychic character may then attempt to power an electrical de(ice, fry
sensiti(e electronics, fire off a bolt of lightning, or create a protecti(e sheath of electrical
energy around his body. 1ontrolling such an unpredictable force as raw electricity is always
dangerous, and the electrokinetic character must beware of failed Task rolls, lest they cause
an unwanted effect or e(en backlash against himY
7sing Mindcurrent
Mindcurrent Tasks use ;illpower and the Mindcurrent Art. .f the Task is successful, the
psychic can choose whether to charge/empower, magnetise/disrupt or -ap (with a lightning
bolt) a target within line of sight. .f the Task fails, the character must make a simple
;illpower Test, subtracting the amount by which the Task failed (i.e. A minus the modified
Task roll). .f the Test succeeds, the desired effect simply does not manifestI if it fails, roll a
"> to see which effect actually occurs ($54 V charge/empower, 758 V magnetise/disrupt, <5> V
-ap). .f the result is the same as that intended by the &eer, then the nearest alternati(e target
(which might be himself) is the recipient of the effect instead.

roll randomly or toss a coin to see whether attraction or repulsion results. An attempt to
magnetise an electrical de(ice will cause the magnetic energy to drain into the de(iceFs

Arcs of electrical energy or lightning bolts inflict the listed damage if they succeed in hitting
the target using a Mindcurrent Art H "exterity Task, which can be dodged. Armour protects

7sing Mindcurrent De2ensively

)indhac
1omputer hacking is a skill in its own right. Mindhack enhances the skill of the hacker both
by pro(iding intuiti(e shortcuts (e.g. guessing the correct password from 4<,999 possible
combinations) and by forming a bridge to systems that are physically impossible to reach by
con(entional means. Mindhackers may often not e(en be consciously aware of their gift but
will nonetheless ha(e the reputation among their peers as LeliteM and as ha(ing a natural
talent for hacking.
7sing Mindhac'
A Mindhacker adds his Mindhack Art le(el to his 1omputer acking skill when attempting
any feat of computer hacking, pro(ided the system targeted is within the range dictated by his
Mindhack &trength le(el. 1omputer hacking tasks can be unresisted, passi(ely resisted or
acti(ely resisted.
'nresisted is where the system targeted is Lout of the boxM, with standard configurations and
such protections as are routinely supplied with it. ackers take such measures in their stride
since their specifications are so widely known. 3assi(ely resisted is where there has been an
effort to pro(ide further protection to the system, in the form of either a sysadmin
strengthening the security configuration or the installation an Loff5the5shelfM security product.
3assi(e resistance allows for the sysadmin or system owner to resist the hacking attempt
using half his .ntelligence H 1omputer acking (or those of the creator in the case of a
purchased security product). Mindhack cannot enhance the effecti(eness of passi(e
resistance.
Acti(ely resisted is where a sysadmin is acti(ely using the system at the time that the hacking
attempt takes place. +irstly the sysadmin is entitled to a roll to resist the hackerFs attempt to
go undetected. .f alerted, the sysadmin is then able to acti(ely resist all further efforts of the
hacker and can e(en attempt to counter5hack (i.e. trace the hacker back to its source and/or
compromise the system from which the hacking attempt arose).
!f course, the sysadmin could 0ust choose to switch off or disconnect the targeted system, but
there are times when this is not practical (e.g. a ma0or go(ernment database or finance
system) and times when the sysadmin may be hoping to identify the intruder by keeping him
online. A sysadmin with Mindhack can add his Mindhack Art le(el to his 1omputer acking
skill le(el when resisting hacking attempts but can only use Mindhacking to counter5hack if
the intruderFs home system is within the range dictated by his Mindhack &trength le(el.

that work on psychic powers.
Decay
>5point 3ower
This power causes inanimate matter to break down. .t inflicts "$9 (<) points of damage per
Essence 3oint spent to an ob0ect. The range of this attack is 49 yards (meters) times the
3erception and ;illpower of the character. The damage manifests itself as accelerated wear
and tear, crumbling or rusting. A machine or engine that loses one half of its "amage
1apacity from this attack ceases to function, as enough critical components ha(e been
damaged or destroyed to pre(ent it from working properly. .f enough damage is inflicted to
destroy the ob0ect, it crumbles into dust. The power has no effect on li(ing beings.
Com*at "isdom
<5point 3ower
%y obser(ing an enemy with a critical eye, the 3lanetaur can disco(er weaknesses in his
defenses that may be exploited. This ability works best in hand5to5hand combat. After two
Turns of combat, the character can try to gauge the enemyFs strengths and shortcomings. This
costs $9 Essence 3oints and uses a 3erception and Manifestation &kill Task. Each &uccess
,e(el gi(es the character a H4 to all attack and defense Tasks against that particular enemy,
for the duration of the fight.
Sagacity
Eariable 3ower

Soul Sight
>5point 3ower
1haracters with this power can read the minds of others. This powers shares a number of
characteristics with Mindsight (see p. 47$), but is not identical. To use &oul &ight, the
character must make eye contact, and spend two Essence 3oints per le(el of ;illpower of the
sub0ect (i.e., trying to see the thoughts of a character with a ;illpower 8 would cost eight
points). A 3erception and Manifestation &kill Task is attemptedI use the Mindsight Art Table
(see p. 474) to determine how much information the character can glean in an attempt.
3rolonged mind reading is possible, but the Essence cost must be paid, and the Task
attempted, e(ery Turn. The &uccess ,e(els of those Tasks can be combined to pro(ide for
deeper examination of the sub0ect. .f one Task is failed, howe(er, the &uccess ,e(els from all
pre(ious Tasks are lost and the character has to start o(er. This power is resisted 0ust like
Mindsight.
"ise Choice
45point 3ower
&ometimes, when someone is about to make a mistake, an inner (oice warns them 0ust in
time. .t may take a while to figure out what the characterFs instincts are saying, but once he
does he rarely faults his own 0udgment. The 1hronicler takes on the role of the characterFs
instincts, warning him of a possible error or dangerous choice. The player then needs to
figure out what the problem is, although the 1hronicler might add a few hints (extra
experience should be awarded to players who can figure things out with no help). The
warning drains the character of $ Essence 3oint, but no
Task is necessary.

Laser
All laser weapons default with A3 4 and "amage Type Multiplier ("TM) of x4. The %last of

homeworld and can be charged with essence they are howe(er unknown anywhere else in the

weaponryI this will gi(e a H$ to the damage multiplier (&T for melee or the x< for the rifle)
for the attack (s) (max of the existing multiplier additional damage can be added). The 3si
pistol can fire 7 shots per essence and get the bonus from essence boosting on a 75shot basis.
The 3si rifle has multiple effects that it can produce (these are listed after the 3si =ifle in the

These grenades are primarily used to destroy equipment rather than
personnel. When the grenade ignites, it heats up to 4,! " for 4
seconds, more than enough to burn through half an inch of steel and fuse
any mo#ing metal parts together. $t also ignites %ammables within a
two&yard radius and ignites anything in contact with it, including armour.
$ncendiary grenades produce their own o'ygen and will burn underwater.
Smo'e
(mo)e grenades release a large cloud of coloured smo)e. The speed at
which the smo)e is blown around depends on the strength of the wind.
*ssuming at most a light bree+e, the grenade will form a thic) cloud of
smo)e , to ,- yards long in about f#e Turns. This grenade is used for
signalling and for creating co#er. $ts e.ecti#eness is se#erely reduced with
#ery strong winds. $n a windless situation, as inside a building, the smo)e
will rapidly fll the enclosed area, ma)ing #ision nearly impossible and
breathing di/cult.
Stun
*lso )nown as %ash&bang grenades, these small e'plosi#es produce a
brilliant %ash of light and a deafening bang. *nyone within three yards 0,
yards in an enclosed area1 of the impact must ma)e a 2onsciousness Test
with a 34 modifer or become disoriented, su.ering a 35 penalty to all
actions for 64 041 Turns. Ta)ing precautions, such as loo)ing away or
co#ering ears, may grant a 78 to 74 bonus. 2ombustibles within the
immediate area may be ignited. "lash&bangs are usually cylindrical in
shape to allow them to be rolled into a room or down a hallway.
3ear Gas
There are se#eral #ariations, but most of them immediately cause
coughing, cho)ing, and a burning sensation in the eyes and sensiti#e
tissues of the sub9ect. :ach canister;grenade dispenses enough gas to
a.ect e#eryone within a f#e&yard radius. *nyone within must hold their

Lasegun
The standard lasegun design is 49 cm long, with a $9 cm handle. The battery pack slides into
the grip like the maga-ine in more archaic chemical ballistic weapons. Tech le(el usually
determines ammo capacity. At the beginning stages, it e(en reDuires people to wear bulky
battery packs on their backs. As energy storage e(ol(es, the power pack shrinks.
Laseri2le
The laserifle is the shortest rifle of the future series, demonstrating the ability to miniaturi-e
weapon capability. The gun is about the si-e of an archaic carbine and is known to ha(e itFs
own power pack, or e(en a double pack that uses the same batteries as laseguns.
(ulse Laseri2le
The laser pulse rifle is $@9 cm long and a little hea(ier than the laserifle. This gun is the
model weapon used by the military. .t fires Ldouble shotsM, a super high intensity beam that
penetrates armour, and a secondary, lower intensity beam that disrupts all manner of matter. .
like to describe this is a shimmering beam. .tFs not actually a stream like the plasma guns, but
the rate of fire makes it look like it.
Lasecannon
,asecannons are usually (ehicle5mounted assemblies that reDuire a huge amount of power to
fire high intensity beams on par with archaic tank weapons. ,asecannons that are mounted on
(ehicles often has fibre optic guidance systems, or at least a camera to allow the operator to
aim the gun freely. The thing that makes ,asecannons the fa(oured weapon is that they fire
the fastest of the future series cannons. 3ortable (ersion often includes a strap and
counterweight system to allow the soldiers to fire, and almost in(ariably include fibre optic
aiming systems connecting to the soldierFs helmet and (isor.
(lasma Gun
The plasma gun design has a 4< cm length, with a $4.< cm handle. There is a flash/splash
guard 0ust behind the mu--le in case of plasma and coolant splashes. The power pack clips
along the back angle, where the hammer would be in an archaic gun, into the entire grip
assembly, and halfway across the barrel length. The power pack is mostly fla(our, . try to
make it seem like it needs more energy. !f course, feel free to simply make the power packs
uni(ersal.
(lasma )i2le
The plasma rifle is $@@ cm in length and sports a large splash guard and sophisticated sight
mechanism. )one of the plasma weapons e(er ha(e infrared cameras due to the interference
of the plasma round itself.
(lasma Cannon
,ike the ,asecannon, the plasma cannon is usually mounted on (ehicles. owe(er, more
often than not, plasma cannons are mounted on powered armour and (ery small mecha for
Lclose DuartersM combat, usually in urban en(ironments. The portable (ersion also en0oys
counterweights, splashguard, fibre5optic aiming systems and the whole nine yards.
.ncidentally, e(eryone seems to ha(e forgotten, in the future, what that phrase means.
Gauss Gun
The gauss gun is the largest of the handguns at 89 cm in length with a $? cm handle. The
Lmaga-ineM is inserted through the bottom of the handle and sports an ingenious battery pack
built in to fuel the accelerators. This inno(ation came about largely because there was no
need for a propellant charge, though earlier models did ha(e a small amount to get the
pro0ectile mo(ing.
Gauss )i2le
"espite the superior penetrating power of gauss weaponry, the pistol is usually the only
weapon used by soldiers in any army. The accelerators in the rifle reDuire an immense
amount of space for futuristic weapons, demanding a $@A cm gun length, $>< cm of which is
barrel length. The weapon is fairly light, howe(er, considering its immense si-e. The sheer
length of the weapon relegates it to sniper and sharpshooter usage. The power and ammo
packs are usually used separately for this gun, as a power pack can fuel around $99 shots,
whereas the maga-ine usually contains around 49 fin5stabili-ed, discarding sabot bullets.
Gauss Mortar Cannon
Again, demonstrating the problem with gauss weapons, the sheer length of the gauss mortar
cannon exceeds practical portable usage. .t is easily 4@9 cm long and reDuires a hea(y battery
and coil system to fire the immensely thick 89mm mortars that it uses. +ortunately, the
counterweight system does its 0ob well, allowing it to be used with impunity in areas that
offer the wielder the freedom to mo(e. +or fla(our, this baby is bolt actionY +eel free to
change it to anything else, of course. Also note that if the mortar hits something before point
blank range, it will not detonate.
Smart Scattergun
There is something about shotguns that makes people lo(e them, especially when they launch
buckshot shells at gauss speeds that detonate a fraction of a second before impact, affording
the shell the precision and power of a bullet with the terrifying reality of buckshot. The gun
fires a smart round with a built in rangefinder that primes the shell to detonate before it hits
the target. This allows the gun to ha(e the best of shotguns and rifles. &ome models are
drum5fedI others sport internal and external maga-ines.
$ssault Launcher
This grenade launching system fires 49mm grenades (with all the power of a 89mm grenade)
in the handy drum5fed shotgun shape. )eedless to say, itFs e(ery effecti(e at filing an area
with any (ariety of grenades, as well as making a (ery cruel, direct fire, weapon. The gauss
launching system generally fires shells at much slower (elocity than the other weapons. Also,
the gun sports a rangefinder that allows the shooter to preset the distance that the shell will
detonate, allowing the shooter to simply fire in the general area of a target and still maintain
combat effecti(eness.
(ulse )i2le
This beast of a weapon fires EA3+&"& (high explosi(e, armour piercing, fin stabili-ed,
discarding sabotT smart, caseless rounds. .tFs the only chemical ballistic weapon used and the
propellant is a nano5engineered chemical that affords the rounds superior stability and
firepower. The latest and greatest recoil management systems make the 3ulse =ifle one of the
scariest weapons around. 3ulse =ifles almost always ha(e an underbarrel grenade launcher
mounted on them.
Smart Gun
This beast of a weapon fires EA3+&"& (high explosi(e, armour piercing, fin stabili-ed,

detonate 0ust within flesh, or pass through a significant amount of meat before detonating.
"ue to the LsmartM aspect of the bullets and gun itself, the wielder gets H4 to &trike Tasks
when using the &mart 2un. E(ery &uccess ,e(el indicates 4 bullets hit, instead of the normal

Stun +aton
A hand stunner is a small self5defense weapon that deli(ers an electrical shock through
contact with the two small metal probes. The intended (ictim must make a "ifficult
1onstitution Test to a(oid being stunnedI if stunned, she remains so for as long as the weapon
is in contact and "> (7) additional Turns. The hand stunner is powered by an integral
rechargeable batteryI essentially, it has unlimited ammo.
(oint o2 (ercussion
The Lpoint of percussionM designator refers to the cyclic motion of the ultrasonic generators.
The motion of the (ibrations is perpendicular to the blade, gi(ing it a 0ackhammer effect.
;hen combined with a hea(ier weapon, this allows the + swords the ability to clea(e
through armour with superior efficacy to the LslasherM series. They take their names from the
=oman weapons. The design element, in this case, was to increase A3, but otherwise keep the
original weapon inspiration (with H$ to the damage die and H$ to &T).
Mono2ilament Edge
This special blade has a power5cell that when acti(ated makes the edge of the blade a single
atom wideI this allows it to cut through (irtually any armour, shields howe(er are still
effecti(e. =eDuires $ power per turn it is in acti(ation common power cells hold between 49
and $99 power.
(lasma S!ords
These swords when acti(ated ha(e blades of pure plasma this allows them to cause a lot of
damage unfortunately their power cells are depleted Duite rapidly and last between < and 4<
turns. These ha(e a higher dice class then high freDuency weapons of the same type as well as
A37 and an x7 "amage Type Modifier.
Slashing
The LslashingM designator refers to the cyclic motion of the ultrasonic generators. The motion
of the (ibrations is parallel to the blade, gi(ing it a wicked chain saw cutting power. The
design of the L&lasherM series generally matches scimitar and katana due to the cur(e and the
pro(en efficacy of it in weapons across history. The design element, in this case, was to
increase the die type and the &T bonus. (The katana didnFt change because . couldnFt 0ustify
dealing d$4 with it. %ut the waki-ashi does deal more damage than it otherwise should.)
Arguably, one could insist that the A3 should match the 3o3 series if the weapon is used for a
piercing attack.
Dir'
!ne of the older models of the igh +reDuency weapons is the Ldirk.M Though not exactly an
accurate moniker, it sees a great deal of use as a tool. The cyclic motion of the blade is
necessarily parallel to the blade. The blade point is determines the precise nature of the
weaponFs purpose, LstilettoM model supports superior armour piercing ability though deals
little damage, whereas the LtantoM series has a sharp, chisel point and sees a great deal of
usage as a tool that combines the efficacy of 3o3 and &lasher series, at the cost of being
somewhat impractical in combat.

Ground 8ehicle Com*at
Most (ehicle combat (with the rare exception of ramming attacks) in(ol(es ranged weapons.
These attacks range from people with guns firing from the inside of a (ehicle to complex
weapon systems like missiles or laser5aimed cannon.
Shooting From 8ehicle
+iring from a mo(ing platform with hand weapons has a base penalty of 57, with another 54 if
the (ehicle is mo(ing faster than 79 mph (8< kph).

(8< kph), otherwise there in no penalty. This doesnFt count for (essels engage in combat in
space.
Dodging
Most military (ehicles cannot dodge attacksI they are too big and too slow. ,ighter (ehicles
such as motorcycles and car5si-ed targets may attempt to dri(e fast enough to a(oid an attack.
This is treated like a =esisted Task, with the targetFs "exterity and "ri(ing/3iloting skill plus
the (ehicles andling (ersus the attackerFs "exterity and ;eapon skill plus Accuracy (if the
weapon has some form of Accuracy bonus). !ccasionally ;eapon skill may be replaced by a
fixed bonus if you let a targeting computer do your aiming for you.
$ir Com*at
Air combat in(ol(es a highly complex set of manoeu(res, where the ability to see or sense
the target is as important as the ability to destroy it. To reflect air combat accurately would
reDuire so many rules as to make the game pretty much impossible to play. .nstead, we
present a few cinematic rules for fast and furious air combat.
Dog 2ighting
This type of combat was a lot more common in the days before guided missiles, when pilots
were able to see the enemy through their gun sights. .n the age of smart weapons and
fire5and5forget missiles, aerobatics at close range is pretty much a lost art. "og5fighting
combat is a =esisted Task, using the "exterity and 3iloting &kill of the two combatants. .f
one aircraft has a higher andling rating than the other, add the difference between the two to
the more manoeu(rable (essel. &ituational Awareness adds H4 to the TaskI +ast =eaction
Time adds H$. The winner manages to get on the targetFs LsixM (six oFclock, right behind it)
and can shoot it.
(laying Chic'en
This occurs when two aircraft fly at each other, firing and seeing who turns away (or is
destroyed) first. The two aircraft can fire at each other for one or two Turns, depending on
their speed and weapon range. .f neither ship is destroyed, the two characters engage in a
=esisted ;illpower TestI )er(es of &teel bonuses apply. The loser turns away, and the winner
can now engage him with impunity for one Turn.
Space Com*at
&pace combat is resol(ed as per Air 1ombat, the only exception one or both the ships can
extend the 3laying 1hicken by not mo(ing their ship, this howe(er gi(es them a W4 for dodge
rolls. They can extend it e(en further by mo(ing backwards at half speed, this will reduce the
penalty to W$ for dodge rolls.

Module &i-e for all Modules listed in the Module section is in blocks in the format ,ength

Jou can make any small weapon module ($x$x$) external but this makes them extremely
(ulnerable to enemy fire (and for missile weapons which are explosi(e dangerous for you).
Mechanically, you can take a W7 and target the weapon instead, the damage capacity of small
modules is $99 therefore that much damage will destroy the weapon. .f it is (olatile it will
explode causing its full damage to the craft. A similar rule to this exists for Mecha with hands
that wield weapons.
!nce a proper scan has been performed you can target a specific component. Mechanically,
you can take a W7 and target the system instead, the damage capacity of modules is $99 per
block (unless otherwise stated) therefore that much damage will cripple the system. .f it is

docking itself is unnecessary as long as the two ships are close enough together and the
2ap5capable ship extends his field to include the other ship). The 0ump calculations for this
kind of 0ump takes twice as long and gi(es a W4 penalty to the )a(igation roll. The 0ump is
also shorterI add the 2ap5capable ships blocks, plus all the non52ap5capable ships blocks
times by 4 (if docked and @ if not). Jou then factor this in as the new block total and get from
it the new 0ump distance per 0ump (e(en if this number is _$ the 0ump is still possible as long
as the base .nterstellar speed was $ or more).
Detecting Cloa'ed#7ncloa'ed Ships
To detect a cloaked ship you roll, $d$9 H 3erception H &ensor skill, at a W4 for basic sensors,
at H9 for ad(anced or better plus any bonuses from the sensor itself. Add situational modifiers
for distance to the roll (using the below table). The cloaked ship rolls $d$9 H .ntelligence H
1loaking &kill H 1loaking de(ice bonus (H &tealth Armour bonus if any). .f the ship trying to
detect wins the resisted task it picks up the cloaked ship, howe(er all attack rolls are still at
W4 til the cloaking de(ice is turned off. +or uncloaked ships the rolls are slightly different to
detect the ship roll $d$9 H 3erception H &ensor skill, at a 9 for basic sensors, at H4 for
ad(anced or better plus any bonuses from the sensor itself. Add situational modifiers for
distance to the roll (using the below table). The ship trying to hide rolls $d$9 (H &tealth
Armour bonus if any), additional bonuses should be applied for any situational modifiers
such as high background radiation le(el, asteroid fields, etc. Again if the ship trying to detect
wins it detects the ship attempting to hide, all attack rolls are performed as normal.
