INTRODUCTION

The Froniter

This science fiction setting is desinged to give the players a certain type of feeling - a frontier feeling. Although there are pockets of technological advanced areas in the frontier there are still areas to be tammed. The players are alone against the galaxy, they explore, have encounters and are challenged along the way. 

In the frontier resources can be few and far between. Players are not ablet to pick up energy packs at the store before exploring a remote moon jungle - they must bring gear with them. Innovation and creativity are what helps your character succeed in the frontier. 

The froniter is full of action and adventure, your character is the mover and shaker of events that can be far reaching or localized. They will be men of renown, engaging the forces of evil or creatures of might. 

The frontier is gritty. Gear is not shiny and new, it's used and sometimes held together with ingenuity and welding tape. Characters will find themselves getting dirty, equipment that fails from lack of cleaning and everywhere scratches and dents after a few excursions into the out lands. 

The frontier is a place of isolation. Communications are in hours instead of seconds between star systems. Although the frontier has a very dense star population, travel between star systems is in days, sometimes weeks. 

The Worlds

The frontier is a densly packed portion of the galaxy. Dozens of planets have major settlements on them while dozens more are outposts or have yet to be discovered. 

The races were plucked from around the galaxy and deposited here, nobody knows how or why. No one planet is "owned" by a race, rather each planet is co-populated. Most worlds are owned by corporations.

Space Travel

Space Vehicles

These types of ships are powered by sublight engines and are used in-system. They do not have the capability to travel between star systems. Most space vehicles can enter an atmosphere, land and take off again. 

Spaceships

Travelling between the stars requires a spaceship equipped with a hyperdrive. 

Hyperdrive Technology

Navbouys
Hyperdrive can be engaged fairly close to planets and other gravatational wells.
