Nanos
Nanos are microscopic machines rhar are designed for a specific purpose. Nanos
rhar are designed for one skill can nor Le used for somerhing else virhour exrensive
reprogramming. This rype of reprogramming requires a Nanorech skill level of ar
leasr 30.
Nanos also have very shorr lives, usually only a couple of rounds. This is ro

much more expensive.) These rypes of decisions should Le made Ly rhe game masrer
Lefore rhe game Legins, Lecause as soon as characrers can srarr using nanos, rhey're
going ro vanr ro ger rheir hands on rhem some hov.
In order ro use nanos, a characrer musr have a cerrain nanorech skill score. Any

Nano Shell Nano Shell Nano Shell Nano Shell: These nanos creare a shell rhar covers rhe recipienr. When encased in a
nano shell, rhe characrer receives a +4 defense Lonus, and also receives +4 on any
checks againsr orher nanos or CyLer Wizard spells. These nanos only lasr for ren
minures.
in Nanorech.
Nano Shield Nano Shield Nano Shield Nano Shield: These nanos creare a misr rhar encircles a characrer. While rhey're
encircling a characrer, rhar characrer is complerely immune ro any arracks. Hovever,
rhe characrer can nor arrack anyone else, as any veapon vould also Le encased in rhe

Foison Foison Foison Foison: These nanos are prerry self-explanarory. They're designed ro kill or vound
someone Ly poisoning rhem. A game masrer could decide rhar a poison has ro Le
specific ro rhe anaromy of a specific kind of species.
When Foison Nanos are adminisrered, rhe game masrer or characrer rolls one six
sided die for each level rhe Foison Nanos have. The roll is rhen compared ro rhe
vicrim's endurance. If rhe Foison numLer is higher, rhe nanos damage is compured Ly
raking rhe difference in rhe rvo rolls and mulriplying ir Ly rhe level of rhe nano. For
example, if an opposing Diplomar arracks James' Lav Enforcer virh a level rhree
poison nano, rhe Diplomar rolls rhree six sided dice. His roll is a 12, and James'
characrer's endurance is only a 10. The difference Lerveen rhe rvo rolls is 2, and rhe
level of rhe poison is 3, rhus 2 X 3=6. James' characrer suffers 6 poinrs of damage in
rhe firsr minure. These rolls are done each minure for four minures, afrer rhar, rhe
Foison Nano Lecomes inerr. If a characrer's Endurance Lears rhe roll of rhe poisoning

Tissue Earing Tissue Earing Tissue Earing Tissue Earing: These nanos are used ro desrroy rhe rissues of a crearure. A game
masrer could decide rhar Tissue Earing Nanos are designed ro effecr only one rype of
crearure.
When Tissue Earing Nanos are adminisrered, rhe game masrer or characrer rolls one
six sided die for each level of rhe Tissue Earing Nanos. The roll is rhen compared ro
rhe vicrim's endurance. If rhe Tissue Earing numLer is higher rhe nanos do one six
sided die of damage per poinr difference. Using rhe same rolls as in rhe Foison Nanos
descriprion, rhis rime rhe opposing Diplomar vould roll rvo six sided dice ro
derermine hov much damage his characrer did ro James' characrer. Thus rhe possiLle
damage vould Le 2-12 poinrs. These rolls are done once each minure for rhree

Transference Duplicaring Transference Duplicaring Transference Duplicaring Transference Duplicaring: These nanos can duplicare many of rhe rransferences from
rhe Nanisr's rransference lisr. The acrual rransferences rhar can Le duplicared are up
ro rhe game masrer, and any nanos lisred in rhis secrion of rhis Look, should nor Le
included in rhis rype of nano. For example, rhe poison rransference can nor Le
duplicared Ly rhis rransference, as rhere is already a poison nano.
Wharever rransferences are alloved, rhe cosr for purchasing rhese nanos vill Le 1000
credirs for each level of rhe rransference. Also, a characrer musr have 5 poinrs in
Nanorech for every level of rhe rransference rhar rhese nanos are designed ro

Trurh: Trurh: Trurh: Trurh: The Trurh nano is a very poverful nano. When adminisrered ro someone, rhar
person musr rell rhe rrurh ro any quesrion rhey're asked. For game purposes, rhe
game masrer should have rhe person under rhe influence of rhese nanos roll rvo six-
sided dice. To rhis roral rhey should add rheir Endurance modifier. In order ro lie
under rhe influence of Trurh Nanos, a characrer's modified roll musr Le 12 or higher.
If rhey roll less rhan 12, rhey have ro rell rhe rrurh.
Vaccines: Vaccines: Vaccines: Vaccines: There are a variery of Vaccine nanos. Each is designed ro fend off a specific
illness, virus, or Lacreria. Ir rypically rakes one veek for any of rhe vaccines ro rake

CyLernerics
CyLernerics are mechanical or roLoric implanrs rhar are fused virh a crearure's
Lody. Because of rhe exrensive amounr of surgery, and rhe rrauma caused Ly rhe
implanrarion of cyLernerics, any implanr requires a saniry check once ir's complere.
The saniry check is done Ly rolling rhe numLer of dice specified in rhe descriprion,
and comparing rhar numLer ro rhe characrer's Saniry arrriLure. If rhe rolled numLer
is equal ro or less rhan rhe arrriLure score, rhen rhe surgery has Leen a success. If a
cyLerneric implanr fails, rhen rhe implanr doesn'r vork and rhe characrer
permanenrly loses one poinr of saniry. Flus, rhey're our rhe credirs rhey spenr ro ger
rhe implanr in rhe firsr place, and quire possiLly rhe credirs rhey used ro pay for rhe
surgery.
The prices lisred are jusr for rhe cyLerneric devices. If a characrer needs ro hire
someone ro perform rhe surgery, rhen rhe price for rhar service vill generally Le rhe
same as rhe price for rhe cyLerneric device, alrhough rhe game masrer can alrer rhar
price depending on a lor of facrors.
As vould proLaLly Le expecred, many culrures vill viev cyLernerics as an
aLominarion. As a resulr, rhey mighr Le illegal in some sysrems.or perhaps a species
vill rule rhar rhey're a religious crime. Those decisions are up ro rhe game masrer,
and rhose decisions vill grearly influence rhe price of having rhe cyLernerics
implanred.
The raLle Lelov gives a parrial lisring of cyLerneric implanrs rhar could Le
availaLle in a game. This lisr is far from complere, and rhe game masrer should feel
free ro add more as rhey see fir. Frices and saniry check rolls should Le comparaLle ro
vhar is already on rhis raLle.
The raLle shovs rhe name of rhe cyLerneric implanr, rhe price, hov many saniry

Belov are complere lisrings for all of rhe veapons. Some of rhe veapons have very
special aLiliries or limirarions rhar musr Le raken inro accounr during comLar.

Arrack Wand Arrack Wand Arrack Wand Arrack Wand: A favored veapon of anyone rhar mighr need ro rry ro suLdue people,
rhe arrack vand is a one merer long cluL rhar has an elecrronic charge ro ir. When
used as a cluLLing veapon, rhe damage facror is .5, Lur rhe vand can also Le used ro
srun opponenrs. If a characrer scores a hir virh an arrack vand, rhey roll one six
sided die for each poinr of damage rhey inflicr on an opponenr (rounded dovn.) This
numLer is compared ro rhe opponenr's Endurance score. If rhe numLer is higher rhan
rhe opponenr's Endurance score rhen rhey are srunned for one minure.
Axe Axe Axe Axe: An axe is usually a handheld veapon, alrhough ir is possiLle ro have rhroving
axes as vell. These veapons are exrremely primirive, and vill usually only Le used
on lov rech vorlds, or in an environmenr vhere an axe could Le used as more rhan
jusr a veapon.such as a jungle environmenr.
Bov Bov Bov Bov: Bovs vill differ from species ro species, due ro differenr anaromies, Lur in
general, a Lov is a vooden shafr virh a srring (or some orher suLsrance) from vhich
arrovs can Le launched. These are primirive veapons, and vill usually only Le used
on lov rech vorlds.
CluL CluL CluL CluL: The cluL is perhaps rhe mosr primirive of veapons. Ir vill usually Le made our
of vood, srone, or Lone. Ir vill usually only Le used on lov rech vorlds.
CrossLov CrossLov CrossLov CrossLov: CrossLovs are a somevhar more advanced form of Lov. They have a
longer range rhan a srandard Lov, and rhey rypically do more damage. The veapon
has ro Le cocked and loaded, and rhus can only Le fired once every orher round. If a
Lolr is nor already loaded vhen comLar Legins, rhe characrer can nor arrack unril rhey
second round of comLar. These are very primirive veapons, and vill rypically Le
found only on lov rech vorlds.
CyLer Wizard Sraff CyLer Wizard Sraff CyLer Wizard Sraff CyLer Wizard Sraff: In rhe hands of anyone orher rhan a CyLer Wizard, rhis veapon
acrs like a Lasic sraff. Hovever, in rhe hands of a CyLer Wizard, rhe veapon is much
deadlier. The CyLer Wizard can infuse rhe sraff virh cyLerneric energies, causing ir
ro do more damage vhen ir srrikes an opponenr. A CyLer Wizard can also enchanr"
rhe veapon so rhar ir discharges a pre-derermined spell vhen ir srrikes an opponenr.
The enchanrmenr is only good for one srrike. Afrer rhar, rhe sraff musr Le recharged
virh a nev spell, Lur ir can conrinue ro do damage virh rhe CyLer Wizard's
cyLerneric energies.
If rhe CyLer Wizard chooses ro enchanr rheir sraff virh one of rheir spells, rhey musr
do so ar rhe Leginning of rhe day. When rhey enchanr rhe sraff, rhey use one of rhe
spells rhey have availaLle.and rhus expend rhe appropriare numLer of cyLer poinrs.
Explosives Explosives Explosives Explosives: This is a carch-all caregory for anyrhing rhar Llovs up. Typically,
Explosives are nor used in comLar, Lur rarher are placed somevhere ro do damage ar a
larer rime. Ir's also possiLle ro srrap Explosives onro an oLjecr, or even a crearure, and
have rhem deliver rhe Explosives ro a chosen area.alrhough rhis is usually faral for
anyone vearing rhe Explosives.
The price range for explosives also derermines rhe damage facror. The more
expensive an explosive is, rhe higher rhe damage facror is going ro Le.
Flame Throver: Flame Throver: Flame Throver: Flame Throver: Almosr every crearure can Le harmed Ly flame, and each of rhe
senrienr species has realized rhis rhroughour rime. As a resulr, rhey've all designed
rheir ovn form of Flame Throver. Alrhough rhese veapons can do a rremendous
amounr of damage, rheir range is somevhar limired.
Flecherre Fisrol Flecherre Fisrol Flecherre Fisrol Flecherre Fisrol: A Flecherre Fisrol delivers several small darr-like oLjecrs inro a
vicrim. Ir is possiLle, alrhough difficulr ro hir more rhan one rarger virh a single
flecherre shor. If a characrer decides ro arrempr rhis, rhey suffer a -4 arrack penalry ro
hir rhe firsr rarger, a -8 penalry ro hir rhe second, and a -12 penalry ro hir rhe rhird. Ir
should also Le nored rhar damage is reduced vhen rhis acrion is raken. If a characrer
rargers rvo enemies, rhe damage is reduced Ly half, and if a characrer rargers rhree
enemies, each enemy suffers only one-rhird of rhe rypical damage. Ir should also Le
nored rhar rhese damage reducrions are in place even if rhe characrer misses rhe
second and rhird characrer.
A rypical Fisrol can hold one flecherre package, vhich holds 20 shors. When rhe
pisrol is firsr purchased, ir comes virh one flecherre package.
Flecherre Rifle Flecherre Rifle Flecherre Rifle Flecherre Rifle: A Flecherre Rifle is a more poverful version of rhe Flecherre Fisrol.
This veapon has a longer range, and ir also delivers more damage. Unlike rhe
Flecherre Fisrol, hovever, rhe Rifle can nor Le used ro rarger more rhan one enemy.
A rypical Rifle can hold one flecherre package, vhich holds 20 shors. When rhe rifle
is firsr purchased, ir comes virh one flecherre package.
Grenade Grenade Grenade Grenade: This is any rype of veapon rhar is designed ro Le rhrovn and explode on
conracr. Unlike mosr veapons, a near miss can srill inflicr damage on a rarger. When
a grenade is rhrovn, an arrack roll is made againsr all rargers in rhe Llasr range. Any
successful hirs rake full damage. If an arrack roll is one less rhan vhar vas required
for a hir, rhe rarger rakes one-half damage, and if rhe arrack roll is rvo less rhan vhar
vas required ro hir, rhe rarger rakes one-quarrer damage. All fracrions in reduced
damage are rounded up. The rypical Llasr diamerer is five merers.
Explosive Grenades are nor rhe only rype of grenade. There are also Flash Grenades
vhich creare a poverful Lursr of lighr rhar can Llind inrended vicrims. Ir's also
possiLle ro have Nano Grenades, vhich are designed ro deliver some rype of nano,
vhich acrivares on impacr.
Grenade Launcher: Grenade Launcher: Grenade Launcher: Grenade Launcher: Alrhough Grenades can Le rhrovn, rhis gun vill also allov for
rhem ro Le launched a much grearer disrance.
Knife Knife Knife Knife: A knife is any kind of small Llade. Even rhough rhis vould seem ro Le a
primirive veapon, many characrers srill use knives Lecause rhey are easy ro hide, and
ar close quarrers, rhey can Le quire faral.
Laser Fisrol Laser Fisrol Laser Fisrol Laser Fisrol: A Laser Fisrol is a handheld pisrol rhar's designed ro deal a very hor laser
lighr. The range rends ro Le shorr, Lur rhe damage can Le quire lerhal.
A Laser Fisrol is charged virh a clip rhar holds 50 charges. Each Fisrol is equipped
virh one clip vhen ir's firsr purchased.
Laser Rifle Laser Rifle Laser Rifle Laser Rifle: A Laser Rifle is a more poverful version of rhe Laser Fisrol. Generally a
Laser Rifle musr Le held virh rvo hands, Lur rhe Rifle has a longer range, and does
more damage rhan a Fisrol can.
A Laser Rifle is charged virh a clip rhar holds 50 charges. Each Rifle is equipped virh
one clip vhen ir's firsr purchased.
Mace: Mace: Mace: Mace: Mace is a rarher generic rerm, as each species has rheir ovn form of rhis
primirive veapon. Usually ir's a meral handle virh a chain. Arrached ro rhar chain is
a spiked Lall.
Missile Launcher Missile Launcher Missile Launcher Missile Launcher: These veapons are designed ro launch missiles rhar are usually
around a merer long. They aren'r alvays effecrive againsr characrer sized opponenrs,
Lur rhey can Le quire lerhal againsr ships. Due ro rhe Lulkiness of rhe missiles, and
rhe difficulry in aiming rhem, a characrer using a missile launcher suffers a -4 penalry
ro hir a characrer sized opponenr. Hovever, unlike mosr handheld veapons, a Missile
Launcher does full damage againsr ships, Luildings, or orher vehicles.
Neuronal Whip Neuronal Whip Neuronal Whip Neuronal Whip: The Neuronal Whip is a small oLjecr rhar firs firmly in rhe hand of a
characrer. When charged, rhe vhip releases a micro-rhin filamenr rhar can srrike a
characrer and paralyze rhem. The filamenr can shoor our as far as five merers, and
unlike mosr handheld veapons, a characrer using rhis veapon uses rheir Agiliry
Lonus ro modify rheir arrack rolls.
When a characrer uses a Neuronal Whip in an arrack, and scores a hir, rhey roll one
six sided die. Thar numLer is mulriplied Ly rhe difference Lerveen rhe arrack roll and
rhe defense roll. Thar numLer is rhen compared ro rhe vicrim's Endurance arrriLure.
If ir's higher rhan rhe vicrim's Endurance, rhen rhey're paralyzed for rhar numLer of
rounds.
As an example, Zach's Soldier uses a Neuronal Whip againsr an enemy Bandir. He
rolls an arrack and scores a 17, vhile rhe Bandir rolls a 12 for irs defense roll. Zach
rhen rolls a single six-sided die for a 5. The difference Lerveen rhe arrack roll and rhe
defense roll vas 5 and Zach mulriplies rhar numLer rimes rhe 5 he rolled on rhe single
six-sided die. This gives him a roral of 25. The poor Bandir only had an Endurance
score of 8, so rhey are srunned for 17 rounds.25-8=17.
Non Non Non Non- -- -Lerhal Slug Throver: Lerhal Slug Throver: Lerhal Slug Throver: Lerhal Slug Throver: These veapons are designed ro fire slugs rhar vill sring or
even srun a porenrial opponenr, vhile nor killing rhem. When a characrer
successfully hirs virh a Non-Lerhal Slug Throver, rhe rarger rolls an Endurance
check. This numLer is compared ro rhe difference Lerveen rhe arrack roll and rhe
defense roll. If rhe Endurance check is lover, rhe rarger is srunned. If rhe Endurance
roll is equal ro or higher rhan rhe difference Lerveen rhe arrack and defense rolls, rhe
characrer has Leen srung Ly rhe slugs and suffers a -1 on all rolls and checks. This
damage is cumularive virh each successive hir.
Flasma Assaulr Rifle Flasma Assaulr Rifle Flasma Assaulr Rifle Flasma Assaulr Rifle: The Flasma Assaulr Rifle is a scary veapon. When fired, ir
launches super-heared plasma rovards an opponenr. The Rifle can Le ser ro launch
anyvhere from one ro ren Lursrs of plasma in a round. If opponenrs are close enough
ro one anorher, rhe Rifle can rhen Le used on mulriple opponenrs, alrhough rhe
arracker suffers a -1 penalry ro his arrack Lonus each rime he shifrs ro a nev rarger.
Thus, if he shoors ar one person, he suffers no penalry, Lur he vould suffer a -1
penalry vhen shooring ar a second vicrim, a -2 penalry vhen shooring ar a rhird, and
so on. The characrer musr srare hov many charges he is going ro fire ar rhe Leginning
of each round, and if shooring ar mulriple rargers, he musr srare hov many charges he
vill use on each rarger ar rhe Leginning of each round. The characrer also musr roll
an arrack roll for each plasma Lursr rhar rhey fire.
The Flasma Assaulr Rifle rakes a full round ro charge, rhus rhe characrer can nor fire ir
in rhe firsr round of comLar. The veapon only srays charged for ren rounds unless ir's
fired, and if rhe veapon is charged five rimes virhour Leing fired, ir permanenrly uses
up one charge.
The Flasma Assaulr Rifle rypically holds 30 charges, vhich are srored in a conrainer
called a cap." When a cap is expended, ir can'r Le recharged, Lur a nev cap can Le
placed inro rhe Flasma Assaulr Rifle. When a Flasma Assaulr Rifle is firsr purchased,
ir vill come virh one cap.
The advanrage ro using a plasma veapon is rhar rhey're less likely ro do damage ro
hulls and Lulkheads in ships and space srarions.
Flasma Fisrol Flasma Fisrol Flasma Fisrol Flasma Fisrol: The plasma pisrol is a hand-held gun rhar fires a super-heared plasma ar
an opponenr.
The Flasma Fisrol rakes a full round ro charge, rhus rhe characrer can nor fire ir in rhe
firsr round of comLar. The veapon only srays charged for ren rounds unless ir's fired,
and if rhe veapon is charged five rimes virhour Leing fired, ir permanenrly uses up
one charge.
The Flasma Fisrol rypically holds 30 charges, vhich are srored in a conrainer called a
cap." When a cap is expended, ir can'r Le recharged, Lur a nev cap can Le placed
inro rhe Flasma Fisrol. When a Flasma Fisrol is firsr purchased, ir vill come virh one
cap.
Flasma Rifle Flasma Rifle Flasma Rifle Flasma Rifle: This veapon is a long range version of rhe Flasma Fisrol. The Flasma
Rifle gives a characrer longer range, Lur rhe super-heared plasma does rhe same
amounr of damage as a Flasma Fisrol.
The Flasma Rifle rakes a full round ro charge, rhus rhe characrer can nor fire ir in rhe
firsr round of comLar. The veapon only srays charged for ren rounds unless ir's fired,
and if rhe veapon is charged five rimes virhour Leing fired, ir permanenrly uses up
one charge.
The Flasma Rifle rypically holds 30 charges, vhich are srored in a conrainer called a
cap." When a cap is expended, ir can'r Le recharged, Lur a nev cap can Le placed
inro rhe Flasma Rifle. When a Flasma Rifle is firsr purchased, ir vill come virh one
cap.
Flasma Spear Flasma Spear Flasma Spear Flasma Spear: This veapon is a more advanced version of rhe primirive Spear. Like irs
archaic ancesror, rhe Flasma Spear does damage from impaling a vicrim, Lur vhen rhe
Flasma Spear hirs, ir delivers a super-heared plasma inro rhe vicrim, vhich increases
rhe damage done.
A Flasma Spear rypically conrains 40 charges, virh each hir discharging one charge.
The Flasma Spear can nor Le recharged, and once all of irs charges are expended, ir is
simply a regular Spear. Ar rhar poinr, rhe game masrer musr make sure rhar damage is
adjusred accordingly.
Sling: Sling: Sling: Sling: The Sling is one of rhe mosr primirive of veapons. Ir's used ro fire off small
srones in rhe hope of hirring a rarger. The veapon does nor have a grear deal of range,
and ir doesn'r do much damage, Lur rhey are very easy ro Luild if rhe characrers find
rhemselves on a planer virh no veapons.
Slug Machine Gun: Slug Machine Gun: Slug Machine Gun: Slug Machine Gun: Like rhe Slug Throver, rhis veapon uses a chemical reacrion ro
propel a merallic Lall, slug, or Luller. The main difference is rhar rhe Slug Machine
Gun fires a large numLer of rhese projecriles, rhus causing a grear deal of damage. The
Slug Machine Gun, hovever, can Le a Lir unvieldy ro use, and as a resulr, characrers
using rhem suffer a -1 arrack penalry.
Slug Throver Slug Throver Slug Throver Slug Throver: This is a generic carch-all caregory for any primirive veapon rhar uses
a chemical reacrion ro propel a merallic Lall, slug, or Luller. The Earrh handgun
vould Le a good example of rhis. All of rhe species used slug rhrovers in rheir pasr
Lefore rhey developed Lerrer vays of killing opponenrs.
Spear Spear Spear Spear: The Spear is Lasically any long shafr virh a poinred head or Llade on rhe end.
Ir's usually a primirive veapon, Lur can Le found in use on more advanced vorlds as
vell, especially vhen individuals have expended rhe charges in rheir Flasma Spears.
Sraff Sraff Sraff Sraff: A Sraff is Lasically a valking srick rhar is used ro Lludgeon opponenrs. Alrhough
ir is generally a primirive veapon, rhey can srill ofren Le found in more advanced
serrings. Some CyLer Wizards vill use rhem (especially if rheir CyLer Wizard Sraffs
are desrroyed) Lecause ir marches rhe ancienr legends of vhar a vizard should

Svord Svord Svord Svord: Any longish Llade can Le considered a svord. Wherher ir's a long svord,
scimirar, curlass, or vharever a species mighr have used in rheir disranr pasr.
Typically, rhe Svord vill only Le found on primirive vorlds, Lur many human
Bandirs use rhem.or ar leasr vear rhem Lecause rhey rhink ir goes vell virh rheir

Armor
There are a numLer of rypes of armor in rhe game. Some vork versus all kinds of
arracks, vhile orhers vork differenrly againsr differenr rypes of veapons.
The raLle Lelov gives rhe rypes of armor and rhe price. Ir also gives rhe various
defense Lonuses rhar each armor has againsr rhe various rypes of veapons. If only one
Lonus is lisred, rhen rhar's rhe numLer rhar is added ro rhe characrer's defense rolls
againsr all rypes of veapons. If rhere are several lisrings for rhe defense Lonus, rhen
rhe characrer adds rhe Lonus rhar is appropriare for vharever rype of veapon rhey are
Leing arracked virh.
Enhancing Armor Enhancing Armor Enhancing Armor Enhancing Armor: Ir is possiLle for a characrer ro enhance rhe armor rhey have
virhour Luying nev armor. An enhancemenr cosrs half rhe price of rhe original
armor and ir adds a +1 Lonus ro all of rhe prorecrion facrors rhar rhe armor vould
normally have. This can Le done up ro four rimes on any individual armor. Ir's
imporranr ro nore rhar Force Shields, Frimirive Learher, and Shields can nor Le
enhanced. These rypes of enhancemenr are usually nor done virh Body Armor since
rhey are upgradeaLle, Lur if a player really vanrs ro do rhis, rhe game masrer should

Folloving rhe raLle are derailed descriprions of each form of armor. Ir's imporranr
ro nore rhar rvo rypes of armor can nor Le vorn rogerher. The only exceprions ro rhis
are rhe ALlarive Shield, rhe Force Shield, and rhe Shield. These can Le used virh any
orher rype of armor.
Ir's also imporranr ro keep in mind rhar virh rhe exceprion of rhe ALlarive Shield,
rhe Force Shield, and rhe Shield, all armors are specifically designed for a single
species and can nor Le vorn Ly a characrer rhar is nor of rhar species. For example, if
a human Trader pulls ALlarive Armor off of a Tulmarh Diplomar afrer a fire fighr, rhe
human can nor vear rhe armor Lecause ir is specifically designed for rhe Tulmarh's
anaromy.

ALlarive Armor ALlarive Armor ALlarive Armor ALlarive Armor: This armor is designed ro aLsorL damage from laser and plasma
veapons. Ir's very lighr and form firring, Lur is rypically vorn over clorhing. The
armor adds a +6 defense Lonus againsr laser veapons, and a +4 defense Lonus againsr
plasma veapons, Lur ir also aLsorLs five poinrs of damage caused Ly rhe same veapons
as vell. The damage aLsorLed is againsr each srrike rhar hirs rhe armor. Thus, if a
characrer vearing ALlarive Armor vere hir Ly rhree differenr laser Llasrs in a single
round, rhe Armor vould aLsorL five poinrs of damage from each of rhose hirs.
ALlarive Armor does have some rhickness ro ir, so ir vill offer a +2 defense Lonus
againsr orher rypes of veapons as vell.

ALlarive Shield ALlarive Shield ALlarive Shield ALlarive Shield: These shields acr very much like rhe armor of rhe same kind. They
offer a +3 defense Lonus againsr laser veapons, and a +2 defense Lonus againsr plasma
veapons, Lur rhey vill also aLsorL rhree poinrs of damage rhar is caused Ly rhose
veapons. This aLsorprion vorks jusr as rhe aLsorprion of ALlarive Armor. They also
offer a +1 defense Lonus againsr orher kinds of veapons as vell.
Armored EVA Suir Armored EVA Suir Armored EVA Suir Armored EVA Suir: EVA can Le dangerous, and rhe lasr rhing anyone vanrs is for
rheir suir ro Le damaged. An armored EVA suir is ser up ro offer a lor of prorecrion
againsr some veapons. Alrhough ir does vell againsr srriking and flecherre veapons,
ir doesn'r do quire as vell againsr laser and plasma veapons. The Armored EVA Suir
offers a +6 defense Lonus againsr primirive and flecherre veapons, Lur only a +2 Lonus
againsr laser and plasma veapons.
Armored Under Warer Suir: Armored Under Warer Suir: Armored Under Warer Suir: Armored Under Warer Suir: This suir acrs in rhe exacr same vay as an Under Warer
Suir, virh rhe exceprion rhar ir has aLlarive plaring rhar helps ro vard off arracks.
Orher rhan rhe defense Lonuses, rhe Armored Under Warer Suir has rhe same
properries as an Under Warer Suir.
Barrle Vesr: Barrle Vesr: Barrle Vesr: Barrle Vesr: This simple garmenr vraps around rhe rorso of rhe individual vearing ir.
The Barrle Vesr has limired reflecrive qualiries and has rhe rhickness of Frimirive
Learher, giving rhe characrer a +2 defense Lonus againsr all arracks vhenever rhey're
vearing ir.
Body Armor Body Armor Body Armor Body Armor: There are various levels of Body Armor. The simplesr offer slighr
prorecrion againsr veapons, vhile rhe srronger versions can rurn a characrer almosr
inro a moving rank. Body Armor offers a +4 defense Lonus for each level. Thus, rhe
very Lasic 20,000 credir armor offers a +4 Lonus againsr all veapons. Each addirional
upgrade adds a +4 Lonus ro rhe characrer's defense rolls, Lur ir also cosrs an addirional
20,000 credirs. Anorher oprion virh Lody armor is rhar an aLlarive layer can Le
applied ro ir. This upgrade cosrs 50,000 credirs, and ir doesn'r add ro rhe defense
Lonus of rhe armor, Lur ir vill allov rhe armor ro aLsorL damage from laser and
plasma veapons. In rhis vay, ir vorks jusr like ALlarive Armor.aLsorLing five
poinrs of damage from every laser or plasma Llasr rhar hirs rhe characrer.
If rhe characrer has enough money, Lorh upgrades can Le added ro Body Armor.
Force Shield Force Shield Force Shield Force Shield: The Force Shield is a very poverful defense. The Force shield creares an
energy Larrier around a characrer rhar vill aLsorL all damage inflicred on a rarger, no
marrer vhar rype of veapon, vhile srill alloving rhe characrer ro fire veapons, hold
oLjecrs, or vharever else rhey need ro do virh rheir appendages.
The Force Shield is capaLle of aLsorLing up ro 100 poinrs in damage, and ir's
rechargeaLle. For every ren minures rhar rhe shield is povered dovn, ir regains one
poinr of srrengrh.unril ir reaches rhe 100 poinr maximum. Hovever, if a Force
Shield reaches 0 poinrs, ir vill pover dovn, and ir can'r Le rurned Lack on for a full
rhree days, so ir's a good idea ro pover rhe Force Shield dovn Lefore ir's forced ro
shur off.
Anorher side-effecr of rhe Force Shield is rhar ir rends ro creare a very riny varp in
space-rime around rhe characrer using ir. Alrhough rhe effecr is Lasically
unnoriceaLle, any characrer vho keeps a Force Shield on conrinually for more rhan
one hour musr make a saniry check againsr rhree six-sided dice. Failure vill cosr
rhem one saniry poinr, and rhe loss is permanenr.
Molded Armor: Molded Armor: Molded Armor: Molded Armor: Molded Armor is made of rhe same marerial as Body Armor, Lur ir is
specially designed ro fir perfecrly ro rhe Lody of rhe crearure rhar is vearing ir. As a
resulr of rhis special molding, anorher characrer can nor use Molded Armor.even if
rhey're rhe same species. Because ir's almosr like having a second skin, Molded
Armor offers quire a Lir more prorecrion rhan srandard Body Armor, Lur Molded
Armor can nor Le upgraded.
Frimirive Learher Frimirive Learher Frimirive Learher Frimirive Learher: This is a simple suir of hardened learher. Ir's lighr veighr and easy
ro vear normal clorhing over, vhich makes ir difficulr ro derecr, Lur ir doesn'r offer
much prorecrion. This rype of armor vill usually Le found on primirive vorlds, Lur
some characrers, especially Bandirs vill srill use ir.
Shield Shield Shield Shield: A Shield is a very primirive defense. Ir's Lasically a piece of forged meral rhar
is designed ro repel Llovs. Alrhough ir does offer a +1 defense Lonus againsr srriking
and flecherre veapons, ir offers no Lonus againsr laser and plasma veapons. A game
masrer could even decide rhar rhose rypes of veapons could easily desrroy a Shield.

Acerylene Torch: Acerylene Torch: Acerylene Torch: Acerylene Torch: An Acerylene Torch can Le used ro veld simple merals rogerher.
Because rhey need oxygen, rhey can nor Le used in rhe vacuum of space. If a game
masrer vanrs, rhey can creare a Torch rhar vould Le more appropriare for each
species, Lur rhar vould have similar properries.
Alrhough ir's nor recommended, ir is possiLle ro use an Acerylene Torch as a veapon,
should rhe need ever arise. If a characrer chooses ro do rhis, ir's imporranr ro nore
rhar rhey suffer a -3 penalry on rheir arrack rolls Lecause rhe Torch is really nor
designed for comLar. In addirion, Lecause of rhe narure of rhe Acerylene Torch, rhe
characrer vould use rheir Agiliry modifier insread of rheir Srrengrh modifier. Should
a characrer successfully hir a rarger, rhe vound is painful, Lur nor necessarily life
rhrearening. The Acerylene Torch vould have a DF of .25, virh all damage Leing

Air Tanks: Air Tanks: Air Tanks: Air Tanks: These ranks can Le arrached ro an EVA suir, and Alien Environmenr Suir,
or an Under Warer suir. Each rank provides rvo hours of rhe crearure's armosphere,
and rhey can easily Le refilled.
Alien Environmenr Suir Alien Environmenr Suir Alien Environmenr Suir Alien Environmenr Suir: If a characrer vanrs ro move aLour in an environmenr rhar
rhey can'r normally survive in, rhey musr rake cerrain precaurions. An Alien
Environmenr Suir (AES) allovs rhem ro rake a piece of rheir ovn armosphere virh
rhem. Typically an AES conrains aLour four hours of armosphere. Afrer rhar poinr,
rhe characrer is dead. A characrer can survive for a numLer of seconds equal ro 20
rimes rheir Endurance score.rhus a characrer virh a 9 Endurance can survive for 180
seconds virhour armosphere.
Typically an AES is nor armored, vhich can Le very dangerous. A characrer raking
damage vhile in an AES could die if rhe suir is ruprured, vhich mosr veapons vill
do. Any rime a characrer rakes damage vhile vearing an AES, rhey musr roll rvo six-
sided dice. If rhe roll is less rhan rhe amounr of damage rhar rhey rook, rhe suir has
Leen ruprured. Every AES carries six parches, vhich can Le placed over a leak (raking
rvo rounds ro do ir), Lur any rime rhe characrer's roll is more rhan ren less rhan rhe

Adding an aLlarive layering ro an AES cosrs an addirional 10000 credirs. This
covering granrs a +2 Lonus againsr laser and plasma arracks, and rhe layering vill also
aLsorL five poinrs of damage from each srrike rhar ir rakes.
Ir is possiLle ro add Lorh layerings ro an AES.

Ammo Belr: Ammo Belr: Ammo Belr: Ammo Belr: If a characrer vanrs ro carry exrra ammo for vharever veapon rhey're
using, rhey're going ro need someplace ro srore rhar ammo. While a Lackpack mighr
Le one place a characrer can pur exrra ammo, ir's nor very accessiLle rhere, so an
Ammo Belr vill allov a characrer much quicker access ro rheir ammo. The rypical
Ammo Belr can hold Laser Clips, Flasma Caps, and Flecherre Fackers. They're also
rypically designed ro fir only one species.
Arc Welder: Arc Welder: Arc Welder: Arc Welder: This is a rool rhar is used ro veld meral rogerher. Like rhe Acerylene
Torch, ir needs oxygen, so ir can nor Le used in rhe vacuum of space.
Alrhough ir's nor recommended, ir is possiLle ro use an Arc Welder as a veapon,

Brearher Brearher Brearher Brearher: Somerimes a characrer vill Le aLle ro survive rhe pressure and armosphere
of an alien environmenr, Lur rhey srill von'r Le aLle ro Lrearhe rhe armosphere.
Insread of using an Alien Environmenr Suir, rhe characrer vould jusr need a simple

B BB Bug ug ug ug: Any kind of lisrening device is ofren called a Bug. The Lug is a very small device
rhar also comes virh a receiver rhar rhe individual planring rhe Bug rakes virh rhem
so rhey can hear vhar rhe Bug hears. The more expensive a Bug is, rhe harder ir is ro
find. More expensive Bugs also rransmir more clearly rhan rhe cheaper varieries. A
Bug allovs a characrer ro make a Lisren check in an area rhey normally vouldn'r Le
aLle ro hear in. For every 2000 credirs rhar are spenr, rhe Lug has a rransmirring
disrance of 10 KM. Also, for every 2000 credirs rhe characrer has spenr on a Bug, rhey
gain a +1 ro rheir Lisren check. In addirion, for every 2000 credirs rhe characrer has
spenr, anyone searching for rhe Bug suffers a -1 penalry ro rheir Search skill.
Bug Derecror Bug Derecror Bug Derecror Bug Derecror: This is a device rhar's used ro search our Bugs. If a characrer is using a
Bug Derecror, rhey roll a Search check (more expensive Bug Derecrors vill allov a
Search Lonus). The resulring roll is compared ro a Hide check rhar is made Ly rhe
crearure rhar placed rhe Bug in rhe firsr place. For every 1500 credirs Leyond rhe
inirial 1500 rhar rhe characrer spends on rhe Bug Derecror, rhey gain a +1 on rheir
Search check.
Bullhorn: Bullhorn: Bullhorn: Bullhorn: This is a simple voice amplificarion device. The device can Le used ro
amplify rhe voice of a characrer up ro ren rimes vhar rheir normal voice is capaLle of.
Camouflage: Camouflage: Camouflage: Camouflage: Camouflage comes in rvo varieries, personal and area. Fersonal
Camouflage cosrs 500 credirs and ir can Le used Ly an individual ro arrempr ro Llend

Area Camouflage cosrs 5000 credirs for every 100 cuLic merers. Much like Fersonal
Camouflage, rhis is designed ro help Llend Luildings or orher oLjecrs inro rheir
surroundings. Anyone rrying ro search for an area rhar is covered virh Area
Camouflage receives a -5 penalry ro rheir Search and Spor skills.
Canreen: Canreen: Canreen: Canreen: This is a very simple varer carrying device. Ir's normally made of a hard
suLsrance rhar makes ir difficulr ro Lreak.
Carrying Conrainer Carrying Conrainer Carrying Conrainer Carrying Conrainer: These come in a variery of sizes, everyrhing from small pouches
up ro large duffel Lags. The conrainers vill ofren have coverr secrions placed in rhem
rhar allov a characrer ro hide irems. The larger a Carrying Conrainer, rhe more
expensive. Also, rhe more elaLorare any hiding places are, rhe more expensive rhe
Carrying Conrainer vill Le. Any hiding places drive up rhe price of rhe Carrying
Conrainer Ly an addirional 10-100 credirs, depending on hov elaLorare rhey are.
Generally, rhe size of a Carrying Conrainer is one cuLic cenrimerer per credir. Hiding
places and elaLorare designs vill alrer rhe final size of any Carrying Conrainer.

Changeling Suir: Changeling Suir: Changeling Suir: Changeling Suir: This is a skinrighr suir rhar allovs a characrer ro rake on rhe
appearance of anyone rhey have rouched. Changeling Suirs, hovever, use a lor of
energy, and can somerimes Le derecred Ly scanners. If a characrer has good reason ro
rhink someone has a Changeling Suir, rhey should Le given a +2 Lonus vhen using a
Scanner. The energy of rhe Changeling Suir can also Le derrimenral ro a characrer's
Saniry. Anyone vearing a Changeling Suir conrinuously for 8 hours musr make a
Saniry check againsr 1 six sided die. 16 hours requires a Saniry check againsr 2 six
sided dice, and vearing a Changeling Suir conrinuously for a full day requires a Saniry
check againsr 3 six sided dice. If rhere's anyone foolish enough ro vear rhe suir for
even longer, an exrra six sided die should Le added for every 8 hours of exposure. A
failed Saniry check resulrs in rhe immediare, and permanenr, loss of 1 poinr of Saniry.
Chemsniffer: Chemsniffer: Chemsniffer: Chemsniffer: This device is used ro quickly evaluare rhe chemical composirion of
anyrhing ir's exposed ro. Ir can Le used ro analyze armosphere, fluids, or anyrhing
else rhe characrers mighr need ro analyze.
Chronomerer: Chronomerer: Chronomerer: Chronomerer: This is a simple device for relling rime. Mosr Chronomerers can Le ser
ro display rhree differenr rimes. Whar rimes rhose are is up ro rhe characrers. In
addirion, a Chronomerer can access a local compurer sysrem and auromarically adjusr

have a compurer sysrem for rhe Chronomerer ro access.
Communicarions Beacon: Communicarions Beacon: Communicarions Beacon: Communicarions Beacon: A Communicarions Beacon is a device rhar vill relay
communicarions signals from one communicaror ro anorher. In general, any
inhaLired sysrem vill already have rhese in place, Lur if characrers are exploring in

SHIF MOVEMENT & MANEUVERABILITY
The raLle Lelov lisrs rhe speed rhar a ship can rravel and hov maneuveraLle rhey
are. The speeds are lisred in kilomerers per hour and rhe maneuveraLiliry is scored
from 2-12 (ir's much like rhe Agiliry of a characrer.) When ships are rrying ro chase
or flee from each orher, rheir maneuveraLiliry is used ro derermine rhe success of
rhose maneuvers. Tvo six-sided dice are rolled Ly each ship. To rhis numLer is
added rhe Lonus or penalry of rhe ship's maneuveraLiliry (see rhe arrriLure score
modifiers ro ger rhis numLer.) This vill give rhe ships' rav numLers. Afrer rhis, rhe
game masrer looks ar rhe speed of each ship (oLviously a fasrer ship vill have a Lerrer
chance of escaping from or carching a slover ship.) The speed of rhe slover ship is
suLrracred from rhe speed of rhe fasrer ship. For every 50,000 km/hr. difference, rhe
game masrer granrs rhe fasrer ship a +1 Lonus.

As an example:
David is playing a Culrhan Diplomar vho is piloring a fighrer crafr rhar is rrying ro
flee from a Tulmarh Larrle cruiser. David rolls rvo six-sided dice virh a resulr of 9.
The game masrer rolls a 5 for rhe Larrle cruiser. The fighrer has grear maneuveraLiliry
(12), so David's characrer gers a +4 Lonus.making his roll a 13. The Larrle cruiser is
nor very maneuveraLle (6), so rhe Tulmarh gers no Lonus.leaving rheir roll a 5. The
fighrer has a speed of 400,000, vhile rhe Larrle cruiser has a speed of 250,000. Using
rhese numLers, rhe game masrer does rhe folloving marh: 400,000-250,000=150,000.
This gives rhe fighrer anorher +3 Lonus.making David's final roll a 16. OLviously
rhe Diplomar is going ro make ir rhrough rhis chase scenario.
Hov many checks are required ro carch an enemy or escape from an enemy is up
ro rhe game masrer. Ir could Le ruled rhar if rhere is a huge difference in rhe rvo
ships' final rolls, rhen escape or caprure is auromaric.
For every rhree rhree rhree rhree upgrades rhar a ship goes rhrough, ir vill increase irs speed Ly 25%
and irs maneuveraLiliry vill go up 1 poinr.
