- THE FINAL FRONTIER
- By Finn Macginty O'Neill
- By John Doe
- Summary of Mechanics
- What You Need To Get Started: A pen, a 20 sided dice, a notepad for every player and a calculator.
- Summary of Dice Rolling: Whenever you need to roll for something requiring skill, you roll the die. The result you get is how you do at the roll.
- 1: Total failure. If firing a gun, the gun breaks. When building a device, it explodes. Dramatic, horrible failure.
- 2-6: Large Failure. You didn't suceed at what you wanted, and you get a -1 if you do it again.
- 7: Failure. You just didn't succeed.
- 8-9: Close failure. You almost suceeded, but something happened that prevented it. You can roll again if the situation and circumstances permit (As in, you can continue repairing the device but you cannot fire again in a gunfight)
- 10-12: Bare success. You have succeeded, barely. In a fight, this will probably stun your opponent but not do much else.
- 13-15: Success. You did what you wanted. In a fight, you will be able to knock the opponent to the ground.
- 16-17: Great success. You did what you wanted, and then some. In a fight, you gain significant ground.
- 18-20: Total success. You overcame the odds and suceeded brilliantly. In a fight, you probably knocked the enemy unconscious.

- When creating a ship:
- Roll for classification, purpose and then finally quality.
- Alliance
- 1. Terran - The Terran Federation is a large government that owns the southern hemisphere of Earth, and is dedicated to creating a single government. Their ships are usually very well-made and there is rarely accidents. They use minimalist architecture and ships are spartan but pleasant.
- 2. Earth - The Earth Freedom Group is a coalition of governments that own the northern hemisphere of Earth. They want to keep countries and cultures alive and not have them be crushed by a huge government like the Terran Federation. Their ships are very similar to NASA, since the United States is part of the group, but are highly advanced with a slight problem of malfunctions due to advanced tech.
- 3. Alliance - Neutral in the loosest sense, the Alliance has had a long history, many leadership changes and control of many major colonies. It's large, imposing ships are often highly decorated with a large variety of metal.
- 4. Coalition - A union of like-minded industrial planets, the Coalition was founded quite recently, in 2212. Has violated many safety laws and standards, and the CEO has said on the matter, "I don't really give a shit. Workers complain if you make the most perfectly safe factory, so why not toughen the whiny fucks up?"
- 5. United Worlds - A semi-small coaliton of colonies founded in 2125 known for it's cheap, blatantly unsafe ships which are mass-produced by the hundreds each day.
- 6. Nanotrasen - A large, almost independent mega-corporation that was founded in 1961 as a pharmaceuticals company. Ships and stations tend to be very unsafe. There is an extreme overuse of windows as well.
- 7. North American Space Associates - After a NASA colonization effort towards deep space using cryogenic "Time" ships lost contact, it was assumed dead. However, during the restart of space colonization, it was found that a collection of people had already colonized the stars: the original colonizers. Dedicated to a society of Americana and spaceship building, they were already colonizing the stars around them and offered several new revolutions in space ship building. Their ships are often called the best made ships in the universe.
- 8. The Asian Cartel - Formed from colonies created on Mars by China and Japan, this government is quite famous for it's robots and electronics, and for the "Technological Zen" aesthetic, which makes their ships and colonies resemble ancient houses and zen gardens. Their most famous robotic products are the Nexus 6 series Replicant and the Model-4 Senshi, a robot that has been accurately described as a "Samurai Robot", with a built-in titanium katana and steel samurai armor.
- 9. Euro Union - After a total economic collapse, multiple countries went out into space to colonize planets to restart their countries economy. Due to well placed colonies and luck with minerals, the group was founded in 2104. Due to large amounts of wealth, their ships are very flashy with holograms replacing monitors and paper, and are often extremely useful but disliked when the power goes out. Their ships are also quite well-lit and well-made with the main problems being their reliance on unsafe plasma combustion generators which can backfire horribly in massive explosions.
- 10. Union - Founded as an attempt to stop the incredible amount of workplace violations in the future, this group is dedicated to helping the blue-collar worker groups. They always follow workplace regulations, being well-lit and extremely safe but they still retain a factory-like atmosphere. Liked by workers, disliked by corporations.
- 11. Mercenary - People from all walks of life can be called a Mercenary. Mercenaries do things such as recovery of lost ships, rescue and occasionally murder for money. Their ships can be from any alliance, but are usually third-hand and slightly broken in places.
- 12. United Corporate States - A collection of corporations formed into one huge megacorporation. They are mainly involved in factory work, and they produce a lot of items. However, they are (in-)famous for being highly "Forgetful" in their OSHA compliance, extremely cut-throat in profit making and being harsh to factory workers.
- 13. Syndicate - A group of people who are against Nanotrasen along with other megacorporations; Commits acts of terrorism against Nanotrasen ships and stations. Due to a ceasefire in 2243, the war is officially over and the Syndicates legalized, but the war still wages on secretly. It's aesthetics is reminisicant of art deco, but it's well known for it's shoddy work practices and unsafe materials in construction of ships.
- 14. Pitt Products Co. - An extremely fascistic and oppressive megacorporation, it has ties to human slavery and prohibits any examination of certain sections of it's ships. It's ships are designed specifically to the "Cold Steel in Black Oceans" architectural method, which means that their ships are highly remnisant of gothic catherdrals with stained glass windows. Also known as the "Fourth Reich" by it's CEO.
- 15. Sacromento Industries - A medium sized corporation that originated in 1970s California, specializing in lumber, in the future it quickly evolved into a quite large corporation that transported cargo and people across planets. Their ships and stations are reminicsent of 21st century NASA ships.
- 16. World of Tomorrow Products - Created by a highly eccentric CEO, this megacorporation is well known for it's 1950's "Zeerust" aesthetics, hence it's creative name. Very high quality but overly specific to it's aesthetics in places. Such as using fission reactors instead of the modern cold fusion or using food pills which have been known to cause constipation and gastorial pains instead of actual food.
- 17. Military - Ships owned and operated by the military forces of other Alliances such as the Terran Federation, the Earth Freedom group and etc.
- 18. Civilian - Usually created by small-time corporations or second-hand ships by other alliances. Can range from transport of cargo to traveling in function. Usually don't carry weapons or any offensive ability, and are usually user friendly due to their very nature.
- 19. Mining - Created by mining forces and medium sized corporations, these are for mining and mining related purposes. Usually very dirty and dark, one of the most famous ships of it's class being the Nostromo, a ship that disappeared in mysterous circumstances around the planet LV-426, AKA Hadley's Hope.
- 20. Scientific - Made for scientific purposes, these can range from independant scientists to nationalized research groups. These ships are well-known for their sterile surfaces and white tile-based floors and walls, but are infamous for the often terrible virus and xeno containment systems which leads to a lot of accidents.
- This section is for NPC ships.
- 21. Criminal - Stolen warship or merchant vessal, usually covered in tribal paint, ranges from "Tribal cannibals" to "space pirates" to "Slave ships filled with human cargo" to "Army deserters"
- 22. Xeno-Giger - Usually found crash-landed, these ships are filled with highly advanced tech from an unknown dead civilization. It seems that they are a blend of biological and technological materials. It is hard to tell what exactly happened to the civilization and why it is gone, but their legacy remains...
- 23. Xeno-Abandoned - Similar to long abandoned temples, everything is broken from long abandonment but is way beyond humanity, even if humanity is in the singularity. Usually taken over by criminals or used by the ancient robots that guard it.
- 24. Xeno-Reaver - Similar to criminal, but much more horrifying. Very old spaceships covered in spikes, chains, corpses tied to it and it gives off a large enough amount of radiation to kill. How the crew (or what, for that matter, the crew is) survives in the apparently hostile conditions is unknown. The crew have been mutated into insect-like creatures who require protein for their Mother (It appears to be in some gigantic monsterous creature in the center of the Reaver circle) by raiding planets and processing humans into protein.
