No GM's Sky: Permissions and Usage

No GM's Sky by Todd Zircher (copyright 2018)
NGS is an adventure setting for Trav/Cepheus Engine, but it should

be easy to adapt to other sci-fi rule systems as well. The rules
presented here are a framework for telling a story of exploration,
discovery, and survival.

A Little History
After the dawn of the Atomic Age, a strange thing happened. Humanity started losing its taste
for war. Oh, it took some time and there were still plenty of regional fires, but WW2 was the
last major war between the nation-states of the day. It seems regardless of heated words and
saber rattling, we had collectively lost our desire for large scale carnage. Where governments
sometimes stalled or faded from the global scene, corporations remained a stabilizing force and
became the new ambassadors and the drivers of technology, exploration, and cooperation.
High thrust drive systems, reliable power plants, and a healthy appetite for profit and knowledge
drove mankind to the farthest reaches of the solar system. Within two centuries we had stations
all over the place and Mars was responding well to terraforming efforts.
The invention of the Denisova-Keller Drive (aka the Jump Drive) gave mankind the stars. It was
probably one of the worst kept secrets in history, the details of the drive tech were actually
stolen/released before the first probe even returned from its maiden voyage. Within a year,
more than a dozen companies and governments were working on their own versions. The next
century was a wild rush to explore the region and colonies followed where the worlds were fair
and the resources plentiful.
Fifty years ago, the unrestricted expansion of Humanity came sliding to a halt. That was the
year that Fred was found abandoned in orbit around Hawson's World. What gave Humanity
pause? Fred wasn't human. While the occupant of the spacesuit had been dead for a long time,
the mummified body was a treasure trove of data. Bilateral symmetry, CHNOPS biochemistry,
genetic markers (at least those that were not destroyed by the environment) showed a very
high degree of similarity to organic life as we know it. Fred wasn't terrestrial by a long shot,
four eyes, a long snout, omnivore-like dentition, and with a sloth-like opposable claw on its
hands. The suit had been drifting for decades, perhaps centuries, based on analysis of micro-
meteor pitting and cosmic ray damage to electronics.
Fred's discovery caused Humanity to check its expansion, Hawson's World was well inside
humanity's bubble of colonized worlds. Planets that had been previously colonized were checked
again for signs of visitors, asteroids scanned for previous mining, every moving chunk of debris
got a visit. Space, which was for the most part demilitarized, started to see ships now quietly
carrying weapons.
Fred held one other secret, a mysterious crystal about the size of a cricket ball. The white
crystalline matrix appeared to be artificial in construction but no obvious function that could be
determined. The most common speculation is that the device was a holographic data storage
medium. As a unique object, no one dared to cut it open or otherwise damage it.
Ten years ago, the Sphere was being transferred via courier to the labs at New Eden. During
the outbound leg of the trip, Navigator Mia Naur somehow became attuned to the crystal and
when the ship jumped, it went sideways 40 parsecs. It took the crew of the Goldenrod almost a
year to return back to normal space and to tell the tale. Perhaps the sphere triggered
something bigger as well, more of them started turning up on colony worlds, on ancient moons,
and drifting in asteroid belts. It is almost like they wanted to be found.
Scientists don't know how the crystals (popularly called Jump Cores) work, but they seem to
psychically connect to a random person. In close proximity, the crystal even emits a soft glow.
If that individual is actively concentrating on the crystal when a jump drive is used, it jumps
them to a star system roughly 40 parsecs towards the galactic core. There appears to be some
kind of size/mass limit. No active core has ever moved a ship
that is larger than 100 tons. The jump cores appear to be very
old and pre-date Humanity. Based on the technology in Fred's
suit, the spheres are probably older than Fred's people as well.
Now, the greatest lottery in all of human space is the Jump Core.
Only one in a billion will feel its pull. And, only they can make it
light up. Some call it a curse, this lure of the unknown, like
moths to a flame. Today, it called for you.
What is NGS?
No GM's Sky is a solo game system, you control a protagonist that is attuned to a jump core and
the crew of volunteers that choose to travel with your character and explore the fringes of
human space and beyond. Some seek knowledge, others look for fortune, and who knows what
mysteries will be revealed along the way. Game-wise it is kind of a reverse Oregon Trail, you
jump as far as you dare and then try to return to civilization.
The scout and courier classes are small ships. Its crew consists of a pilot, a navigator, an
engineer, and a gunner. Your character might fulfill one of those duties or just be along for the
ride. With double occupancy, you can bring along up to four specialists to build the team.
The odds are such that you're not going to own your own ship to go zipping off into the
unknown. Either a government, corporation, or wealthy patron can provide a ship. That usually
comes with some strings, they'll want to bring some of their own people and they have their own
goals as well. Perhaps they want to get first crack at new discoveries or to make sure no dire
threat to humanity waits for them out there. Or, maybe they have a more personal agenda…
Each Jump Core assisted jump pushes you closer to the galactic core, each jump places you a
year further from home. You have it easier than the crew of the Goldenrod. They weren't
prepared for an extended trip and it was a rough ride home. Your crew has the advantage that
you know at least what you're getting into.
There is life out there, mysteries to discover, worlds to chart and explore. Some ships jump and
are never heard from again (or are long overdue), others have returned and their findings have
made them and their sponsors very wealthy.
Preflight Checklist
Before you can start your adventure, we have a few items that need to be filled out. The
choices made here will have an impact on the composition of your crew and its mission. If you
want to fast-track the checklist, a pre-generated crew is available in Appendix A.
Create a character using Trav, Cepheus, or your favorite set of sci-fi rules. The only real
restriction is that you have to be human. Even that can be tweaked if you want to change the
default history of humanity offered by this setting and add your own aliens. Your protagonist
can come from any branch or career. A character that somehow manages to end up with a
scout ship will be re-activated by the Service and asked to carry out one more mission. Buy
personnel equipment as normal. Due to the unique nature of your mission, even restricted
items such as military grade equipment are available, if you are trained and can afford it.
Choose a Sponsor. Pick from the list, roll dice, or create your own. Mission length is determined
by one long jump out and approximately 20-30 jumps to get back plus in-system time for
refueling, surveying, and exploration.
Sponsors and Missions
1. Scout: Exploration
Usually a two to five year mission to survey planets and astronomical bodies. Earn credits for
scanning new worlds and a bounty for valuable finds plus scout pay. It’s a long time between
paychecks, but the rewards can be huge.
2. Scout: Establish a forward base
Only a one or two year mission to search out a habitable planet and set up a landing pad with an
automated fuel collector for extracting hydrogen from a local water supply. Standard scout pay,
plus a bonus for completing the mission.
3. Navy: Gather Intelligence
Signs of alien civilization need to be investigated and reported. A one to three year mission with
navy pay but no other bonuses. First contact is to be avoided unless a xenologist is on the crew.
4. Marine: Rescue / Recovery
A previous mission is over-due, every Attuned person is valuable so we're sending you in to
bring them back. At least one marine needs to be on the crew and cargo space dedicated to low
passage berths if passenger space is not available. Standard marine pay plus a bounty if the
Attuned and their jump core are recovered.
5. Corporate: Pathfinder
A one to four year mission to find colony sites and claim them. Bonus rewards for finding
suitable colony sites. At least one Corp Scientist needs to be part of the crew, lab optional but
preferred. Civilian pay can be negotiated.
6. Corporate: Resource Hunter
A one to three year mission to find mining sites and claim them. Bonus rewards for finding
potential mining sites. At least one Corp Scientist needs to be part of the crew, lab optional but
preferred. Civilian pay can be negotiated.
7. Corporate: Artifact Raid
The Corp has gotten intel on alien activity in this region. Bonus rewards for bringing back alien
culture and technology. A Corp Specialist (aka a Mercenary with a degree) needs to be included
in the crew. Civilian pay can be negotiated.
8. Corporate: Science
A one to three year mission to find biological samples. Bonus rewards for finding profitable
species. At least one Corp Scientist needs to be part of the crew, lab and low berths (for storing
large samples) are optional but preferred. Civilian pay can be negotiated.
9. Patron: The Collector
A one to two year mission to find unique items. Bonus rewards for successful finds. The Patron
insists on being part of the crew and on search missions. Flat fee.
10. Patron: The Tourist
Usually a one year mission where a rich Patron (they do have their own ship) is just along for
the ride and is checking off an item on their bucket list. Bonus for coming back alive and in one
piece. Flat fee.
11. Patron: The Hunter
One to two year mission for a Patron that is seeking new species to find and shoot. Bonus for a
completed mission and rewards for interesting trophies. The Patron will come along and often
bring their own steward. They'll also want one ton of cargo space for luxuries per year. Flat fee.
12. Patron: Missing Person
Two to three year mission for a Patron that is seeking a member of a previous mission that has
not returned. The sought person may or may not be the attuned one. Bonus for return of the
person and a smaller reward for confirmation of being alive or dead. The Patron might come
along, but is more likely to send a trusted mercenary as their man. Flat fee.
Mission Details
In addition to any retirement pay that a character may have earned, the protagonist is entitled
to 'active duty' pay. Extra rewards are possible depending on the mission.
Scout Pay: 14K credits per year, +1500cr bonus for establishing a forward base
Navy Pay: 16K credits per year
Marine Pay: 12K credits per year, +1000cr bonus (each) for the Attuned and the jump core
Civilian Pay: 15K credits per year + 1000cr for a successful Negotiate/Liaison roll and + 1000cr
for every point higher that 8+
Flat Fee: 20k credits, +5000cr mission complete bonus, +2000cr missing persons bonus or
+500cr for confirmation of status, +500cr for interesting finds (as determined by the Patron)
All missions: +1000cr for scans of marginal and habitable worlds, +1,000cr for detailed surveys
of colony sites (requires probes or on-site survey), +1000cr for asteroid mining scans. Double
the survey bonus for Pathfinders. Double the asteroid scan bonus for Resource Hunters.
It’s possible through role play to earn higher pay or other rewards, especially if you’re willing to
create custom missions and sponsors. Seasoned ‘jumpers’ that have survived at least one
mission can certainly negotiate higher prices.
Ship Loadout
Due to the variations between editions and systems, I'm not going to include the full specs on
each ship. What is important is the specific loads that they are carrying. That will have a direct
impact on what missions can be performed, available cargo, passenger capacity, etc. This can be
distilled down to a set of choices; Scout or Courier hull, and deciding what equipment you want
and need to complete the mission. Of course, if you love the nuts and bolts of outfitting a star
ship, you can use your favorite system. Both ships are 100 tons and rigged for long duration
missions (food processing, recycling, and extra provisions.) They have streamlined hulls with
advanced sensors, fuel scoops, two fuel processors, four staterooms, a ship's locker, and a
model 2 computer.
Military Scout: Jump 2, Maneuver 2, Armor 4, one

turret with two beam lasers, 12 tons of cargo, fuel for
one jump
Civilian Courier: Jump 2, Maneuver 4, Armor 2, one
turret with two pulse lasers, 12 tons of cargo, fuel for
one jump
Custom Jumper: Given time and money, it is certainly
possible to build a custom design under 100 tons that
could extend crew or cargo capacity at the expense of
maneuverability, armor, and redundancy. You
normally wouldn’t start with such a vessel, but a
character on a second or third mission might have
access to such a design.
Equipment
Various modules, vehicles, supplies, and gear that can be stowed in the cargo bay.
Air Raft, 4 tons, a contra-grav skimmer, unpressurized

ATV, 4 tons, all-terrain vehicle that can be ‘buttoned up’ and pressurized
Automated Fuel Collector, 4 tons, some assembly required (is needed for a forward base)
Lab module, 4 tons, the additional equipment aids in science rolls
Combat drone, 1 ton, lightly armored with a squad support weapon, has combat skills
Library, 4 tons, allows for some training during down-time and helps with research rolls
Medical module, 4 tons, contains an auto-doc if you don’t have a medic or doctor
Workshop, 4 tons, repair or print parts as needed, includes tools for related skills
Armory, 2 tons, includes ammo, body armor, weapons, and seismic charges (for surveys)
Four low berths, 2 tons, cryogenic suspension for extra passengers or the critically wounded
Five probe drones, 1 ton, can be deployed from space or surface, can be recovered/reused
Luxury goods, 1 ton (per year), the good stuff that can’t be made from recycled organics
Repair drone, 1 ton, a large drone with some skills and built-in tools, is space capable
Spare parts, 1 ton, more tonnage allocated to parts improves your odds of repair
Survival gear, 1 ton, outdoor living gear and protection, aids in hazardous surface operations
If you drop the turret, you can gain an additional ton of cargo space (a simple probe launcher
with five probes is a common choice.) And, you can give up the gunner crew position for an
additional crewman or mission specialist.
Cabins and Low Berths
Each stateroom can serve double occupancy and the

first two tend to be occupied by the crew. The pilot
and navigator take one and the engineer and gunner
take the other. That leaves two cabins for four more
people unless low passage berths are installed in the
cargo bay. Could you bring a platoon in cold sleep?
Sure, but your mission capability and survival would
be seriously impacted. All guns and no butter.
Appendix B will have lists of patrons and mission
specialists to pick from (or roll randomly.)
With a little effort, you can strip one of the cabins to

gain four tons of storage or install a lab or other
module. Of course, you can’t put a vehicle in that
space and you would lose out on two mission specialist
slots. Depending on the job, that might be an
acceptable loss. However, you are also losing out on
their expertise and skills when you might need it most.
Beyond the Fringe
Exploration is a curious thing. We can chart a billion stars, but we rarely know what's out there
until we actually visit them. Space telescopes can help with some details, but not enough to
know which systems will make good colonies or support profitable mining operations. You need
scouts for that and scouts need fuel. Fortunately, scientists can study the spectrum and
determine if gas giants or water/ice is present in many systems. This greatly improves the odds
of not being stranded.
In the NGS setting, your crew will launch from Gateway Station, the last stop for Humanity on
the core-ward fringe of space. Each long jump is four subsectors in length (10 parsecs each.) If
this is the first time you have played, you'll need to create new subsector maps or use the ones
provided in Appendix C. If you want to roll up your own, use the standard distribution model of
a 50% chance of a system per hex, but do not generate the system details, the only known
system is Gateway's (a mineral rich asteroid belt with a gas giant in the system.)
For example, this is our first long jump mission and it is only going to be one year long (in
theory.) We'll need four subsector maps (40 hexes or parsecs in length total.) The first map will
have your destination star in the top row. Anything off the bottom of that map is rim-ward and
leads towards Gateway Station. The other subsector maps will sit below the first map. On the
last map in the bottom row will be the Gateway System. Can you go off the sides of the map?
Sure, it will extend your journey, but the adjacent subsector might also provide a short cut.
Since this is the fringe of known space and there are no refueling stations, tankers, or even drop
tanks to extend the range of a ship. Look at the unexplored maps, if there is a bottleneck where
a jump three drive is required, add a system to bridge the gap. Gateway's location was chosen
in part due to the star density and configuration that would allow a ship with a jump 2 drive to
make it back to the station.
If you’re using another sci-fi gaming system that uses a different style of FTL travel, replace the
one week jump time with a one week survey job to find a warp/jump point to the next star
system. Long jumps will still be exceptionally rare with the average being one or two parsecs.
System Generation
Most systems within the standard Trav or Cepheus setting are heavily populated with all the
infrastructure of civilization in place. The Fringe is not like that at all, so we need to alter the
system generator process to match that. You will also need a custom encounters to reflect the
frontier and the mysteries that are out there.
To save you a lot of dice rolling, NGS uses an encounter chart with 216 entries on it. This chart
has all the high level details you need for most systems. When you jump into a new star
system, roll three dice and read it as digits (ranging from 111 to 666.) Each entry also has a
check box. Mark that when an entry is used. On the off chance that the same number is rolled
later, re-roll or skip down a random number of unchecked entries to find the next unchecked
system to use.
Every entry in the Fringe Space Encounters table has the potential for fuel. Some are easy,
others are back breaking and dangerous work. If you’re creating your own systems, that’s really
the only rule to follow.
Tracking Mysteries
There's more to the fringe than exploration. There are mysteries and threats waiting to be discovered.
Some worlds will have triggers like Monolith+1. When you enter the system and start exploring, advance
the appropriate track. You might need to apply some common sense here. If you run into a system with
Ruins+1 and you refuse to land on the surface to examine them, don't add anything to the Ruins track.
On later missions, feel free to create your own tracks and add triggers for them. There are more triggers
than there are tracks. That is intentional. It increases the odds that you will fill up a track and it open up
the mysteries to go the next step beyond the track. Perhaps even solving other mysteries or unlocking
new ones. The end of a track (*) and each step past that can also trigger a Missing Persons event if you
are on that type of mission. Use the Random Referee table to see where that takes you.
Monolith Track
A powerful signal rocks the ship and every intercom on the ship squeals out something like whale
song. Analysis or tracking of the signal might provide additional clues.
A great black ‘thing’ beams a crap ton of alien data at you and promptly leaves.
The Monolith jumps in close and wails at you. Its shape is simple but it also exists in multiple
dimensions at the same time. Hopefully, you've prepared the right response. *
Ruins Track
The ruins are ancient and predate any of the other civilizations in this region of space.
There are plenty of curious looping runes, but they hold no meaning, yet.
More ruins, not as badly decayed, some interesting statuary. More clues to find.
Ruins with intact murals help with the translation. Something about a great treasure...
Okay, this city looks too well maintained. Somewhere there is a vault or temple, but you can bet
that it is still protected even though you have seen no guardians or workers. *
Derelict Track
It's a graveyard of ships, some ancient, some disturbingly recent. Nothing functional.
You find a derelict courier, freshly gutted with bright frozen blood glinting like rubies. Maybe the
logs or analyzing the wreck will tell you something.
You get a distress signal, a human distress signal. It's coming from that horrible thing, an
amalgamation of ships; human and alien. It's heading in the direction of Human Space. You
know damn well it is probably a trap. But, what if there are survivors from the courier in there? *
Others Track
Well, you didn't expect that here. It’s a statue or monument to a Fred. The snout and four eyes
are distinctive. There is script that matches what little is known about them.
You pick up a strange sensor ping on a nearby chunk of rock and ice. There's an abandoned
habitat down there. It doesn't take much to determine that Freds built it.
She's dead, Jim. The markings on the hull are Fred script. No surprise, the hull is about 100
tons. I wonder what killed her and what happened to the crew? *
Doomsday Track
Something ripped apart a planet leaving nothing but glowing chunks of debris.
Another dead planet, newer than the last. Whatever happened, it wasn't an accident.
Oh, wow. I didn't think that was possible. How are we going to stop it? Can we? *
How to Solo – It’s easier than you think.
Okay, I’ve thrown a lot of nuts and bolts at you, but how do we bring that all together and play?
First off, there is no wrong way. You can play it sparse or as rich as desired. It’s your game and
for some folks that means a lot of dialog and descriptions. For others, they are quite happy to
play it out in their head and keep a minimum of notes. I prefer digital, but you are totally free
to print everything out, scrawl notes and doodle to your heart’s content.
Our favorite 2d6 sci-fi role playing game is no stranger to solo play and tools. Zozer Games has
Solo which uses a scene based resolution system and Robert Pearce created a huge spreadsheet
of random Trav tools (http://travellerrpgblog.blogspot.com/2016/05/gms-helper-spreadsheet-
so-much.html). Even the main rules have handy tables for random animal encounters.
My favorite solo tools are generic GM engines and custom oracles. Oracles are essentially
random event and encounter tables. The Fringe Space Encounters section is one large oracle at
its heart, it revolves around the questions that spring from jumping into a new system to see
what’s there. It provides events and locations for the player to interact with. Due to the nature
of the fringe, there will be very little space traffic. But, there will be plenty of opportunities to go
planet-side to survey, explore, and get work done (refueling, probe recovery, base set-up, etc.)
Animal and alien encounters will be the most common events with occasional hazards from the
local environment that might require survival rolls and the like. Remember, for a normal bio-
sphere (something other than a barren rock), the referee is supposed to check for encounters
twice a day with a 33% chance of one happening.
GM engines are simple (or optionally complex) methods for answering questions. Some engines
dig into story elements such as plot twists and scene interruptions as part of an encounter.
Check out the CRGE (Conjectural Roleplaying GM Emulator by Zach Best) or the GME (Mythic GM
Emulator by Word Mill Games) for examples of full blown systems for solo story telling.
Because I want to keep it light weight and still stick with two six-sided dice, I’ll borrow from
another game that I wrote. When you have a question and the answer is not obvious or no
applicable skill applies, roll 2d6 and consult the Random Referee table:
Random Referee Table

3 or less No, and…
4-5 No
6 No, but…
7 Delayed / Interrupted
8 Yes, but…
9-10 Yes
11 or more Yes, and…
If the odds are not 50/50, apply a situational modifier from -2 to +2 depending on how likely the
outcome will be true. For example, “Is the door guarded?” Might be 50/50, but if there is
strange things going on you might add +1 and if it is a full station alert +2 to the roll.
Delayed/Interrupted is a special result that adds complication to the question but does directly
answer the question. Going with “Is the door guarded?” again, a delay/interrupt might be, “Just
before you can get around the corner to check, your com-badge begins to vibrate. Incoming
call.”
The Random Referee table can also be used for task resolution when you don’t want to engage a
more detailed set of rules. Give the player a +1 if they have the appropriate skills (or a zero if
they have a level 0 and a -1 if they are unskilled) and a situational modifier if they have the
right tools or if there is a complication like unbearable cold or working under fire.
Let’s go with an example where the crew is on a Corporate Resource Grab. They jump into a
new system and roll 1+4+5 on the Fringe Space Encounter table. [Check the box, when used.]
[✓] 145 X5000000 -GA Size 5, no atmosphere or water

That's no moon… An extensive network of craters indicate it might not be a natural
phenomenon.
Mission Log: We jumped into the system and Dr. Albanez immediately started her survey
sweep. It didn’t take long to spot an anomaly in the inner system. The planet should have had
an atmosphere.
“Does Captain Veroce want to take a closer look?” We had previously determined that Veroce
was an overly cautious leader, so let’s roll 2d6-1 on the Random Referee table. We get a 7 with
mods, delayed/interrupt.
Mission Log: Albanez wants to immediately investigate, but Veroce is having none of it. “Dead
world, Elizabeth. There’s no profit in it.” The two bicker over it for a bit and the Captain decides
to put it up to a vote just to shut the scientist up.
If we were role playing it out, we could include a scene where Dr. Albanez tries to gather votes
for hers case and make some skill rolls and such. We’ll just fast track it with another question,
note that the best questions tend to be binary but still open to interpretation. “Does Albanez get
enough votes to sway the Captain?” We get a 6 – No, but…
Mission Log: Elizabeth makes the rounds and bugs the rest of the crew but fails to get enough
votes to break the deadlock. The Captain decides to make a deal, “Okay, let’s scan the asteroid
belt for mineral claims. I checked with Nav and we can do a fly-by this dead world on the way
out to hitting the gas giant for fuel. No way am I going down there, especially if it is hot.”
A note on writing style, are mission logs the only way to play? Not at all, you can easily write it
out in a more cinematic style or even do something like a movie script. Use whatever works for
you. Mission Logs are a good fit for these examples because they stand out as in-game fiction
separate for the NGS mechanics.
I’d like to explain some of the fuzzy bits to the solo experience. There are a lot of meta-gaming
elements to solo gaming, it can sometimes seem like you’re playing a game about playing a
game. That’s not necessarily a bad thing, but it is something to be aware of. It’s up to the
player to decide on how much role playing they want to put into the experience.
When you need more input to spark the imagination, try using word lists or random images.
Story Cubes are a big favorite for solo gamers since they are open to interpretation and you can
get themed sets. Tarot and Dixit cards can serve a similar role. Another option is to go online
and use icon generators.
https://myvocabulary.com/word-list/sci-fi-vocabulary/ an example word list to use.

http://www.tangent-zero.com/zero_dice/zero_dice.htm my random icon and dice server
We’ll use Zero Dice as an example of how that would look. We rolled up three icons and got.
Mission Log: Dr. Albanez got her close scan of the planet. It did turn out to be a natural thing.
The scars were fresh and as we rounded the planet we saw one massive impact event after
another, it was just like Shoemaker-Levy 9. But instead of crashing into a gas giant, this little
planet had gotten savaged and its atmosphere was literally blown into space by the forces
inflicted on it. We left the dead world and headed out to the gas giant for refueling.
Could we have read those icons a different way? Sure! I love Story Cubes and other image
sources because there are so many ways to assemble them into your own scenes.
Elizabeth’s Diary: Closer examination of AL-2419-1 on approach revealed no significant source

of radiation. I finally convinced the Captain that there was no risk and got the green light to
collect some soil samples for analysis. Hours later, I was standing on the edge of a great rift
where the crust of the planet was ripped open. The desolation extended as far as I could see.
As I turned around, I saw the foot prints from my spacesuit in the ash and dust. It was
sobering to think that I was the only living thing walking on the surface of that dead place.
Fringe Space Encounters
If all you did was jump from system to system, it would be kind of stale. Fortunately, you will
have plenty of opportunities to go planet-side. You’ll need to set up equipment, replenish
supplies and water, refuel (and hack up ice if there is no water), recover launched probes, follow
collectors and hunters, and perhaps explore a mystery or two.
The default systems use a seven digit code for the primary world in the system. For example,
the UWP code X867000 would be a perfect earth-like planet and a good candidate for a colony.
The first digit is the starport type which will be X for most worlds on the fringe. The other codes
represent size, atmosphere, and hydrographic percentage. These values will be explained in the
description for each world. The flags are codes for Asteroids present, Gas Giants present, ‘$’
means that it is a great potential colony site, and a ‘?’ means that it is probably a marginal
colony site. Worlds with native populations ‘!’, can never be claimed as a colony site.
Used Index UWP Flags Description

[] 111 X8670000 -GA$ Size 8, standard atmosphere, hydro 70%
A veritable clone of Earth, perfect for colonization. Full compatible biosphere, but watch
out for predators when doing your survey work. This system has a gas giant suitable for
refueling, and an asteroid belt that can be scanned for mining potential.
[] 112 X6470000 -GA? Size 6, thin-tainted atmosphere, hydro 70%

The atmosphere is tainted with mold, a marginal place for a colony at best. Ruins+1
[] 113 X9550000 -GA$ Size 9 (1.25 G), thin atmosphere, hydro 50%

centaur things. They are few in number and tend to lead isolated lives as they travel from
oasis to oasis. But, they are long lived and have managed to make something of a
civilization for themselves. They have no need for law or government and as each
individual is a walking factory of tools and gear and provides for themselves. Others+1
[] 542 X8AA0000 -GA Size 8, exotic atmosphere, hydro 100%

There's something slightly hallucinogenic about the air; too many mermaids, singing
sharks, and lovely beaches (the only islands are jagged volcanic rock.).
[] 543 X4690000 -A? Size 4, standard atmosphere, hydro 90%

A small world that will make a great refueling station.

Biggest rock in a system full of pebbles. There might be some mining possibilities.
[] 545 X9553304 -G! Size 9 (1.25 G), thin atmosphere, hydro 50%
Olmn: While the population is in the millions, there are only a few thousand of these
mammalian creatures that are actual individuals. Each mountain-like warren is the home
to an Elder who has absolute power over their subjects. They don’t want their status-quo
upset. The fact that they have technology and no qualms against using it makes them
very dangerous.

The air is a little thin, but it is otherwise a nice world. Most life on this planet has taken
on a low energy life style, there are many more trappers and poisonous/venomous
creatures than hunters and chasers.

Another airless rock, no restocking of provisions here. Just the usual scanning
opportunities in the asteroid belt.

Intense solar radiation has stripped this world of life, air, and water. Derelict+1

Good colony world material even if it is a little chilly once you get away from the equator.
Most of the water on this tiny world is ice. Due that and the low gravity, there are many
strange ‘forests’ of ice spires that would make for some interesting scenery.

A lot of rugged terrain combined with the low gravity (.45 G) would make for some
exceptional skiing if you remembered to bring your cold weather gear.

The primary world in this system is just the biggest rock in the belt.
[] 561 X5666232 -A! Size 5, standard atmosphere, hydro 60%

Sardkine: Millions of these ferret-like aliens live in a rural setting with a few grand cities.
Given their relatively low technology, they do have a stable democracy. You might have
to negotiate with the natives for water rights since you will need to land to re-fuel.

Forrayd: Hundreds of thousands of these walking bird-like aliens live in cities with egg
shaped buildings being a predominate style. They have adopted a corporate structure of
government. So, the natives are really keen on water sharing and barter as symbols of
status and power. Ruins+1
[] 563 D8656736 -GA! Size 8, standard atmosphere, hydro 50%

Llor-ay-lloral: Don’t get too close to the millions of spiny creatures that inhabit this
system. The natives here are fractured and have easy access to WMDs. On the other
hand, they are just starting to reach out to space and have the equivalent of a class D
starport in several of their larger cities. Sure, you have no idea how they’re going to react
to alien invaders, but if you need major repairs, this might be one of your best chances
out in the fringe.

A grand place to look for colony sites, the lower than Earth gravity has created some
really large predator and prey species.
[] 565 XA9A0000 -GA Size 10 (1.4 G), dense tainted atmosphere, hydro 10%
Close proximity to the main star in the system has helped to create something of a
pressure cooker of a planet with a hot and heavy climate that is perpetually clouded.
There is plenty of microbial life that makes breathing the air a major risk. Science
would love to get some air and water samples.

Volcanic activity and a heavy metallic dust/ash requires filters, but the mining potential is
great and worth surveying for. Careful with the local plants, some of them have toxic
levels of various metals built-up in them.
As this world slowly dries out, dust and salts are easily picked up in the wind and carried
for hundreds of miles. A dusty haze obscures everything. Ruins+1

Bone dry, any facilities would have to set up near the oases scattered about the surface.
The smell of water is a powerful lure for predator and prey.
[] 613 X5430000 -GA? Size 5, thin tainted atmosphere, hydro30%

Just about the bare minimum for a habitable planet, the plants are black and spindly with
tough skin to absorb as much light as possible and reduce water loss.
[] 614 X68A7746 -A! Size 6, dense atmosphere, hydro 100%

Ishtid: Due to the whole ‘surface’ of the planet being habitable for eel-like creatures, tens
of millions of them is still pretty dispersed. Most of their coral cites are submerged, but
they have taken advantage of the surface world for certain mechanical and chemical
processes as well as some forms of transportation. They’re pretty advanced for an
aquatic culture, the surface of their planet is dotted with mining and industrial spires.
These spires also act as mooring points for their light than air transports. Unfortunately,
they don’t have anything like proper landing pads for a 100 tons spacecraft.
[] 615 X57A0000 -G Size 5, standard tainted atmosphere, hydro 100%

Extreme ocean life makes the surface of this world dangerous.
[] 616 X9530000 -GA? Size 9 (1.25 G), thin atmosphere, hydro 30%
Due to the extreme temps at the lower elevations, the habitable zones for this world are
the numerous mountain peaks and plateaus of this world. The water cycle starts with rain
and snow at the higher elevations. The water then flows into rivers and lakes, and that
flows into the dead lands where the water evaporates and starts over in the mountains
when it condenses.
[] 621 X6893222 -GA! Size 6, dense atmosphere, hydro 90%

Burni: Thousands of these surprisingly human looking islanders live in relative peace with
their Shamans handling the religious and political duties (they’re actually elected officials
in their traditional tribal garb.) Their history certainly predates Humanity’s development
of space travel. Science badly wants some DNA samples.
Evar: While each mountain or cliff-side dwelling only holds a few families, these large
avian creatures dominate the top of the food chain. Being highly mobile and territorial
has both helped and harmed the development of their civilization. Others+1
[] 623 X6990000 -GA! Size 6, dense tainted atmosphere, hydro 90%

The small continents are overrun with aggressive lifeforms under pressure to survive.

Stahlt: Millions of these armored mammals willingly slave away within these low tech
nations so that the elite Directors can play their power games. Aliens would really
destabilize things since the intellectual superiority of the Directors would be immediately
challenged.
[] 625 X6890000 -GA$ Size 6, dense atmosphere, hydro 90%

Nice spot for a colony once you get used to the differences. Survey work required.
[] 626 X3100000 -GA Size 3, trace atmosphere, no water.

A strangely colored rock with the barest of atmospheres, interesting enough to explore for
tourists. Perhaps it was a fragment of some larger structure or planetary body before it
broke up.
[] 631 X9875674 -GA! Size 9 (1.25 G), dense atmosphere, hydro 70%
Masters: Parasitic invaders have taken control of the local population! The short but
strong humanoids of this planet didn’t stand a chance against the Masters. Hundreds of
thousands of them are hosts. There are strict laws against firearms to quell the non-
infected. If there is any benefit to this mess, the general level of technology has
advanced rapidly in recent years. Derelict+1

A large chunk of rock and ice that can barely be called a planet.

A sun baked rock in close orbit around the star. It’s interesting in that it is spinning fast
rather than being tidally locked. And, one side appears to be highly reflective. Science is
curious, of course.

Perhaps the ice volcanoes can be tapped as a fuel source?

This world barely fits the marginal colony profile. Due to the intense heat, only the polar
zones have any free standing water.
[] 636 X7320000 -G Size 7, very thin atmosphere, hydro 20%

Without an asteroid belt and a primary planet that is below average density, this is a
mineral poor system.
[] 641 XAB90000 -GA Size 10 (1.4 G), corrosive atmosphere, hydro 90%
Battery Acid World might be a good name for this place.
[] 642 X6856744 -GA! Size 6, dense atmosphere, hydro 50%
Weltyr Ra: Millions of citizen live in cities and nations under no centralized government.
The people are tall and thin humanoids with a fair degree of technology. The fragmented
political system creates stress and visitors are at risk of being used as pawns.

A few comet strikes to bulk up the atmosphere would be an improvement.
[] 644 X6B90000 - Size 6, corrosive atmosphere, hydro 90%

This lonely planet is the opposite of Battery Acid World, but just as corrosive. Get in and
get out, don’t get caught on the surface for too long. Monolith+1

The limited amount of drinkable water reduces this planet’s value as a colony site.
Wind-swept deserts dominate the interiors of the continents on this world and carve out
fantastic shapes to see.
[] 651 X3523001 -GA! Size 3, thin atmosphere, hydro 20%

[weak electro-magnetic pulse]: These primitive tool using gas bags form tribal groups and
hunt other gas bag flora and fauna. They hunt among the ruins of cities that were built
for another race. Ruins+1

Dead calm punctured by cracking ice are the main attractions on this barren world. Tidal
forces from the gas giant companion slowly twist the ice fields in its embrace.
[] 653 X5790000 -G? Size 5, standard tainted atmosphere, hydro 90%

Most of the available land is active and volcanic in nature, a natural smog belt of gases
and ash encircles the planet. Some of the older islands are dormant and plant life thrives
there. There are no mammals, but amphibians have moved into that eco system.
[] 654 X3620000 -A? Size 3, standard atmosphere, hydro 20%

The super-abundant planet life helps to provide a breathable atmosphere. The super-
abundant plant life has also soaked up and hoarded most of the available water. Um,
some plants might be preying on other plants for water. Beware inquisitive ivy.

This world would make a great colony site. The local plants are built to take a beating
from hurricanes, any colonists should follow that advice.

Oomog: Mysterious 'living gods' rule the few thousand inhabitants that remain here. The
natives look remarkable human, but there are some distinctive features that clearly
indicate an alien origin. Besides total obedience, the gods have few laws.

A true garden world ready for colonists with diverse flora and fauna.
A gray world with salty seas, habitable but not too friendly for humans.

Another water world in case you don't want to fly out to the gas giants.

There's something that smells and you can't escape it. Maybe burning your clothes will
get the stench out.

With barely an atmosphere, all the water/fuel you need is ice. Hard cold work.

Just a rock but with enough metals to make it interesting. Doomsday+1

Appendix B – Mission Specialists and Patrons
Here are some guys and gals to help fill out the mission specific characters. Choose or roll for
each group taking note of mandatory personnel as dictated by the mission type. The player’s
character may qualify for one of these jobs as well. The Collector, Hunter, and Tourist
characters are usually reserved for NPC patrons. Scientists tend to specialize in sensor ops and
analysis. Xenologists specialize in alien biology and first contact scenarios.

Dame Kathe, following the tradition of most nobility, was bored. She managed to
convince a ship captain of ill-repute that he needed an accountant. Eight years later, they
had earned enough loot to retire. After going on a walk-about for eight years, she found
you and decided that a treasure hunt beyond the fringe was the adventure that she
craved. She insists that her technical skills means that she’s not dead weight.

Nef might not be the best race car driver out there, but he’s certainly one of the most
popular. His current goal is to drive on 1,000 alien worlds. After running out of suitable
worlds in human space, he’s turned his eye to the fringe. Belzo insists on bringing his
own custom ATV (four tons.) His steward is also his camera-man.
Tourist 1 – Glyph Awesome, 68572A, Age 28, Entertainer (1) + Bureaucrat (1),
Admin-1 Athletics-0 Bribery-0 Carousing-1 Engineering-0 Gambling-2 Submarine-0
Lord Jessie Rayburn was born with a silver tongue and turned that into a pretty good
career as a rock and roll star. Then, he burned through his inheritance and gambled
almost all of it away. He tried the family business for a while but he was so far behind the
learning curve. Glyph decided it was time to ‘tune out’ society and visit some place less
demanding. The ship belongs to his father and he’s supposed to turn a profit.
Tourist 2 – Lady Islie Able, 68C7AA, Age 26, Athlete (2),

Admin-0 Archery-0 Athletics-2 Carousing-0 Computer-2 Gambling-0 Liaison-1

When Islie’s dad asked her what she wanted for a graduation present, he was expecting a
new ground car. But, Lady Able wanted the stars. Technically, she’s a computer science
major, but her excellence in gymnastics and track helped pay her way through university.
Tourist 3 – Cromwell Queen, 5645F9, Age 46, Entertainer (1) + Bureaucrat (6),

Linguistics-0 Physical Sciences-0 Tracked Vehicle-1 Wheeled Vehicle-0
Cromwell started out his career as a stand-up comic. His best joke? He leveraged that
popularity into a 24 year political career. He’s now sick of the game and decided that
politics is the one thing he won’t have to worry about on the fringe.
Tourist 4 – Thea Mankiller, 767854, Age 22, Colonist (1),

Archery-0 Electronics-0 Mechanics-0 Social Sciences-0 Survival-1 Tracked Vehicle-0
Thea has been sent as a representative of her collective to scout out new sites for a
colony. She’s not particular skilled and one could argue that due to her relative
unpopularity she probably got secretly voted off the colony. In her luggage is a claim
beacon satellite. If she authorizes its deployment into orbit, she can legally claim that
world and the crew gets a 10,000 credit bonus. She would like for the mission to include
some survey drones, otherwise she might ask to go inspect several worlds in person.
Tourist 5 – Lady Tabula Glaw, 48698A, Age 42, Noble (5) + Surface Defense (1),
Admin-1 Athletics-0 Carousing-1 Energy Rifle-1 Gambling-0 Jack o' Trades-1 Leadership-0
Life Sciences-0 Motorboats-0 Piercing Weapons-1 Slashing Weapons-1 Space Sciences-0
Lady Glaw wanted to see something new. She came up with the idea on her own to go
out on the fringe, but her husband forbid it saying she was too frail. She used her status
to swing a recruitment deal and joined the Army where she became a crack shot with a
laser rifle just to prove her husband wrong.
Tourist 6 – Oxide Alice, 887B59, Age 26, Entertainer (2),
Admin-0 Athletics-0 Bribery-1 Carousing-2 Gambling-0 Natural Weapons-1

Oxide Alice is the pen name for Alice ‘Ox-Eye’ Ramirez. She wrote some smoking hot
romance novels and now has hit a brick wall in the creativity department. She decided
she needed new scenery and change in the people she associated with. Alice hopes that
will reset her muse.

Blaze won a lottery and is now stinking rich. One of his bucket list items is to go trophy
hunting out on the fringe. “Hold my beer!” might be heard way more than it should be.

Eve is a famous bow hunter and is seeking new game. Due to the demands of her
referred hunting style, if you’re not as stealthy as her, she would rather you stay far
away. As in, “Go sit on the ship and I’ll call if I need you.”
Hunter 3 – Jipp Borhoffer, B687B4, Age 42, Barbarian (1) + Surface Defense + (2) +

Jipp turned a family claim on a diamond mine into a good sized fortune, joined the
military to gain citizenship, and then drifted around trying to find himself. He realized
that he missed the barbarian life and decided to try his skills out in the fringe.

Flash has pulled off many a con jobs, but this one is unusual even for her. She’s
collecting pets and doesn’t care if they’re alive or dead. She has her sights set on
anything cute and collectable (and can turn a profit.) She insists on having low berths
installed so she can store her trophies.
Hunter 5 – Iggy Riglana, 979777, Age 46, Hunter (1) + Aerospace Defense (5) + Drifter (1),

Iggy is not a particular skilled hunter. He prefers to ‘stalk’ his prey from the inside of an
air-raft or comfortable safari vehicle. He’s willing to give up his one ton of luxuries for a
grav vehicle or ATV. He has a bet with an old friend to kill the ugliest thing in space.
Hunter 6 – Marquis Palani ‘Lani’ Varadan, 75697D, Age 46, Agent (6) + Surface Defense (1),

The Marquis served honorably in a service he can’t name. He spent the last term on
attached duty to the military. Now retired, he wants to pursue his hobby of bird hunting
without having to look over his shoulder for people trying to settle old scores.
Missing Person 1 – Faheed Sass is a powerful energy tycoon and he’s looking for his daughter,
Soledad Negiva. She was a corporate scientist on a previous pathfinder mission.
Missing Person 2 – Leigh Urbane is a news reporter with suspiciously deep pockets. He’s
looking for any information on the famous pilot, Emma Rodeway. Emma disappeared
on a scout mission several years ago into the fringe.
Missing Person 3 – Duke Oconoco sponsored a previous mission to survey possible mining sites.
He seems more interested in recovering his ship and the jump core than the crew. The
Attuned on that unfortunate mission was Nadine Enka, a drifter with a checkered past.
Missing Person 4 – Grover Holden has scraped together every credit he has to find his son,
Lt. Lex Holden. Lex was the navigator on a Navy sponsored expedition. The Navy has
remained tight lipped about the fate of that mission.
Missing Person 5 – Diez Cash is looking for Tetra Tenara. Tetra skipped out on a lot of creditors
and you don’t cheat Mr. Cash. Even leaving known space won’t put you beyond his reach.
Diez will actually pay a full mission bonus if you bring back proof of Tenara’s death.
Missing Person 6 – Ellen Crane is the agent for Lilu Naropeak. Lilu ran off with her roadie,
Frex Wilson for a fringe tour. Ellen would like to know what happened, as a friend and
because there is a substantial insurance settlement involved. On the off chance that Lilu
and Frex have gone native and started their own colony, she wants you take along a
release form for Lilu to sign. She’ll pay the full mission bonus for returning Lilu or a
signed document.

Captain Plazma is not a grunt. Normal people don’t spend 20 years in the Army and then
join the Marines for giggles. If she’s probably on a secret mission for the Marines.

Appendix C – Fringe Space Maps
Here are some sample maps you can use. They were created with the MapGen web toy over at
http://www.tangent-zero.com. I used 0000, 0010, 0020, and 0030 as starting hex values for
the unexplored sectors. The text format allows the maps to be portable across a number of
devices and programs and easy to edit as long as you can use a fixed width font like Courier
New. They can even be imported into most graphical editors if desired.
Possible starting locations after the long jump include #04, #20, and #28 (row 00.)
