EQUIPMENT
WEAPONS
R94 ARCANE RIFLE
The R94 Arcane Rifle is a magically powered rifle. It uses
inlaid spells to propel the bullets. There is a display
screen on the rifle which lets the user draw spellwork on
the bullet itself, though the bullets surface area limits
what can be accomplished with the spellwork.
Because someone's Arcana knowledge can increase
the effectiveness of this weapon, it gains the Arcana
Magitek weapon quality.

GEAR
ARTIFICER’S GEAR
Artificer’s gear includes all the tools found in the
artificer’s toolkit, as well as advanced diagnostic tools
and an artificial intelligence which helps troubleshoot
problems.
While in possession of artificer’s gear, you are
considered to be in possession of an artificer’s toolkit.
When using artificer's gear, while making an artificing
check, add s to the result.
Craftidore

DIVINE PISTOL
The Divine Pistol is a certain type of pistol with prayers
written on the handles. It comes in a number of different
makes and models, the main difference between them
being which god the prayers are written to. The gods
tend to aid the aim of those who follow them.
Because someone's faith can increase the effectiveness
of this weapon, it gains the Divine Magitek weapon
quality. Craftidore
LIGHTBOW
The Lightbow may seem low-tech, but it is a highly
innovative invention. It funnels the energy of the user’s
surroundings into the string of the bow. The tension of
the bowstring fluctuates based on the user’s need,
making it easy to draw the bow while retaining attack
power upon release.
The user can use their Primal magical capability to
increase the bow’s attack power.
Craftidore
ARTIFICER’S TOOLKIT
The artificer's toolkit provides the tools necessary to
build, disassemble, repair, or modify just about anything
mechanical or Magitek based. A true artificer would not
be caught dead without their toolkit.
The artificer’s toolkit is treated as the “right tool for
the job” when making artificing checks (as well as
mechanics checks, if your setting is using the Mechanics
skill). Craftidore

PETTLERS
With careful pruning, a Pettler’s incredible floral
arrangements will attract outsiders to their even more
incredible deals. A relatable face always seems to set the
outsiders at ease, and the mind-altering pheromones are
just an added bonus. Pettlers can typically be found on

FIBIAN
Fibians come from a swampy world on the outer edge of
civilized space. Like many humanoids, their history is
marred by warfare, but as they became a space-faring
people, their planet was united. They are an industrious
species and almost all Fibians take an active interest in
learning how things work from a very early age.
Appearance: Fibians are strong, frog-like humanoids
standing roughly the same height as most humans. They
have bald, frog-like heads and very wrinkly necks. Their
hands and feet are webbed, and most Fibians spend more
time out of water than in it.
Society: Throughout most of their history, Fibians were
tribal. After the great unification of the tribes, their
society started to more closely resemble that of other
interstellar worlds. Still, honor is a very important
quality to the Fibians, and they are known for their
loyalty and honesty. They are often mechanics, pilots, or
other careers involving machinery, as such workings are
often revered as almost divine in nature.

GRIS
Gris is the primary inhabited “planet” of Chanis, and
all of the habitable areas exist on the inner surface of the
ring (i.e., the side facing Lus and Igris). Centrifugal force
provides the majority of subjective gravity on the
internal side of the ring and the inside edge is
approximately 0.25 AU, or 235 million kilometers, from
Lus. With a circumference of approximately 1476.5M
km and an 11000km width, Gris has a habitable surface
area of about 1.6242034e+13 square kilometers--or a
crapton of real estate as it’s known to most explorers (in
comparison, Earth’s surface area is 5.101e+9 square
kilometers).
The diurnal period, due to the slightly slower
rotational speed of Igris and its enormous rectangular
shading tiles, of all inhabited regions of Gris is 26 hours
split into 13 hour days and 13 hour nights. Grisians
rarely track time beyond the diurnal period, as there is
no significant seasonal variance. However, Gris
completes a full rotation around Lus (akak., a “year”)
approximately every 53.5 hours, given its tangential
rotational speeds of around 1,220 km/s.
Gris’ atmosphere is kept in the ring via an edgewall
which extends 2000 km from the external (or
“backside”) of the ring. Enormous mountains
characterize the edgewall, with plentiful sheer faces and
often shifting or avalanching surfaces. The internal floor
of Gris extends, on average, about 400 km above the
backside. As a result, there are various “underdarks”
made up of subterranean systems and expanses
inhabited by unique flora and fauna throughout Gris.
Large, antenna-like towers that protrude from the rim
of the edgewall at regular intervals are common
attractions to spacefaring visitors to Chanis. These
towers extend to (astronomically speaking) a fairly close
range of counterpart antennae located on Lusleen. As the
structures orbit within range of each other, magical
energy transfers between them. This maintains a certain
equilibrium within the greater structure of the entire
Chanis system and is part of a cosmically sized circuit
that soothes Lus (which would otherwise have wildly
variable solar weather) and redirects and slows foreign
objects such as meteors, comets, etc. approaching the
system at dangerous vectors as a sort of shield.
Gris is inhabited by myriad different species and
cultures across its massive habitable surface. These
species and cultures are of varying characteristics and
development, but generally are not actually spacefaring.
Familiarity with magic and capacity for its use also varies
greatly across groups. It is not uncommon for
civilizations to be totally ignorant of most others on Gris
and beyond. However, travel and adventure is common
across the ringworld, and though only a small handful of
starfaring cultures inhabit Gris, almost all are

Gris is a nexus of magical energies and all magic (or
equivalent) related checks receive a j while on Gris.
Gris Adventure Seeds
● A crash landing due to collisions in the Riverbelt has
left the PCs stranded in a technologically primitive
region of Gris. The PCs will need to supplement
their ship repairs with magical artifacts from the
area cultures to bring the ship up to capability to
make it to Lusleen.
● The PCs make first contact with a Grisian culture
that resides, at least partially, in one of the many
underdarks of the ring. The culture has no real
knowledge beyond the immediately adjacent
regions, and certainly is unfamiliar with spacefaring
civilizations or the technology for such.
● A city on Gris is under threat from meteor rains
emanating from the Riverbelt! What started as a
few, if highly unusual, meteor strikes in the outlying
areas has rapidly become a meteor swarm of smaller
objects. It seems things will get worse--more
destructive and deadlier--before they get better.
Without help from the PCs, the entire city is at risk
of being pulverized out of existence.
● A businessman from Lusleen wants the PCs to
investigate a competitor’s production facilities on
Gris’ surface. For an additional fee, the businessman
would like the PCs to commit some light espionage
and sabotage--or some heavy sabotage involving
assassination for a proportionally larger fee.
IGRIS
Igris is a spiraling ribbon orbiting Lus just inside the
orbit of Gris. Igris comprises an 11,000 km wide ribbon
with eight (8) twists and orbit at a slightly slower rate
than Gris, having an orbital period of 107 hours. As a
result of the slower orbital period and twists, Gris
experiences a diurnal cycle. As between Gris and Igris,
the ribbon completes a rotational period every 53.5
hours.
Igris is home primarily to two different species that
can exist in its harsh, sunwashed and airless
environment: the Ethereals and the Automata. However,
a number of domed cities and spaceports dot Igris’
otherwise perfectly smooth and empty surface, on both
the Lus-side and the Gris-side of Igris. The domed cities
house various organic and other species that cannot
survive that near-vacuum of Igris’ surface.
 The Ethereals are made of a smokey energy that
somehow maintains a generally humanoid shape. The
Ethereal civilization is unfathomably ancient and
thought to be as old as Chanis (or at least its current
construction) itself. According to legend and rumor, the
Ethereals were originally constructs of whatever forces
first built Chanis, intended to maintain Gris and Igris.
The Automata are not so much a species as much as a
loosely related collection of sentient machine beings. The
Automata are all that remains of a short-lived highly
technological empire that conquered a substantial
portion of Gris. Eventually the empire fell and the
Automata fled to Igris where, due to the nature of their
construction, they were able to flourish without worry of
organic beings interfering (or enacting retribution for
acts related to their imperial origin).
Another remarkable feature of Igris is that it is not a
“complete” ring. Igris actually extends from polar
opposite sides of Lusleen, securely anchored to the
labyrinthine once-moon. As Lusleen is tidally locked to
Lus, it helps secure and stabilize Igris’ orbit.
Igris is a realm of shadows and contrasts. Stealth
checks on Igris receive a j and perception checks receive
a j.
Igris Adventure Seeds
● A war is brewing between the Ethereals and the
Automata. The PCs have been caught up in the
middle of the conflict.
● A mad Automata is attempting to destroy one of the
dome cities of Igris! The PCs must find a way to stop
them before their plans come to fruition and
countless organics die or lose their homes!
● Grob Nekrteks, a technonecromancer of little
renown, has converted a dome city into Grobbers--
strange hiveminded hybrids blending organic tissue
and Automata technology and slaved to Grob’s will.
Grob and his Grobbers are expanding rapidly across
Igris and rumor has it that Grob intends to sabotage
Igris so that it collapses into Gris, giving the
technonecromancer an endless supply of organic
flesh and technological hardware to build his great
technonecromantic empire!
LUSLEEN
Lusleen is, other than the red dwarf star Lus, perhaps the
one remaining natural planetary structure in Chanis.
Even then, however, Lus has been hollowed out over the
eons to the point that the moon’s surface is little more
than a regolith skin wrapping a honeycombed interior of
tunnels and chambers making up Lusleen’s megalopolis.
While about the size of Earth’s moon, it is in fact half the
total mass as a result of the endlessly mazing tunnels,
caverns, catacombs, tramways, and the like.
Lusleen’s surface has no atmosphere and, outside of
the various spaceports scattered across the surface that
lead directly into the internal city, is entirely devoid of
both organic or constructed life. Two massive structures
tangentially extend 3,000 km out of each of Lusleen’s
poles. These structures are used to harvest and distribute
magical energies from Gris’ rotation through the system-
wide circuit of Chanis.
Lusleen’s interior is home to an enormous chaotic
metropolis. Various governments run various districts,
but the general state of Lusleen is fairly anarchic. Crime
syndicates run rampant and oligarchical business
consortia are the ultimate wielders of power in Lusleen.
More so than anywhere else in Chanis, Lusleen
principally runs on money and power--and money is
necessary to buy power.
The difficulty of finding items for sale on Lusleen is
reduced once, to a minimum of Easy (k); however, all
such checks are upgraded once. On a d, the PCs have
run afoul of an oligarch and/or a local criminal
syndicate, as appropriate.
Lusleen Adventure Seeds
● An oligarch is recruiting offworlders to gather
intelligence on the competition. Whatever the PCs
ultimately uncover, the oligarch will demand they
follow up with a little “aggressive espionage” or will
put a bounty on their heads.
● Criminal syndicates are going to war and the PCs
better choose a side! There will be no neutral
ground in this conflict.
● Deep in Lusleen there is an abandoned section of
the city that is rumored to house ancient
laboratories still holding untold treasures. However,
just because the area is abandoned, does not mean it
is uninhabited.
RIVERBELT
The Riverbelt is a vaguely defined region of pulverized
materials caught in the various fields of force and
influence that act as a mild sort of shield for Gris.
Objects caught in the Riverbelt are pulverized to a fine
dust in the Lus-facing side of the stream before being
cycled to the side of the stream covering Gris’ backside.
The dust on the backside is absorbed into Gris itself to
repair and maintain the various structures and systems
keeping the ringworld sound.
BOOST #6: SPACE FANTASY
GENESYS

 The pulverizing side of the Riverbelt is a chaotic and
dangerous place, where objects constantly collide and
disintegrate each other into ever smaller pieces. Only the
truly desperate hide in the Riverstream and call it home-
-but those who are able to survive the location are
generally left in isolation. Occasionally pirates and other
scoundrels will try to make a living in the Riverstream as
ships necessarily have to pass through it if they wish to
transit between the surface of Gris and Igris, Lusleen, or
the greater cosmos beyond.
An aesthetically pleasant side-effect of the
Riverstream is that it provides an artificial starry night
sky to inhabitants of Gris, who would otherwise have
nothing more than the pitch black of Igris above them
for their night sky. Rather, the pulverizing objects reflect
light back to Gris and give the Riverstream the
appearance of an ever shifting and flowing starfield.
Piloting checks in the Riverbelt are upgraded once.
On a d, the PCs crashland on a roving asteroid and will
need to make repairs quick before it inevitably collides
with other objects in the Riverbelt!

● Bounty hunters, Hawk and Hound, are on the prowl

 CHAPTER 1: THE
SAPPHIRE LILY
I n this short adventure, the PCs have a dangerous
encounter with henchmen of the dastardly Despot of
Vordun. The characters quickly discover an evil plot that
may lead to the Despot’s victory over the Solar Republic.
Pursuing the Despot’s minions will take the PCs to
forgotten asteroid caves and aboard a beautiful prototype
star ship. Will the heroes help to protect the Republic
and thwart the Despot’s plan? Will they seek fame and
glory, or are they only interested in a reward of cold hard
cash? And will they be tempted by the love of a
mysterious royal somehow central to the Despot’s plot?

stations dancehalls, famous for their bawdy
entertainment. The station is also a place to find work for
a crew of traders, smugglers, or guns-for-hire.
A Ship, a Ship!
This adventure assumes that the PCs are senior officers
aboard a trading and light escort starship (a Kissimmee-
class Cutter as detailed in the second section of this
Gazateer), and that said ship is already docked at Gymir
Station. Have the players choose an appropriately
adventurous name for their vessel - something like
Ganymede’s Veil, or The Flare Runner.
As All Good Stories Do
The adventure begins in a nightclub, the Nine Daughters
Hall. A big band, twenty players strong, commands the
main stage, belting out a neo-swing number that has the
dance floor jumping. A full-throated singer lays soaring
vocals across the hard-hitting rhythm and biting hooks.
The air is smoky and alight with the glow of cigarillos,
the haze pierced by two spotlights shining down from a
catwalk far above.
The PCs are somewhere in the club, perhaps at the bar
ordering a drink, perhaps on the floor with a newly met
dance partner, or perhaps enjoying a proper meal for the
first time in months at one of the white-clad tables that
ring the dance floor.
Ranged (Heavy) weapons are not allowed in the Nine
Daughters Hall, and security will have their eye on any
characters otherwise armed. Add j to Stealth or
Skulduggery rolls that an obviously armed character
makes.
A Matter of Price
A scuffle breaks out near one of the PCs, between an
aggressive, broad-shouldered woman in a tailored ship’s
suit and a slim man in a shiny silver tunic. The woman
has a hold on the man’s tunic, and she uses her leverage
to pull and shake him. She shoves him, sending the man
on a collision course with one of the PCs.
A successful Average (kk) Coordination check will
avoid the collision, allowing the man to fall prone at the
PC’s feet. Failure results in the PC also being knocked
prone.
A successful Hard (kkk) Athletics check will allow the
PC to catch the man and avoid the collision.Other PCs
may wish to scan the crowd or gather more information
about the woman. Immediately, they see two other
toughs clad in ship’s suits with markings that match the

woman’s own. A successful Average (kk) Perception
check reveals the following:
● The woman is armed with a Burner and is wearing
a Deckhand’s Belt. Her companions are each armed
with a Stinger.
● The club’s security personnel have noticed the
disturbance but are not moving to stop it.
Read or paraphrase the following:
The man in the silver tunic, face turning red, protests,
‘You agreed to half upfront, Morgessa, and I won’t be
intimidated into less.’
‘How dare you argue with me, you petty thief! You’ll take
what I give you, and like it, Fleinn.’
The woman, Morgessa, is now flanked by her two
henchmen.
‘I have friends of my own,’ says Fleinn. ‘As you will soon
learn.’
Morgessa’s eyes turn to the PC.
Initiative can be rolled here, and a structured
encounter can begin. Morgessa and her thugs intend to
rough up Yotsen Fleinn and any of his compatriots. They
begin the encounter assuming that the PC is one of their
targets.
A successful Hard (kkk) Charm or Coercion check
will convince Morgessa that the PC is unaffiliated with
the man they intend to intimidate. Otherwise, and if the
thugs act first, one of Morgessa’s thugs attacks the PC
and the other attacks Fleinn. Morgessa stands back,
using her Inspiring Rhetoric (Improved) talent to bolster
her henchmen.
The thugs do not draw their weapons, using their fists
instead. PCs who draw their weapons will be targeted by
the club’s security people who have been bribed by
Morgessa to stay out of the fistfight. Security will tell
them to holster their weapons and enforce the command
with their Stun Rays and Boarding Maces.
If Morgessa’s original target is incapacitated, she
gloats for a moment and then exits the scene.
If Morgessa and her thugs become outnumbered,
Morgessa drops below half of her wound or strain
threshold, or one of her henchmen is incapacitated, she
immediately withdrawals from the fight, using her Live
to Fight Again ability.
If the PCs question Yotsen Fleinn, a successful
Average (kk) Charm or Coercion check or a small bribe
can reveal any of the following:
● Morgessa hired Fleinn to steal an item through an
off-station contact.
● Fleinn knows that Morgessa represents a powerful
interest, but no specifics.
● The item is in Ambassador Sudh’s residence, envoy
from Daradeen.
● The item is a jewel called the Sapphire Lily. Fleinn
does not know why Morgessa wants the item.
A successfully Average (kk) Knowledge check can
reveal any of the following about the Daradeen:
● The Regency of Daradeen is an insular culture that
spans three systems and possesses advanced
starships.
● While contact is limited, they do trade with the
Solar Republic and have an ambassador on Gymir
Station.
● Daradeen are gender fluid as a rule, and even have a
fluid biological expression.
If the PCs somehow capture one of Morgessa’s thugs,
he will bite down on a hollow tooth that contains a
deadly toxin before answering questions.
Examining a thug’s body, or if a PC managed to pick-
pocket a thug earlier, discovers a ship’s badge that bears
the sigil of the Despot of Vordun and a small hardcase
with 2 adrenaline hypos and a mystery syringe. A Hard
(kkk) Medicine check reveals the syringe contains
metamorphic serum (see Vordun Thug profile later in
this gazette). The same check, or a separate successful
Average (kk) Medicine check of the body, finds
numerous injection scars.
A successful Easy (k) Knowledge check can impart
the following about the Despot of Vordun:
● A former hero of the Solarian Navy, the Despot now
seeks to rule the Solar Republic.
● The conflict is at a near stalemate despite the
Solarian advantage in numbers, as the Despot is
crafty and willing to sacrifice his troops.
Fleinn does not hang around for long, saying he has
other business to attend.
Hard to Refuse
The PCs may be interested enough to pursue the
Despot’s plot on their own. If not, or if at any point the
GM wants to increase the stakes, they are approached by
woman who introduces herself as Sharan Joels, of
Solarian Intelligence.
Agent Joels knows Morgessa is an agent of the Despot
of Vordun. Solarian assets are spread thin, and so she is
enlisting the PCs to disrupt Morgessa’s plan, whatever it
is.
Agent Joels appeals to the PCs patriotism first, then
offers a reward of 10k Sols, then informs the PCs that
their ship will be impounded until and unless they stop
Morgessa.
The agent could well become a thorn in the PCs’ side,
spurring them on when they get stuck by revealing
information they missed. She can be aggressive and
annoying, which will be all the better when she is
revealed to be a double agent later.
On the Trail
If the PCs want to ask around the seedier side of the
Station, a successful Average (kk) Streetwise check will
reveal any of the following:
● Morgessa has been trying to hire a sneakthief or
picklock for a tough job.
● Fleinn has spread the word that Morgessa cannot be
trusted.
For information about the Daradeen ambassador, an
Average (kk) Charm or Coercion check at a nightlife
establishment reveals any of the following:
● Ambassador Sudh loves the nightlife of Gymir
station and can often be found at the I Lopt
Gambling Parlor.
● The ambassador is hosting guests from Daradeen,
who arrived on a Baadal-class shuttle rather than
docking their advanced starship with the station.
Well Met
If the PCs want to find the ambassador it is easy to track
them down at the I Lopt Gambling Parlor.
Accompanying Ambassador Sudh are two important
Daradeen guests who are on a visit to the station.
Representative Gnanik is older and officious, while the
attaché Anju is young and curious. The three stand at a
Centauri roulette table as bets are placed. A Daradeen
security officer is close by, armed with a Flare Rifle.
Upon being informed of the plot to steal an item from
their residence, Ambassador Sudh realizes their passkey
is missing. Gnanik and Anju immediately become
alarmed.
Read or paraphrase the following:

On the way to the Ambassador’ residence, a
successful Average (kk) Charm check will cause one of
the Daradeen to reveal the existence of the Sapphire Lily.
t generated on the check can reveal that the possessor
of the Lily can demand the future regent of Daradeen’s
hand in marriage.
The Daradeen, if asked, say that the regent-to-be is
aboard a nearby ship. A successful Hard (kkk)
Vigilance check reveals that to be a lie. If pressed further,
the Daradeen will not reveal the location of the future
regent.
The Ransacked Residence
The Daradeen Ambassador’s residence is in the habitat
ring of Gymir station. Reaching this area requires travel
up to the central hub and then back down one of the
structural spokes. A passkey is required to enter the ring
level on which the residence is located.
A successful Hard (kkk) Computers or Average
(kk) Skulduggery check utilizing a punch card machine
will bypass security. Alternately, a Hard (kkk)
Mechanics check can brute force the security locks.
This level is gorgeously appointed, with beds of exotic
plantings, fountains, and ponds full of colorful fish. Faux
clouds pattern the lighting arrays overhead. Balconies
and suspended walkways overlook the lower residence
levels and an artificial stream a hundred meters below.
Whether the PC arrive at the Ambassador’s residence
on their own or with the Daradeens, they find the large
doorway to the suite open and unattended. The security
systems have been deactivated, and a guard lies
unconscious just inside the entrance.
The guard can be roused with a successful Average
(kk) Medicine check. They say that they were surprised
BOOST #6: SPACE FANTASY
13 GENESYS
and overwhelmed by several attackers. The guard
describes a man that the PCs recognize as Yotsen Fleinn.
A search determines that the Sapphire Lily is missing.
If the PCs are alone, a successful Average (kk)
Perception check finds 2k in precious gems and a safe. A
successful Hard (kkk) Skulduggery check will open the
safe, which contains 4k Sols in hard currency. All this
should indicate that the thieves were only after the
Sapphire Lily.
A successful Hard (kkk) Computers check will give
the PCs access to the scanner logs and the physical
characteristics of the thieves. One is undeniably Yotsen
Fleinn. A muddled audio recording gives a clue: the
phrase Caves of Disin. A successful Average (kk)
Knowledge check allows the PC to recognize the name
as referring to the asteroid caves on one of Aegir’s larger
moonlets, Blar Kirkja.
If present, the Daradeens will offer the PCs a reward
of 10k Sols if they are able to retrieve the Sapphire Lily.
Anju will also insist on accompanying the PCs.
Ambassador Sudh and Representative Gnanik at first
argue against the idea, but Anju quickly reminds them of
the importance of the Lily, and they relent.
If the PCs do not want Anju to accompany them, the
reward is increased to 13k Sols if they acquiesce. If not
enough, Anju will attempt an Opposed Charm check, or
begin a social encounter, to convince the PCs. They are
willing to pay up to 15k Sols in the end.
Who is Anju?
At this point the PCs may suspect that young Anju is
more than just an attaché. If pressed with a successful
Hard (kkk) Charm check, they will admit to being a
member of the Royal Court, and therefor of higher rank
than both the ambassador and Representative Gnanik.
The truth is that Anju is the future Regent, and they
will return to claim the throne of Daradeen once they
have found a foreign ‘noble’ to marry. What constitutes a
‘noble’ is unclear even to Anju, but they intend to choose
their own spouse. The return of the Sapphire Lily is the
only way to assure that outcome.
The PCs may discover Anju’s true identity when the
GM thinks best, preferably at a dramatic moment.
While accompanying the PCs, Anju can prove useful
by upgrading important rolls with their Born Leader
ability. They can also serve as the voice of the GM,
helping to spur the PCs on toward recovering the
Sapphire Lily.
Well, Well, Well
Just after the PCs exit the Ambassador’s residence, they
hear a chime indicating an artificial rainstorm is about to
begin. They have time to reach the lifts, needing only to
cross the suspended walkway leading to the lift lobby.
Here they are accosted by several of Morgessa’s thugs.
Read or paraphrase the following:
Three well-muscled, rough looking people block
the walkway ahead. Their ship suits are familiar,
marking them as more of Morgessa’s thugs.
‘Morgessa was right, you are involved with that
rat Fleinn! Hand over the jewel, or you all are
going to see how rats are delt with in Vardun!’
There is the hum of a pair of Knucklers powering
on from behind you, as two more thugs appear
from around a fountain.
They are demanding the Sapphire Lily, convinced the
PCs are in league with Fleinn. This will likely start a
combat encounter. The thugs are not pulling punches,
and one or more immediately inject themselves with
Metamorphic Serum. They will kill the PCs if they can.
The walkway is narrow enough to create a bottleneck,
and the thugs may try to push the PCs over the edge,
triggering a fall at short range to another walkway below.
After the first round of combat, another chime sounds
from overhead, and an artificial rainstorm begins. This
adds j to all skill checks, and jj to combat checks.
Tracking Fleinn
If the PCs have not discovered that Yotsen Fleinn has the
Lily, a successful Easy (k) Perception check finds a silver
broach in the lift lobby or on the walkway which the PCs
recognize as belonging to Fleinn. The PCs might also
receive a hand radio call from Sharan Joels the
intelligence agent that puts them on Fleinn’s trail, or a
call from Fleinn himself offering to sell the Sapphire Lily.
If the latter, then Fleinn tells the PCs to meet him on Blar
Kikja, a moonlet with extensive natural caves.
There is a security terminal in the lift lobby, and
others throughout the station. A successful Average
(kk) Computers check at one can search the station’s
logs for Yotsen Fleinn’s name and find that he has
requested clearance for a shuttle departure. Alternately, a
successful Average (kk) Streetwise check in the
commercial section of the station finds someone who
overheard Fleinn talking about ‘going to ground’ for a
few days until something blows over. A successful
Average (kk) Knowledge check can reveal that the
many moonlets orbiting Aegir often serve as hiding
places for smugglers and thieves.
If the PCs are not able to pick up Fleinn’s trail, they
can spot him entering a lift to the docking spires.
Pursuing him will lead them to a shuttle bay just as he is
departing the station. As a reminder, the spires and
station center are a micro-gravity environment.
SECTION 2: blar Kirkja
Blar Kirkja is an irregular moonlet that spans fifty
kilometers at its widest point. Extensive caves and mine
shafts wind beneath the grey rock and dust of the
planetesimal’s surface. One of the first bodies around
Aegir to be mined, Blar Kirkja was treated with an
almost superstitious reverence in the early days of
Epsilon Eridani’s settlement, but that time was centuries
ago.
Quiet, and Dark
An old mining dock is the only facility with power
readings on Blar Kirkja. Tall cliffs surround the space
dock, requiring a successful Dangerous Driving check to
dock with one of the two passive docking ports that are
still active. The other port is occupied by another saucer
shuttle craft. As the shuttle docks, the characters feel the
light gravity of the moonlet take hold.
The PCs’ saucer has spacesuits for the party, which
will be required to enter the facility as it is no longer
pressurized. A successful Average (kk) Mechanics or
Skulduggery check is needed to open the secured
docking hatch.
Once inside, the PCs find a cavernous, empty cargo
bay. The meager lamps provided with the spacesuits
barely illuminate the cart rails that lead into two large
tunnels cut into the rock wall opposite the dock. A
control station, stripped of its parts, overlooks the room
from atop a raised platform.
If the PCs wish to investigate the other shuttle, a
successful Hard (kkk) Mechanics or Skulduggery
check opens the docking hatch. Success on an Average
(kk) Computers check confirms that this was Yotsen
Fleinn’s shuttle.
A successful Easy (k) Perception or Survival check
spots fresh tracks through the dust on the cargo bay’s
floor. a can reveal any of the following:
● A symbol that marks the same passage to which the
tracks lead.
BOOST #6: SPACE FANTASY
GENESYS
14
 ● There is evidence of other recent visitors to this
facility.
● It seems that people regularly use this dock every
few weeks.
A successful Average (kk) Knowledge check, or a
generated on the check, can reveal any of the following
about the symbol:
● The marking is the name Disa, written in an old
runic language.
● The rune is written in a manner that indicates a
direction, like a trail marker.
● There were once religious cults in the Epsilon
Eridani system that used this ancient language.
● Disa is the name of a mythological woman
associated with sacrifice.
A Forgotten Place
One of the tunnels leads into the housing section of the
facility and is ultimately a dead end. Again, anything of
use has been stripped, and the old mess hall, infirmary,
entertainment room, and crew quarters are eerie in the
airless dark. A successful Average (kk) Perception
check discovers an old, but serviceable, medicine case
and four palliative tonics.
The other tunnel, where the tracks from the cargo bay
lead, opens into an ore processing center. Huge conveyor
belts and giant bins and chutes are all that remains of the
machinery here. Beyond this begin the mining tunnels
leading deeper into the rock.
In the ore processing center the PCs encounter an old
mining robot. A successful out-of-turn Hard (kkk)
Vigilance check will spot the robot before it activates. A
successful Hard (kkk) Stealth check is required to
approach the robot without triggering its defenses. A
successful Hard (kkk) Mechanics check can disable the
robot. Otherwise, the large machine activates and attacks
the PCs.
Read or paraphrase the following:
A cloud of dust accompanies the vibrations
through the rock beneath your feet, as the ancient
robot unfolds itself. Kaleidoscopic blinking lights
illuminate the mist of particles that rain down
around you, while the machine’s large manipulator
arms cut deep furrows of shadow though the glow.
The robot focuses its receptors on your group. One
sturdy leg swings forward as it attacks.
BOOST #6: SPACE FANTASY
15 GENESYS
hhh generated on any check during the encounter can
loosen an air hose on that character’s spacesuit, causing
the loss of fifteen minutes of breathable air before they
can reattach the hose.
During the encounter, it is recommended to use the
additional activation optional rule for the robot. On this
activation, the robot can use their Stomp ability to shake
the machinery and rock walls with its heavy footfalls,
triggering an out-of-turn Hard (kkk) Coordination
check for each of the PCs. Failure knocks the character
prone, while each h generated causes one wound.
Success on an Average (kk) Perception check in the
ore processing center finds an emergency kit with two
palliative tonics and three adrenaline hypos.
Deeper, One Must Go
Quickly finding their way through the tunnels requires
the PCs to succeed on an Average (kk) Survival check,
with an upgrade if they previously discovered the recent
tracks through the dust. This takes one hour, minus
fifteen minutes per a after the first. Failure means the
PCs become lost in the tunnels and luckily reach the final
chamber with only a few minutes of oxygen left in their
suits. a can be used to find the following:
● More of the glyphs mark the cave walls, and clearly
indicate a path through the tunnels.
● The recent tracks follow the path indicted by the
symbols.
● A spacesuit lies crumpled along a passage,
containing a desiccated body and a half-full oxygen
tank with an hour of breathable air.
As the PCs reach the end of the maze of tunnels, they
encounter an airlock set into a stone wall. A successful
Average (kk) Computers check can access the airlock’s
closed circuit camera, giving a view of more tunnel
beyond. A successful Hard (kkk) Mechanics or
Skulduggery check can cycle the airlock and allow the
PCs to pass through.
Once through the airlock, a hand scanner can verify
the presence of breathable atmosphere. The PCs
spacesuits will automatically recharge their tanks.
The characters are now in a natural tunnel, unworked
and jagged with rocky projections. Ahead, there is the
glow of artificial light. A large glyph is painted on the
wall here, and success on an Average (kk) Knowledge
check translates the word as Disablot. a can reveal the
following:
● Disablot is the name of an ancient ritual, meaning
blood sacrifice.
● There are rumors that some who seek refuge among
the asteroids orbiting the gas giant Aegir disappear
without a trace.
Just What Has Been Found?
A successful Easy (k) Perception check will note the
sounds of voices echoing down the tunnel from up
ahead. a can be used to make out one of the voices –
that of Yotsen Fleinn – pleading for his life.
As the PCs make their way along the natural tunnel,
the passage grows wider. A slab of smooth stone
overhead, tilted at an angle and running for ten meters,
is painted with a mural of pictures and glyphs. A
successful Easy (k) Knowledge check deciphers the
story of a woman, Disa, saving the lives of hundreds of
innocents by choosing just a few people to be sacrificed
instead.
The tunnel opens into a large, cathedral-like space lit
by the glow of flood lights angled up toward the craggy
ceiling above. The far walls of the space are folded and
uneven, creating deep pools of shadow. In the center of
the space (long range to the PCs) a dozen people,
wrapped in tight garments made of fur, stand in a loose
circle around an altar of black stone. A man has been laid
upon the altar, bound by hand and foot. It is Yotsen
Fleinn.
Read or paraphrase the following:
At Gertra’s words two of the other figures move toward
the altar, both drawing forth long blades that shine in the
reflected flood lights. Gertra strides toward the back of
the chamber while the volume of the chanting increases.
If uninterrupted, the cultists end Fleinn’s life.
The PCs may want to begin an encounter with the
Followers of Disa, or they might try to pursue Gertra
without interfering with the ritual. Success on a Hard
(kkk) Stealth check will allow the PCs to circle the edge
of the chamber without alerting the cultists. As they do,
Gertra has exited the room via a passage concealed in the
shadows of the far wall.
If the cultists become aware of the PCs they will attack
them as Gertra leaves through the concealed passage,
forming three minion groups of four each.
Once the PCs do follow Gertra, they find a narrow
natural tunnel through the stone that at times becomes
difficult to pass through. A successful Average (kk)
Coordination check is required to pass without injury. A
failed check deals one wound per uncanceled f and one
strain per uncanceled h, ignoring soak. While this
happens the sound of a cycling airlock echoes down the
passage from up ahead.
When the PCs reach the airlock it should be obvious
from the readouts that there is no breathable air on the
other side. Arrayed along the wall near the airlock are a
dozen space suits.
No check is needed to cycle through the airlock, and
when the PCs do, they find a large cavern that has been
converted to a landing bay for several saucer shuttles.
Across the space is a rift in the stone that provides a
breathtaking view of the gas giant Aegir against a sea of
stars.
Long range to the PCs, between the airlock and the five
saucers, are twelve people in spacesuits involved in a
confrontation. Once again, the PCs recognize the colors
and insignia of Morgessa’s crew, as she and six of her
henchmen block Gertra and five of her followers from
approaching the shuttles. Everyone involved has
weapons dawn, save Gertra who has a bulky duffle bag
over her shoulder.
BOOST #6: SPACE FANTASY
GENESYS

 Anyone with a hand radio can find the frequency that
the two groups are using to communicate. If they do,
read or paraphrase the following:
‘Listen you old loony, that jewel belongs to the
Despot of Vardun, and I intend to bring it to him,’
says Morgessa in an exasperated voice.
‘Nonsense, this is a gift from our mistress, Disa. I
will be married to the Regent of Daradeen and use
that mighty fleet to bring Disa’s truth to the galaxy.
Out of our way!’
‘You’re going nowhere, fruitcake. Hand over the
Sapphire Lily and I will let you live.’
Gertra laughs, declaring, ‘I will do you no such
favor, witch! Kill her!’
The two groups attack one another. If the PCs have
not heard the above conversation, they simply watch a
fight break out between the two groups. If they do not
interfere, two members of each group fall to the first
volley of weapons fire. Soon, however, Morgessa’s gang
takes the upper hand. As Gertra’s last follower drops, she
holds up a hand and then tosses her duffle toward
Morgessa. The gang leader strides forward toward the
duffle bag and Gertra backs away.
Morgessa snatches up the duffle and rips it open,
pulling forth an empty transparent box. Before she has
time to react Gertra scrambles up the ramp into one of
the saucer shuttles and manages to take off. Morgessa’s
gang is not able to stop her.
If the PCs choose to involve themselves in the
confrontation, a confusing, three-way encounter ensues.
Gertra will attempt to escape with the Sapphire Lily
stuffed inside her space suit. The cult leader will toss the
duffle toward Morgessa as a distraction, and during a
heavy firefight the gang leader will not spare the time to
check the duffle bag as she grabs it.
Anju, if they are present, begs the PCs to be careful
not to damage the Sapphire Lily.
Any of the adversaries might fire into the ceiling
above the PCs during the encounter, causing a rock fall.
A successful Average (kk) Coordination or Athletics
check is required to avoid being knocked prone, with
each uncanceled f causing one wound ignoring soak.
hhh or a despair generated on any PC skill check
can result in a tear in that character’s space suit. A
successful Easy (k) Mechanics check is required to
repair the damage. Otherwise, all breathable atmosphere
escapes the suit in three rounds.
BOOST #6: SPACE FANTASY
17 GENESYS
Should the PCs manage to incapacitate Gertra, one of
her followers performs the distraction with the duffle
bag and drags the cult leader onto the shuttle. If the PCs
prevent this outcome another of the cultists manages to
escape, having had the Sapphire Lily all along. If
necessary, they have been faking their death since early
in the encounter.
Morgessa, for her part, will use her Live to Fight
Again ability to escape, should she be reduced to half her
wound threshold.
Follow That Shuttle!
The PCs can easily board any of the remaining saucer-
class shuttles. A Dangerous Driving check is needed to
safely exit the ersatz landing bay.
Success on an Easy (k) Computers check will track
the other shuttle crafts that have just left the cavern.
Alternately, a successful Average (kk) Perception check
will spot the other shuttle through the viewport. If
needed, Anju or a crackling communication from Agent
Sharan Joels can point the PCs toward Gertra’s goal.
Gertra, or her follower, is headed toward a Daradeen
ship that floats alone in an orbit two kilometers from
Gymir station.
Anju, if they are present, identifies the ship as the
Khojakarta. This is the ship that they and Representative
Gnanik arrived on, which is tasked with delivering the
Sapphire Lily to an appropriate spouse for the new
regent-to-be. If the PCs do not yet know, Anju informs
them that the future regent will marry whoever presents
them the Sapphire Lily.
The saucer-class shuttle that carries Gertra or her
follower docks with the Khojakarta. No check is needed
for the PCs to also dock with the Chaandanee-class
sloop.
SECTION 3: The Khojakarta
A prototype Daradeen vessel, the Khojakarta is as
gorgeous to behold as it is deadly. Sleek, bristling with
weapon’s ports, and obviously newly built, this
Chaandanee-class sloop hangs in orbit around Aegir,
glinting against the blackness of space.
A Gift or a Curse
As the PCs exit the shuttle, they see Gertra (or her
follower) floating in the center of the docking bay facing
a half circle of Daradeen crew-people. The PCs also recognize
Agent Sharan Joels who is for some reason among the
Daradeen. If Anju did not accompany the PCs earlier,
they are also present.
As a reminder, ships not under way are a micro-
gravity environment, which adds jj to all Brawn and
Agility checks.
Read or paraphrase the following:
The Cultist of Disa floats in the center of the
docking bay before a half circle of Daradeen, the
Sapphire Lily held above her head.
‘Bring the new regent to me, immediately! I am
their rightful betrothed, as I possess the Sapphire…’
A beam of energy pierces the woman’s chest,
silencing the cultist as the Sapphire Lily twirls from
her hand. Agent Sharan Joels lowers her weapon, a
cold smile painted across her lips.
‘Thank you, Sharan,’ says Morgessa, who is
framed by one of the airlocks that ring the docking
bay, her burner drawn.
“Keep your soldiers back, Regent Anju,’ Agent Joels
says with a sneer. ‘No Daradeen can interfere with
this conflict.’
Anju looks at you with sadness in her eyes,
confirming, ‘It is true, by custom I cannot stop this
fight for the Sapphire Lily, and for my hand in
marriage.’
Morgessa launches herself toward the Sapphire Lily,
starting the final structured encounter of the adventure.
If she manages to capture the jewel, she and Sharan Joels
will attempt to flee by returning to her saucer-class
shuttle. The two women will fight to the death to achieve
this goal, and if Morgessa is incapacitated Sharan will try
to flee alone with the Sapphire Lily.
Morgessa cannot use her Live to Fight Again ability
in this encounter, though she may resort to injecting
herself with metamorphic serum if reduced to half her
Wound or Strain threshold.
What Future May Come
If Morgessa or Sharan Joels succeed in escaping with the
Sapphire Lily their last words are as follows:
‘Soon the Despot of Vardun will find you, Regent Anju,
and claim his place by your side as your rightful
husband!’
If the PCs recover the Sapphire Lily, they are paid a
reward of 15k sols by Regent-to-be Anju, no mater what
they negotiated earlier.
If one of the characters presents the intricately carved
jewel to Anju, either on purpose or by accident, they are
now betrothed in the eyes of the Daradeen and destined
to rule by Anju’s side. Anju’s presence almost instantly
becomes intoxicating to the PC that presents the
Sapphire Lily, as the Daradeen’s fluid identity comports
to their future spouse. The Regent-to-be has their own
free will, and while the strict, almost mystical nature of
Daradeen tradition requires a marriage, Anju does not
have to be happy about it. A betrothed PC is likely to find
that they are subject to rituals and social pressure that
they do not enjoy.
Finally, should the GM desire a cliffhanger for the end
of the adventure, sirens blare throughout the Khojakarta,
calling the crew to battle stations. Morgessa’s Ca Den
Raider has attacked the Daradeen Sloop, seeking to
avenge her death!

 the DESPOT OF VORDUN
The largest thorn in the side of the Solar Republic is also
the most dangerous. Once Commodore Harlas Ashrod,
now known as the Despot of Vordun, this former hero of
the Solar Republic renounced their position in the
Solarian Fleet to carve out a crude empire of captured
settlements and outposts at the far edge of colonized
space. Sitting atop their throne of melted Solarian crests,
the Despot of Vordun plots and schemes, planning to
one day destroy the Solar Republic and rule all of
humankind.
regency OF dARADEEN
The Daradeen are an insular culture spanning three
systems, with only loose trading ties to the Solar
Republic. It is suspected that some long-ago conflict led
to their self-isolation. Indeed, they possess powerful
warships that patrol the boundaries of their territory and
turn aside ships that seek entrance to their region of
space, and trade is limited to a single port at the edge of
Daradeen space.
The Solarian Council would love nothing more than
to bring the Daradeen star systems (and their advanced
navy) into the Republic. For now, the Council is happy
enough to maintain good trade relations.
ALIENS?
Humans in The Solar Republic! setting have not yet
encountered sentient aliens, and in fact what life has
been found has been of the single-celled variety. In the
centuries of human settlement, however, cultures have
diverged dramatically. Further, experimentation and
engineered adaptation has led to wild variations in hair
and skin color, and sometimes even more extreme
changes in physiology.

character options
I n keeping with the genre exemplified by early-to-mid
20th century science fiction, the character options in
this section are flavored with a touch of dashing bravado
and anachronistic flare. In no way are these descriptions
meant to limit players’ characterizations, and have been
written to exclude the darker bias of that bygone era.
The Solar Republic! setting is in all ways meant to be
inclusive, drawing on the wonder and inspirational spirit
of the possibilities of humanity.
After all, the future belongs to us all!

Archetypes
The Solar Republic! campaign setting uses the following
archetypes from the G ENESYS C ORE R ULEBOOK:
The Average Human, Laborer, Intellectual, or Aristocrat
These archetypes represent the basic variations in
humanity found across the worlds and star systems
settled by the human diaspora.
The Mongrel
This archetype represents a character who has been
subject to experimentation by some exiled scientist or
perhaps exposed to an alien microbe.
Animalistic Alien
This archetype represents engineered changes made by
various settlements of humans to better adapt to the
planets on which they live. No sentient aliens have (yet)
been found by humans in The Solar Republic! setting,
but there are dramatic biological variations in the human
diaspora across settled space.
Robot
This archetype represents the sentient robots that have
been built to replace or supplement human labor. Fully
sentient robots are rare, but not unheard of. The
Republic has yet to pass a set of universal laws to govern
robots, so each port or settled planet must decide for
themselves how robots are treated.
Robots in The Solar Republic! setting most often
resemble the shiny humanoid-shaped constructions
found in the fiction of the early- to mid-20th century.
Rather than the Networked Intelligence special
ability, increase a Robot’s starting experience to 185.
careers
The Solar Republic! setting has several careers for
players to choose from for their characters, styled to
capture the spirit of the genre.
