STANDALONE: The relatively new

crew is hijacked from cryo on the way
to their first job. Each has nothing but
a first impression of the others.

CAMPAIGN: THE SWORDS find the

crew on their way to the next job or on
their way home. They don’t know who,
what or why, and they don’t want to
know. They simply need BLOOD for
the FIELDS.

LOCALE: BLACKSTAR STATION is an

off-register hub for illegal trade,
gambling and more. Spread rumors of
its opportunities. Let the crew find its
coordinates, hidden away. They can
visit it for a bit of shore leave… but
they may not like what they find.

starting sector, crew movement,

 AT Y
A dark game is played at BLACKSTAR STATION’s center, an unwitting kill-or-be-
killed competition known as THE BLOODFIELDS. Ships disappear from
hyperspace as their crews sleep in cryo, competitors awake in starting
chambers at the arena’s edge. They have little equipment, three rules and
mere minutes before the game begins.
• You have 7 hours to conquer the Bloodfields (or die trying).
• 3 sectors are redlined every hour. If you’re there, get out.
• The last surviving team wins.

BLACKSTAR STATION’s criminal tourism empire is overseen by WREN

SINCLAIR, a fallen corpo entertainment mogul turned bloodsport gambling
connoisseur. Spectator boxes, gambling pits and black markets ring the
station’s expansive self-contained battle royale arena.

HOW DID YOU GET HERE?

The darkspace pirates THE SWORDS OF SINCLAIR trawl the vast megavoids
between systems, scanning for hyperdrives and slow boats alike. With
MILITARY-GRADE INTERDICTORS they pull ships from hyperspace, shutter
their drives and steal their crews from cryo. Ships end up in BLACKSTAR’s
black market auctions. Crews awaken as contestants in THE BLOODFIELDS.

WHAT HAVE YOU HEARD?

BLACKSTAR STATION is a spaceport rumor, less a real place and more a catch-
all legend for any illicit or criminal activity.

THE BLOODFIELDS are rumored to exist, but mostly as a story used to keep
new recruits attentive at their posts.

WREN SINCLAIR is known to any vid-hungry kid of 20 years ago. A former

entertainment mogul with credits in nearly every successful core world show,
Sinlair’s recent actions are unknown. Perhaps living out an early retirement?

WHERE DO YOU WAKE UP?

On a cot, in a ready room along the arena’s outer ring. Each crewmember has
a small equipment pack. Their last memory is laying down in the cryobay or,
rarely, the smell of knock-out gas while working on the ship. The rest is gone.

Wren Sinclair appears on an old monitor above the sealed metal door, grinning
ear to ear. Sinclair welcomes the crew (and audience!) to the Bloodfields and
explains the rules. The doors will open in 5 minutes. Let the games begin!

3
STARTING SECTOR: Roll 1d10 and mark the crew’s
starting position on the Bloodfields Sheet. They
are the only team starting in that sector.

STARTING GEAR: In addition to underclothes

and crew jumpsuit, each player rolls a
weapon, armor and equipment (pg. 1).

STARTING EVENTS: Read the sector’s

description (pgs. 13-18) and roll 1d10 for a
starting event (below). Other teams are never
encountered in the first sector during Round 1.

A torn parachute and a broken cage. Something was dropped

1-2
here, and it isn’t friendly. Roll on the CREATURE table (pg. 10).
A simple camp (tent, log stool, warm coals). Not a contestant,
3-4
the CAMPER (W:2, C: 30, I: 25) is not friendly but avoids conflict.
A heavy steel hatch obscured by dirt and rocks. Strength [-] will
5-6
break the lock, granting access to SUBSTATION (pg. 21-22).
Contestant remains from the last game. Heavily rotted, but
7-8
salvageable. Roll WEAPON, ARMOR or EQUIPMENT (pg. 1).
Colored smoke marks a nearby airdrop. Luck (or a patron) is on
9-10
your side for now. Roll twice on AIRDROP TABLE (back cover).
4
 TRAVERSING THE ARENA
Crews can usually travel 1 sector per round (tracked via Scorecard). When
entering a new sector, read its Sector entry (pgs. 13-18) and roll a SECTOR
EVENT (4d10) for the corresponding area of the arena. If a crew does not
move sectors during a round, roll an Event at the beginning of each round.

Many events involve enemy contestants. To determine who they are and how
they act, roll on Contestants list (pgs. 23-26). Track teams on the Scorecard,
ensuring no more than 9 enemy teams appear
during each running of the game. If a team
survives, they may return in a future Event.

When the crew uses a vantage point, roll an

Event to determine what they see. They
may gain the opportunity to surprise an
enemy team or avoid being surprised
themselves, depending on the circumstances.

 At the end of each round, Wren Sinclair appears on holographic screens across the habitat dome’s
‘ceiling.’ They announce sector redlining (pg. 9) and other events with a playful, game show host
energy. Roll on the corresponding ROUND END table.
“It always helps to have a friend on the
outside, but I’m sorry to say, [YOUR
CREW NAME] it appears you only have
1 enemies out here. Watch out!” One
wave of a HAZARD (pg. 10) tears across
the sector before clearing up.
“I have just been informed we have
some interlopers in the arena. Consider
this a public safety announcement, any
attempts to enter or exit the arena are
2 strictly forbidden. I will incinerate your
ass if you set foot in the substation!”
Large jets of fire shoot up within the
arena. The crowd cheers.
“[YOUR CREW NAME], I’d watch out for
the local wildlife if I were you. It can be a
bit nasty!” Cages rise from the ground
3 nearby, burst open then retract. Two of
the creatures are nearby. Roll 1d10
twice on the CREATURE table and take
the lower result.
“We’ve got record crowds today and it’s
clear they only want one thing: BLOOD
RAIN!” Thick red rain begins to pour
4 down across the entire arena (Sanity
Save or 1 Stress). The scent of iron
hangs heavy in the air.
“[YOUR CREW NAME], they are all
betting against you, but I think you can
prove them wrong. Bring down a team
5 next round and I’ll send something your
way!” If crew kills a team in the next
round, two airdrops land nearby. Roll on
AIRDROP TABLE (back cover).
7
“Well, well, well, looks like we’ve got a
sponsorship coming in already! [YOUR
CREW NAME] has gotten the attention of
DEXTRO-SINGLETON SPACIAL
6 SOLUTIONS! If you take the win, they’re
throwing an extra 100kcr your way (after
you sign over with your likeness rights, of
course)!”
Hooting and hollering grows closer. A
man, fully nude, streaks across the
landscape, stopping here and there to
moon the sky (and presumably the
cameras). Sinclair’s voice booms out over
7 the loudspeakers, “Now, now—that just
won’t do! Chosen contestants only!” A
railgun shot turns the man to mist,
leaving only a small crater where he
stood.
“Watch your ste—” An explosion rings out
from a neighboring sector. “Well, I was
going to say ‘watch your step there are
8 land mines in that area’ but you found
them yourself!” The next team
encountered is wounded (50% health).
“Eeny, meeny, miny, moe, time for one
team to sadly go!” An animated carnival
wheel spins and stops on another team’s
9 name. A huge explosion rings out across
the arena, a distant scream flies on the
wind. “Bye bye now!” Cross one team off
the Scorecard.
“Someone’s taken a liking to [YOUR
CREW NAME]! Delivery incoming!” Two
quick-fall airdrops, emblazoned with one
10 faction’s logo, slam into the ground
nearby. Roll twice on AIRDROP TABLE
(back cover).

“It’s time for the LIGHTNING ROUND!
Hahahaha!” Massive artificial lightning
1. bolts streak down from the dome. If
6 round’s Sector Event now. The event plays
outdoors, SPEED [+] or take 1d10 dmg.

be allowed to compete in the ‘Fields. Say
they have an unfair advantage. While I
don’t agree, I do need to keep these

7 perspective for the rest of the game for an
so… sorry androids!” An EMP sweeps
across the arena, knocking electronics
and androids offline for 1d10 minutes.
“No Earthly Way’s ‘Wacky Wildcards’ - an
experimental drug bombing! Coming up…
NOW!” A rain of gas canisters fills your
area with whirling blue-green gas. Body
3 Save. On failure, take 1d5 dmg as coughs
8 the Bloodfields!” Soothing, ambient music
wrack your body. On success, take [+] on
Strength, Speed, Combat next round.
You feel colors.
“Oops, did I lean on that button?” A
single wave of a new hazard rolls across
4 the entire arena. “My mistake! Won’t
9 firing Stimpak darts into every contestant
happen again (probably)!”
“Warning: Any resident or contestant
found tampering with the Bloodfields
will be sent out an airlock immediately.
Stop ruining the game and just have fun!
5 There is a 25kcr reward to anyone with
10
credible evidence. Please contact your
nearest Sword of Sinclair
representative!”
“It’s the Chronik™ Probable Play of the
Game! Thanks to the predictive algorithms
at Chronik Temporal Industries, we get a
look at one very possible future!” Roll next
out on the dome’s holographic displays.
They cannot avoid this situation, but they
can prepare for it.
“[YOUR CREW NAME] has been chosen as
our Boots on the Ground™ crew of the
game! Designate a crewmate to film their
additional 100kcr upon victory!” A video
camera is airdropped nearby. Filming uses
one hand and gives [-] on Combat checks.
“It’s time for the Mid-game Meditation™!
Quiet everyone, quiet! This is proven to
increase focus before the final battles of
plays throughout the quiet arena. Sanity
save. On success, relieve 1d5 Stress.
“Stimpak Surprise! Let’s end today’s
Bloodfields on a HIGH note! Get it, like high
on drugs?” Stealth drones puff loudly,
in the arena. Recover 1d10 health and take
[+] on Strength, Combat for 2d10 minutes.
“Not everything in life is fair. Some things
are just fun! Things like the SmartDeth
Intelligent SharpRifle. [YOUR CREW
NAME], how about a demonstration?”
Nearby rock/wall flips open to reveal a
long expensive-looking rifle. Scope sees
targets through objects. 4d10 DMG,
always hits, single use.

 After each Round End Event, Sinclair announces which 3 sectors will be
redlined (easily tracked via Scorecard). Contestants have 10 minutes to vacate
before hazards take effect. Speed Check or get caught in the hazard.

New hazards cumulatively apply to all previously redlined sectors.

ROUND 1-4: Roll 1d10 three times (reroll repeats)

and redline sectors with a Hazard (pg. 10).

Note: Sectors A5 and E5 are always

redlined during Round 4, the final outer
ring round.

ROUND 5-6: Roll 1d10 three times (reroll

repeats) and redline those sectors with a
Hazard (pg. 10). For these Hazards, roll twice
and take the higher result—the game is
harsher in later rounds.

Note: The centermost sector (C5) is

always clear going into Round 7.

ROUND 7: The final round is not time limited. The game only ends when a
single team remains. After 1 hour, the game enters Overtime: A new Hazard is
announced and implemented 10 minutes later. This occurs every hour
thereafter until only one team remains alive inside the arena.

 When only 1 team remains alive inside the arena, the game ends (even if this
occurs prior to Round 7). Hazards are immediately cleared and massive
celebratory fireworks, music and holographic displays cover the entirety of
the arena’s habitat dome.

The winning team receives a direct 1mcr prize and, over the next several
hours, are returned to their ship (or another contestant’s ship of equal or
lesser value) with all their prior belongings and spoils from the arena.

Each team member is also given a commemorative “I visited the Bloodfields

at Blackstar Station… AND I WON!” patch and lifetime access to Blackstar
Station.

In the days immediately following a Bloodfields win, Blackstar’s many

unsavory elements will eagerly contact the crew with job proposals.
Accepting the 1mcr prize has tied them to Sinclair’s criminal empire (who now
know the crew can get things done). It is in their best interest to stay, at least
partially, within the protective shell of that criminal ecosystem. Roll on the
Job Proposal Table for future adventure hooks.

After the Bloodfields, crews may want to explore the station itself (see pgs.
27-34), take some time to hear offers or flee immediately. Regardless, the
criminal organizations here know how to contact the group in the future.

Bloodfields Champions carry a

The Swords discovered a

No life, but reports of strange

needs every Sword to stay
stationside for now, is looking

No Earthly Way sends the crew

them a bad batch. He needs to
go. The crew can find him in the
station’s deepest drug den.

No Earthly Way has been
blackballed from Blackstar’s

the volatility of drug running.
Sterling Shimmer wants back in.
The Rising Shine needs someone

Corollary Armoire’s past with
8
more cybernetics than anyone
on Blackstar. He doesn’t want to
be found. They need him gone.
Some Swords stationed in an old
asteroid mining installation
found an old, old tablet. No one
is reporting back and no one
who’s heard the transmissions is
willing to go check on them.
Sinclair is running a special
Double-or-Nothing Bloodfield
event for their birthday. They
want the crew back. Promises to
pay upfront (and drop you some
good gear).
12
 A3 - BACKSTAGE
[industrial, ruined, cluttered]
Shipment and staging area, once used to
coordinate and distribute items across the
resort. Drone hangars and wide truck garages
knocked open by age and prior combat.
Remaining vehicles stripped of parts and
broken down long ago.
Supply Cache: In the largest garage’s back
office, across an open concrete square.
A5 - SOLO PEAK HILLS
[vertical, residential, dense]
Paved roadways wind up and down an array of
curving hills. Vacation homes—small
bungalows and tightly stacked condos with
green pools of stagnant water—line the
peakside of each street. Easy to get to high
ground here (or find a place to hide).
Weapons Cache: Colored smoke, visible from
far off, marks a heavy case on a house’s front
lawn. Roll 1d10 on the WEAPONS table.
13
A7 - SHIMMERING FIELDS
[electronic, strange, beautiful]
Part low-yield solar farm, part broken art
installation. Fields of shifting, broken black
glass bounce reflections across the entire
sector. Easy to hide and easy to get lost (roll
INTELLECT to leave the hex, each failure costs
30 minutes).
Take a Piece: SHIMMERSHARD - cracked
voltaic cell, throw for electric explosion (2d10
dmg) or use to revive Androids (recover 1
health after death).
B2 - STAFF LODGE
[worn, residential, dense]
Old employee dormitory. A skeletal, mass-
constructed maze of communal kitchens and
showers, dilapidated group rooms and the
occasional office. Filled with the old odds and
ends of people long gone.
Search Rooms: Roll twice on the EQUIPMENT
table and take lower result.
B4 - GIMBLE OBSERVATORY
[scientific, derelict, elevated]
Scientific observatory turned tourist
destination. Built high on a hill, surrounded by
quiet grass and trees. Its old equipment gives
a clear view of all surrounding hexes on
successful INTELLECT check (breaks
dangerously on failure).
Search: CRACKED LENS (doubles a weapon’s
effective range).
B6 - BLACKFORD FIELDS
[rural, agricultural, quiet]
Farm fields and livestock plains, now
pockmarked with signs of combat.
Farmhouses and decommissioned bed-and-
breakfasts pepper the landscape.
Horses in a Quiet Field: Several horses, once
ridden by tourists, still survive here. Skittish
but rideable. SPEED check to successfully
mount one. Gives advantage on SPEED and
COMBAT (melee only), and allows 1 additional
hex of travel per round.
B8 - THE SON OF SOL
[desolate, arid, windy]
Massive traditional art in an ancient Earthling
style. A dirt-and-stone outline of a man in a
powerful, exploratory stance covers the entire
sector. Artificial heat creates an arid, windy,
desert-like space.
Exposure: The heat is unbearable. Spending a
second round here inflicts a BODY save. On
failure, take disadvantage on all rolls until
water and shelter are found.
C1 - THE OVERLOOK
[scenic, elevated, open]
Winding roadways and scenic overlooks in the
middle of wooded, mountainside terrain.
Perfect for long, holiday drives.
Tower Viewer: 4 viewers ring the sector’s
highest overlook, allowing clear visibility of
sectors B2, C3 and D2.
14
 C3 - TIMBERWALK PASS
[mountainous, wild, dangerous]
Artificial mountains built over larger habitat
subsystems. Originally branded as a “wildlife
refuge,” the area is a mix of real and false
wilderness disguising more industrial systems.
The Hatch: A heavy locked hatch sits at the
base of an old redwood, found by searching (or
by luck). Roll STRENGTH [-] to break the lock.
Leads to the Substation (pgs. 21-22).
C5 - THE RITZ
[opulent, residential, verdant]
Marble and gold architecture ringed by rich
flower gardens. Massive spotlights line the
sector, calling your attention even from
adjacent hexes. A series of walled pathways
and streets wind idly through the beautiful
greenery, all leading to a large shining
reception hall. Without elevation, sightlines
are short and paths wind idly.
Observation Deck: The reception hall’s top
floor. Its tinted windows grant a concealed
view of the entire sector. A wrapped package
reads “Good Luck! - W. Sinclair” in fine lettering
(roll on the AIRDROP TABLE, back cover).
15
Hutchins Titania Mk.7 Hovercar: Sitting in a
streetside parking area in beautiful condition,
key in the ignition. Grants [+] on Speed Checks
(for driver and passengers). Can ram enemies
for 2d10 dmg (Intellect check).
Roof-Mounted Heavy Machine Gun: A massive
twin-barrel chain gun (Firearms skill or [-],
3d10 dmg) atop a modern ranch, pockmarked
with bullet holes. No roof access—you must
climb the exterior to reach it. A note on the
handles reads “Give us a good finish! - W.
Sinclair.”
C7 - THE PYRE
[radioactive, smokey, forested]
An old ruptured reactor spewing ash in a
charred, dying forest. Visibility is low due to
the radioactive ash and thick smoke which fill
the sector.
Creatures: Decades of radiation in this shifting
artificial environment has twisted the wildlife
into something new. Strange, moaning calls
are audible from the sector’s edge. Stay too
long or too loudly and a burnt, disfigured
Designer Dinosaur (pg. 10) will rush out of the
smoke toward the group.
C9 - OLDPORT
[hot, barren, expansive]
Complex crosshatch of cracked concrete
landing strips and drone pads. Several wrecked
drones and old passenger ships are scattered
across the sector in large open areas with little
else for shelter.
Wreckage: Roll INTELLECT to salvage an AGING
FUEL ROD from an old ship’s sublight drive
(carrier suffers Radiation Lv. 1), throw for a
small nuclear blast: 10d10 dmg, 20 ft radius.
D2 - ROADSIDE
[arid, nostalgic, open]
Four derelict roadside diners dot the sector,
sitting quietly in the desert wind. Rocky
outcroppings give sparse cover amid large
open patches. Diners are in Earth’s 20th
century style, largely looted over the games.
Jukebox: Polished and new, despite the
surroundings. Any song code pulls a record
onto the turntable. When the needle drops,
painful static fills the immediate area, shutting
down electronics and androids. Jukebox must
be destroyed to stop the noise.
D4 - THE SPIRAL SEA
[humid, vorticose, lush]
A wide, deep lake of churning greenish-blue
water, ringed by deciduous greenery. Used for
watersports long ago, now a deathtrap for
weary teams. Items spin and shimmer in the
pool’s center.
Swim: BODY save to swim across the lake or
be sucked beneath the surface.
Search: BODY save to safely search the center
(roll twice on AIRDROP TABLE, back cover).
D6 - PHANTOM STRIP
[neon, urban, dark]
A crowded strip of clubs, bars and other
nightlife destinations, shrouded in an endless
artificial night. The strip that never sleeps (or
wakes). Neon lights flicker and flash across its
cracked asphalt streets.
Squatters: 3 residents (C: 25, I: 45, H: 2(15))
broke into the arena via the substation and are
living here. If approached calmly, they happily
aid the team by giving intel on nearby teams
and their equipment. If threatened, they flee
(fighting only as a last resort).
16
 D8 - BLUE TRISLANDS
[bright, tropical, oceanic]
A thin beach of white sand lines the sector’s
inward edge. The rest is pristine blue “ocean”
interrupted only by three small tropical
islands. Each has a single large home with a
private dock. Water-worn and beginning to rot,
the homes are otherwise intact.
Panic Room: Subterranean total-containment
room, originally created to withstand station-
wide emergencies. Powered and operational.
Small weapons cache inside (roll 3 Weapons).
E3 - GRAND BAZAAR
[enclosed, commercial, dense]
A massive indoor mall. Three levels of
shattered storefronts, broken escalators and
refuse. Former hub of tourist business, now
riddled with bullets and age.
Something for Everyone: Searching the
plethora of stores for 30+ minutes grants 1 roll
on the Weapons, Armor or Equipment table,
and 2 rolls on the general Equipment list
(Player’s Survival Guide).

E5 - OLYMPUS VILLAS
[nostalgic, rural, residential]
Gentle breezes over rich green rolling hills,
speckled with for-show farmland. Grecian old-
earth villas speckle the landscape. Craters and
burnt out bits of vegetation give visual
reminders of its current use.
Grapes?: Fields of vines bearing deep purple,
almost black fruit run far in either direction.
Eating your first grape(?), triggers a Body save.
On success, recover 1d10 HP and relieve 1
stress. On failure, a full-body sickly feeling
inflicts disadvantage on all skill rolls for the
next 2 hours.
Armor Cache: Colored smoke, visible from far
off, marks a heavy case sitting on a short hill
near one of the farms. Roll twice on the
ARMOR table.
E7 - THE SHORE
[open, carnivalesque, coastal]

Long boardwalks reach out over sandy beaches and a wide saltwater bay. The “ocean” here is the
same as D8 (BLUE TRISLANDS). Old shops, vacation homes, a casino, a wide midway and more run
all along the waterfront. The casino’s roof has been blown off and its rubble covers the
boardwalk’s central portion.

The Ferris Wheel: Chairs swing in the wind and lights shimmer in a kaleidoscope of colors. It is old
and partially rusted out, but functional. Intellect check to operate. The top offers a bird’s eye
view of the sector. Advantage on all Combat checks taken from this position.

 A web of engineering tunnels and subsystems beneath the sprawling arena.
Locked off and hidden away, but still accessible from certain locations in the
arena and station. Crews can travel 2 hexes per round in the Substation. If
exposed, Sinclair uses built-in incinerators to smoke out the crew and SOS
squads to deal with any would-be escapees.

 Once upon a time, Blackstar Station was a massive, sprawling tourist
destination. A station designed to appeal to any vacation-goer in the
cosmos. Its massive habitat dome (now the Bloodfields arena) was the
primary resort, featuring a wide array of locales and lifestyles.

Sinclair purchased the station in an off-book transaction of god-only-

knows how many credits before having it deconstructed, transported into
deep freespace, reconstructed and recommissioned. Now, Blackstar is a
heavenly destination of his own audaciously twisted design. A once-in-a-
lifetime dream spot for every shitkicking scumbag this side of the Rim.

27
28
 Blackstar Station’s grand entrance. All four docking bays (25 landing pads
each) lead here. A domed roof of synth-marble, lined by columns of gold.
Large vines climb up and over the walls, carefully grown from large planters
around the room. Travelers from all across space loiter here, talking with,
avoiding, or even fighting one another. A handful of Swords of Sinclair keep
the peace as best they can (by cracking skulls).

WHO IS HERE?
• Tourists and Traders
• Loads of them, coming and going
• Swords of Sinclair
• Regularly patrolling public areas
• Alloy, No Earthly Way Dealer
• Dark shades, neon fur coat, openly selling beginner drugs to
euphoria-seeking tourists
• Sibyl Solari, Rising Shine Teamster
• Jumpsuit, large rising sun backpatch, unloading goods from
recent arrivals
• Porter Ocano, Urchin
• Looking for friends, willing to show you around the station for a
few credits

WHAT IS THERE TO DO?

• Relax
• You had a long trip out here—no need to rush
• Check the Station Map
• People-Watch
• You can learn plenty about a place just by watching its crowds

29
Hundreds of thousands of stadium seats line the outer station’s interior edge,
facing through open space and into the Bloodfield’s habitat dome. Thousands
of built-in displays cover the glass with dozens of camera angles, instant
replays and past games’ highlights, pouring them into the waiting eyes of
each and every spectator. Audio sources spill out over one another, giving the
grandstands a chaotic din.

WHO IS HERE?
• Hundreds of Rabid Fans
• Swords of Sinclair
• One at every corner
• Taka Meko, Refreshment Sales Specialist
• Pushes a little robotic cart along the various levels, selling fresh-
cooked vat-kabobs, Shine Slurp (alcoholic) and Kelp-Bites
• Sari Sova, Off-Book Bookie
• Facilitates bets on anything and everything
• Hates Sinclair, has an in with the Rockdroppers
• Tobias Kinton, Loud Drunkard

WHAT IS THERE TO DO?

• Spectate the Bloodfields
• Anyone aboard Blackstar Station can watch, but the best seats are
camped out for days leading up to the games
• Place Bets
• Off-book gambling on any and everything is common here (as are
the fights that often follow)
• Make Friends (or Enemies)
• It’s all about who you know and how you know them, so now’s a
good time to make some friends

30
 An extravagant mansion turned drug factory on Blackstar’s main level—the
heavily-guarded, high-walled home of Sterling Shimmer and No Earthly Way.
Painted a wide array of psychedelic colors and patterns. Loud music and
colorful lights pour into the surrounding neighborhood, but people are rarely
coming and going. Access to the factory is strictly invite only, and sneaking in
is nearly impossible, given its surveillance.

Inside, the factory is a maze of rooms, hallways and manufacturing facilities

closer to art installations than living spaces. Several dozen members of NEW
live and work here full time. Shimmer lives in the grand suite on the mansion’s
fourth floor, but spends the days overseeing work around the entire factory.

WHO IS HERE?
• Sterling Shimmer, No Earthly Way’s Chief Dreamer of Dreams
• If you get the station’s attention, Shimmer wants to meet
• Followers of the Way
• Dozens of fans tripping on Shimmer’s quality products
• NEW Security Guards
• High visibility jumpsuits, body armor, revolvers
• Fiona Barick, Dream Designer
• Bubbly, always working on the next big drug
• Grew up in the Understation with Corollary Armoire
• Raz, Vat-Pup
• Friendly corgi, unnaturally-colored fur

WHAT IS THERE TO DO?

• Get High
• Most people visit the factory to sample the local flavors
• Investigate Fiona’s R&D
• There’s more than just recreational drug work going on here
• Access Shimmer’s Vault
• Wealth flows into NEW’s hands and it all ends up here

31
Blackstar’s sprawling black market, named after what you can buy there:
anything and everything (as long as you have the creds, of course). Its 10
levels surround a wide-open central thoroughfare packed with visiting buyers
and sellers. Hundreds of shops ranging from small carts to multi-level
storefronts. A few Swords patrol this area but most security comes from the
mercs and PMC androids hired by sellers to protect them and their products.
Open to the public, but the mix of money, high-value tech and big crowds
makes A/E™ a rough-and-tumble district.

WHO IS HERE?
• Buyers and Sellers
• Both legitimate and criminal
• Swords of Sinclair
• On regular patrols
• Yen Fei, Cybernetic Surgeon
• Offers cybernetic enhancements, replacements and on-site
surgical installation
• Xerxes Moneaux, Information Broker
• Buys and sells information on nearly anything of value
• Prefers trade but takes credits
• Corvin Tameron, “Human Resources”
• Offers variety of contractors for hire

WHAT IS THERE TO DO?

• Buy and Sell Anything and Everything
• Eat, Drink and Be Merry
• A hundred worlds’ flavors are on display at food carts and
restaurants
• Make a Deal
• If you have a lead but need a buyer, the market’s always open for
another deal
• Find a Job
• At least one of these enterprising individuals could use your skills

 Titanic superfreighter, flagship of the Rockdropper fleet. 125 person crew across 12 decks. Monopolizes its own
spread of understation airlocks whenever it’s not away on a job. Used by Rockdroppers as their own substation,
a safe haven away from Sinclair and the Swords. Heavily-graffitied corridors, roughly jury-rigged mechanisms
and loads of construction equipment retrofitted for combat and mayhem. Semi-public if on Rockdropper
business, but tread carefully—compared to the Rockdroppers, the Swords are downright civil.

WHO IS HERE?
• Bizzi “The Drip” Daniels, Leader of the Rockdroppers
• Surrounded by dozens of droppers at all times
• Wants to meet anyone capable of threatening Sinclair’s control of the station
• Rockdroppers
• Lots of Rockdroppers
• Orson Wynter, Propulsion Specialist
• Captive engine designer, fitting a special drive to The Drip’s improvised asteroid weaponry
• Kept under strict lock and key
• Random, Practitioner of the Weird
• Xenoesoterist extraordinaire, may not be human
• Strange, shifting, inside a fully-tinted pressurized spacesuit at all times

WHAT IS THERE TO DO?

• Buy Experimental Weapons
• Lots on offer from the Rockdroppers’ stolen cache
• Buy a Xenotech Lead
• Random knows dozens of worlds rich in xenotech, for the right price
• Join the Rockdroppers
• The fleet can always use another ship: 25kcr sign-on bonus

A station-wide network of infrastructure and support system arrays—the de facto headquarters of the
nebulous ‘Rising Shine.’ Small living areas pepper this maze of access tunnels and mechanical systems,
inhabited by those who keep the station in working order. Reasonably safe compared to most of Blackstar, the
Understation is still home to miles of dangerous machinery. Hostile parties who enter are quickly confronted by
members of the Shine, ready to defend themselves and their territory knowing Sinclair and his Swords will not
come to their defense unless the station itself depends on it.

WHO IS HERE?
• Corollary Armoire, Rising Shine’s Unofficial Leader
• The people need champions, so if you’ve done good on Blackstar, Corollary wants to meet
• Working Folks
• The upper levels aren’t affordable for any but the criminally wealthy, everyone else lives here
• Rayna Forgrave, Hyperdrive Expert
• Hunted by corporate spies, knows more about hyperspace than almost anyone
• Tony Moltova, Big Papa
• Massive, lives to protect every member of the Shine, shows up to fights in an exoloader

WHAT IS THERE TO DO?

• Search for Old Tech
• There are more tunnels here than most teamsters walk in their whole career
• Train With the Tradesfolk
• Skills abound and folks here are happy to spread their trade for a few creds
• Lay Low
• The Understation is largely untracked and rarely patrolled by the Swords
• Enter the Substation
• Discreetly enter and exit the Bloodfields arena (if you know the way)

Broadcast monitors line every wall. A dozen production members sit, operating video switchers and audio
mixers. They speak quietly via over-ear headsets. A large executive chair sits at the room’s center. From here,
vintage broadcaster microphone in hand, Sinclair provides commentary for every game, completely enraptured
by the chaos. Unless Sinclair specifically requested you, YOU ARE NOT ALLOWED HERE.

WHO IS HERE?
• Wren Sinclair, Station Owner and Swords of Sinclair boss
• Swords of Sinclair
• Two squads guard the area at all times
• Production Crew
• The biz’s best and brightest (whether by choice or by force)
• Ms. Lovelace, X-Tech Android Assassin
• Sinclair’s always-on bodyguard

WHAT IS THERE TO DO?

• Meet with Sinclair
• Win the Bloodfields or make enough noise around Blackstar, and Sinclair will want to meet
• Interrupt the Broadcast
• All video and audio comes into and out of this room
• Surveil the Arena
• Every camera feed in the arena (and many across the station) is accessible here
• Manipulate the Games
• Activate hazards, redline sectors and more from Sinclair’s control panel
