For use with The Black Hack

WHAT IS THIS?
The Stellar Hack (TSH) is a supplement for use with that most excellent traditional tabletop roleplaying game, The Black
Hack. It adds elements for spaceships, alien races, space adventures and high tech. You need prior knowledge of
RPG-type games in order to make any sense of this supplement.

WHAT KIND OF SCI FI THEN?

Life is a mess of ideas and so is this. There’s some transhumanism. There’s some grim future. There’s some space opera.
There’s some utopian ideals. There’s a lot of big people stepping on little people. Like this messy life, everybody gets by
while staying out from under the boots of powers that kick their pieces around the board.

So what does the board look like?

Known space is fractious and populous and too big to be held by one authority. Unknown space dots it, surrounds it and
twists through it. Unknown space is bursting with opportunity, freedom and risk. The many multisystem governments
and ultrastellar corporations are constantly trying to expand into unknown space rather than squabbling over what is
already in the hands of allies and rivals.

This means a lot of opportunity for adventure with high risk and higher rewards. Unknown space is rife with rag-tag
crews of desperate and mildly psychotic opportunists, seeking to turn new discoveries into cash. Who could help but be
one of them? Opportunists both aid and plague the worlds of known and unknown space.

Or perhaps you don’t need a master? Why not simply strike out among the stars to where the solar winds blow free?
Whether you’re taking an expedition for the sake of fascination, exploring amazing new worlds, plumbing the depths of
a nebula or meeting interesting new fauna, you should have everything you need here to meet, party with, fight, rob,
exploit, and/or eat all of it.

This supplement is intended to be used with The Black Hack, Additional Things and Guns & Ammo.

ROLLING STATS
One stat is added in this hack, Flavour (FLV). When you meet a new species, you probably won’t be able to coast by on
charisma alone and should stat-check your FLV. How your cultures get along on first contact and interact thereafter
depends in large part on whether they want to eat you or not. Some encounters might even require an immediate FLV
roll if a familiar species is really starving right now. The higher your FLV, the more tasty you are. You actually want to
fail your FLV rolls.

MOVEMENT AND DISTANCE IN SPACE

Spaceship distance is larger than personal distance. Assuming a spaceship has landed on a planet, Close is within visual
range, Nearby is in high atmosphere, Far-Away is within orbit and Distant is anything beyond orbit. Spaceships use
subluminal speeds to travel up to Far-Away distance, and superluminal (faster than light) speeds to travel between
Distant locations.

For a spaceship interacting at the personal scale, all distances are considered Close. Any ship-based weapons damage is
an instant kill, but stat checks to hit are made with disadvantage. Be careful not to blow a new crater in any small
moons.

CURRENCY AND EQUIPMENT

Currency is nominally measured in credits. A thousand credits is one Megagredit. You start with 5d6x10 Megagredits to
spend on equipment. Significant tech of the sort that blasts large holes in things costs Megagredits. The simple things
cost mere credits. A single Megagredit is enough to run a small starship and pay the cost of living for a crew of 10 for a
month. This includes things like fuel, food, water, booze, oxygen, Stellarflix subscription and air-conditioning.

GEAR
Name Cost in mG Thing it does

Omnoculars 20 Sees in ultraviolet, infrared, low light, harmful radiation, radio,

windspeed and direction. Your cousin knows how to hack them to see
through clothes.

Movement Tracker 20 These are goggles with motion detection sensors. They can
distinguish creature movement from environmental movement and
give a false image overlay. Different goggles are required for different
EM wavelengths.

Zip Line 2 This thing is mad fun. Uses a gauss driven launcher and spool release
that prevents tangles. The well-advertised risk of de-anchoring and
line breakage is just part of the thrill. Has an effective range of 200
metres. Can be used as a one-shot harpoon if you want. Of course you
want.

Grav Shoes/Belt/Harness 2 When activated, will slow your fall by 3 metres a second until you
come to a stop.

Grav Backpack 50 Allows flight at the normal movement rate. Has a d8 Usage Die. Roll
Usage every minute.

Broadcast Tracer 10 Specialises in locating sources of comms transmission, including

remote controls. Detects the the whole EM spectrum, so can be used
for ‘scanning’ in general, in a pinch.

Decoy Drone 10 Small, fast moving drone that jams sensors, scanners and
communicators. Can carry a pre-recorded message to transmit,
usually a salty insult.

Wibbler Drone 10 Throw it at someone and it will buzz around them in a most
distracting manner for a minute. Everyone gets Advantage on rolls to
hit them. Has a d6 Usage Die, rolled once per moment.

Vacc Suit 1 Stops you from dying in space. The oxygen supply has a d10 Usage
Die. Roll once per hour. Comes with compressed air thrusters for
emergencies, d8 Usage Die per moment of thrust. Made of
commercial grade fabrock, counts as 2 AP.

Communicators 1 A box of 10 communicators with a 100km range. They can be operated

using voice recognition, switched to location beacon mode, and
support encryption. The signal from the location beacon can reach
orbit. The battery has a d8 Usage Die, roll once per hour of use or
twice if the beacon is active.

Hazard Pod 20 A quickset airtight fabrock tent that provides protection from heat,
cold, radiation, acid and poison. Can filter in oxygen and nitrogen
from the surrounding atmosphere if available. If in a vacuum, has a
small 1 hour oxygen supply.

Space Pen 1 A writing implement that works in zero gravity. Looks really stylish.
Great flow and handling. Self-healing nib. A mark of prestige and
symbol of status.

Food Bricker 5 Organics go in. Detoxified, masticatable rations come out. Great
range of sauces available because the taste won’t leave your mouth
otherwise.

WEAPONS
Guns use the supplemental Guns & Ammo rules. Base guns use bullets with an oxygen-enriched, long-burning,
flight-stabilising propellant. Guns suffixed with (various) have versions that can use different ammo types. Guns that
use special ammo have a multiplier applied to the base cost of the gun.

When a gun’s Usage Die is depleted, it cannot fire. When a powered melee weapon’s Usage Die is depleted, it loses its
associated special ability. A weapon reload costs one tenth of the weapon’s price.

ARMOUR AND BARRIER POINTS
Physical armour uses the standard Armour Points rule. Personal energy barriers and energy shields use the
supplemental Usage Dice armour rule. People say personal energy barriers render you impotent, but I don’t believe
them.

Name Cost in mG Thing it does

Fabrock 50 4 Armour Points. Impact-ablative and rip-resistant cloth. Popular

for utility and industrial outfits as well as vacuum suits.

Shell 100 6 Armour Points. Hard polymer plates attached to fabrock.

Non-interlocking.

actuated armoured suit. Air, water, environmental hazard and
vacuum tight. Hard to find, harder to buy.

Shield Drone 350 15 Armour Points. An automated drone that intercepts incoming
attacks. Armour Points are not recovered after combat. Once the
Armour Points are depleted, the drone is destroyed.

Nano-Ablative Cyberskin 1000 9 Armour Points. Restores 1AP every other moment in combat.
Requires a cybernetic controller which counts as one cybernetic
device.

Kinetic Shield 100 Has a d6 Armour Usage Die. Small personal barrier device. Only
effective against melee attacks.

Kinetic Barrier 350 Has a d10 Armour Usage Die. Personal barrier device. Effective
against ranged and melee attacks.

against all attacks as well as gas, radiation and fluid.

Battlefield Barrier 5000 Has a d20 Armour Usage Die. Fixed-position squad-sized barrier.
Carried as a separate, backpack-sized device that requires
activation. Covers an area in a dome-shaped shield, large enough
for 6 humanoids to take cover. Cannot be moved when active.

Barrier Drone 350 Has a d12 Armour Usage Die. An automated drone that intercepts
incoming attacks. The Usage Die does not reset after combat. Once
the Usage Die is depleted the drone is destroyed.

Nano-Emitter Cyberbarrier 1000 Has a d10 Armour Usage Die. Regains a Usage step on max roll of
the Usage Die. Requires a cybernetic controller which counts as one
cybernetic device.

Smart Armour 10000 Combines powered armour with a stasis barrier and includes grav
discs (allows flight), drone swarm, shoulder-mounted AI-controlled
assault rifle, extendable slaymore with no Usage Die, and AI
recovery mode (Automated life support and retreat if the occupant
is incapacitated). Rich people don’t like handing these out to the
populace at all.

CYBERNETICS
Cybernetics are cheapish enhancements that break down regularly and require batteries. There are dumps overflowing
with parts. One can generally scrounge what is needed on a known world if a distributor can’t be found.

Characters can fit half their level rounded down in cybernetic devices and batteries. Devices will state if they require a
roll of the battery’s Usage Die, but even if not, they still need one present to function.

Name Cost in mG Thing it does

Tendomusc MX 30 +2 STR for a moment, roll Usage Die per use.

Cerenerves Express GTX 30 +2 DEX for a moment, roll Usage Die per use.

Corticex Socket-N 50 + 5 per Pick a specific area of knowledge. Buy a chip for it and plug it in. You get
chip an INT test to know something about that area of knowledge when
required.

Glaston Precision 30 You filter pathogens and toxins very efficiently. You have Advantage to
Circulation saving throws against contracting diseases and suffering their effects, as
well as against poisons. Roll the Usage Die when you need this.

Ocutron Explorer 1151 10 You see in infrared, ultraviolet and full darkness. You totally don’t get
occasional ghost visions of your own death. Nope, not at all. Roll Usage Die
per hour.

Synidia Synapse Accel 10 You can instantly numerate. You get advantage on data resolution tasks
XPT such as stellar cartography, battlefield assessments and doing your tax.
Also, when you shoot with sniper guns, you do full damage.

arm. It allows you to make melee attacks at Nearby range and grapple with
advantage at close range. Roll the Usage Die per attack.

Animus Grid 50 This is a device stored in your abdomen that you can exude via the navel
onto a corpse to reanimate it. Acts as a 1HD creature for a minute and
automatically drains a step of the Usage Die when deployed. The grid must
be recovered from each install. Not as self cleaning as you would hope.

Universal Remote 30 You can control your level in remote control equipment with thoughts
alone and do not need a separate controller. Control all linked equipment
with a single action.

Basic Battery 10 Provides a d6 Usage Die

Improved Battery 30 Provides a d10 Usage Die

Superior Battery 50 Provides a d20 Usage Die

BIOTECH
Biotech implants are expensively-sculpted flesh made for power and capability. They are considered to be reliable, and
do not need a power source. The sculptors do struggle with the issue of tissue rejection –
​ ​ not that you’d read about it.
Biotech is out of reach for most start-up opportunists, but some can get sponsored biotech implants in return for
contracted allegiance, usually to an ultrastellar.

You can get half your level rounded down in biotech implants. You will need to eat twice as much as usual. Conveniently
enough, you find you’re not so picky about raw, bloody meat anymore.

Name Cost in mG Thing it does

Muscles by Juequon 100 You receive grown Cordical muscle implants. The muscle fibres are
visible through the skin. +1 STR

Artemis Reflex 100 You receive Cordical tendon replacements. They thrum when you move
fast, especially during melee combat. +1 DEX

Jol Dorel presents 1000 You are implanted with sympathetic cells that can consume your own
Synergenetics damaged tissue and grow replacements at a spectacular rate. You
regenerate at a rate of 3 HP per minute.

Alpha Dominatio 100 RNA is implanted, and key anatomic structures enhanced, to create a
reflex melee attack with devastating power. You can choose to make a
melee attack into an automatic critical hit once per combat.

Pure Unbroken 200 Once per combat you can trigger an accelerated battle sense. Your teeth
glow for the duration. Your attacks have Advantage. The effect ends
when you miss an attack.

Jol Dorel presents 1000 Requires Synergenetics. Your blood can be used to heal others. You can
Synergestalt exude it from your palms to be absorbed on contact with others. You can
transfer up to 3 HP per minute. Transfer takes an action.

Jue Jue Popera! 200 Your vocal cords and throat are enhanced with Cordical muscle grafts
that grant you a sonic attack with 20 feet knockback. Use as a free action
with any melee attack. Has a d6 Usage Die. You can also talk like you are
using a megaphone.

Beuford Go 100 A Cordical tendon lattice in the legs to reserve, enhance and return
energy to your movement. You get double movement speed. You can
move to Far Away in one action.

The Knowing 200 You have heightened social instincts to detect the motivations of
creatures. You can tell if something close is hostile, peaceful, curious or
ambivalent towards you. You can make a WIS check to sense lies.

Opoidian Prodigy 200 You can exude combat stimulants into the air that affect you and your
comrades. You can give advantage to rolls to avoid getting hit or avoid
succumbing to fear. The effect takes an action to enact and lasts for a
minute.

Jol Dorel presents 300 You can extend fibres from your ears that painlessly puncture the skulls
Synerlimbic of other creatures and allow you to read their thoughts. You can recover
the last few minutes of memories from recently dead creatures as well.

ARCHAEOLOGICAL ITEMS
You can’t seem to land your ship anywhere without tripping over another civilisation’s remains. Weird geometric cities,
degenerate descendants, robot hives and thinking weapons litter the galaxy. Most ancient technology appears
inoperable and unfathomable, but that doesn’t mean you can’t give it a good old try! Are you sure which end is the one
to point away from your crew?

You need to pass an INT roll to use Archaeological Items. Consider adding a random disaster to an item to provoke
chaos, hilarity and an early lunch.

Looks like What it does

A glowing crystal pyramid When shattered, all Nearby power sources instantly recycle to full Usage Dice. Any
already at full Usage explode, doing their Usage Die in Bomb damage.

Ossified tentacles They speak to you and you alone. You feel it in your spleen. They want to understand
emotions. They urge you into highly energetic and irrational action. They aren’t

the process.

CHARACTERS
Choose a species and a career. Add the abilities of your species and your career to your character sheet.

SPECIES
You might want to build your own species with your GM or use an existing species with a different name and
appearance, which is fine. Or perhaps you’re a robotic candlestick with free will and a flame thrower. That’s cool too, I
suppose.

HUMAN
These indomitable chancers practically infest known space.
They form odd aggregations of societies, affiliations and
corporations due to their extremely social nature. They tend
not to act effectively as a whole species due to a nasty streak of
envy. Their flesh is considered the most luxurious and
succulent available.

Advantage to CHA rolls with friendly or neutral non-humans,

Advantage to FLV for unfriendly ones.

You have a social, professional or family association you can

call on for aid (and vice-versa).

BLEEKERS
The Bleekers are bioluminescent ambush predators evolved
from beetles. They form small packs out of social necessity,
and for hunting purposes. They readily change packs and can
integrate with other intelligent species well enough. Never
accept their dinner invitations. They tend to be rather
impulsive in favour of violence when on expeditions. They
have learned that getting along with other species can get
them meals as effectively as volunteering at the crematorium.

Your bioluminescence comes from spots on your elytra that

shed dim light to 20 feet.

If you gain first initiative in combat you do full damage that

moment.

8
TIKEETS
Tikeets are a gestalt organism of small wood-eating grubs that
get about in artisanal mechanical hives no larger than a
humanoid. They are often mistaken for robots. They are
gregarious to a fault, and separate hives can mix members to
share experiences and replenish losses. They are simply
delicious when candied, and an excellent source of protein.
They are not compatible with conventional biotech. Always
refer to themselves in the plural.

You have advantage on INT rolls to do with tech.

Your robotic home grants a base 2 Armour Points in addition

to any armour you are wearing.

SKRITS
Originally considered a pest species, Skrits are small but
remarkably well-adapted to survive in the environs of space.
They initially spread throughout known space by clinging to
spacecraft exteriors. Eventually they were adopted as pets
and quickly demonstrated their intelligence. They are still
inclined to fling their poo in times of stress.

You can survive and function in space and related

environments without technological protection for a day.
After that you need to enter a hibernation state or you will
die.

You get Disadvantage to your FLV rolls. Too gamey.

FEMERIANS
A large quadrupedal herd species. Literal knuckle draggers,
they are hardy and hairy herbivores given to bouts of rage.
Both males and females fight for mating rights, which is
spectacular to watch. They tend to favour biotech but can
operate regular equipment well enough. They are fascinated
by the intricacies of small things that they themselves cannot
create.

You have Advantage to CON and STR checks related to

exertion.

You can feed on just about any vegetation you encounter​.

9
 SKELDS
Skelds are hexapod reptilians that just want to be near you,
because you are warm. They swallow their food whole, and aren’t
the best conversationalists. They’ve got that thousand mile stare
that looks right through you. They are unflappable in combat and
bulk out many mercenary armies. Bonsai enthusiasts.

You automatically pass any combat based Panic! check.

You can cover an extra step of distance in your move.

NUTHERIC
The Nutheric exist in multiple quantum states. They appear to
vacillate between moral stances because they take into
account things that don’t exist for other beings. Their forms
are roughly humanoid and blurred, and the number of limbs
varies. Their settlements only exist in orbit, never planetside.
Still got to make a living though.

You are not quite there – take half damage from every other
physical attack.

Once per combat you can pass through solid matter.

QUIRILLIONS
Quirillions are tall, slender humanoid beings with extremely
long necks and no heads. A Quirillion's brain runs up the stem
of its neck. The end of the neck is metamorphic. They tend to
use their neck ends to mimic the facial form of whatever they
are communicating with. They are nonchalant about the
suffering of others, while also being keenly interested in
exploration and meeting new species. They are masters of
language and culture. They have no overarching society,
territory or resources.

You get advantage on INT checks for alien lore and culture.

You get advantage on social WIS checks.

10
ROUGHNECK / MERC / TROUBLE
You are very good at hitting things, and also at shooting them. You are not a
savage however, and have an icy calm, with leadership nous to spare. Also, you
can improvise a mean gumbo from just about anything.

Starting HP​: 1d10 + 4

HP Per Level/Resting​: 1d10
Weapons and Armour​: Any and all
Attack Damage​: 1d8 / 1d6 Unarmed or Improvising

avoid damage from an attack, they can opt to destroy a handheld item to
ignore the damage, once per combat.

A Roughneck can use their action to rally their companions and allies, once per
combat. Allies immediately heal 1d6 HP and for the next two moments they get
advantage on all Panic! tests.

Leveling Up
Roll to see if attributes increase, and roll twice for STR and DEX.

11
KNACKER / ENGINEER / FIXER
You’ve a knack for gadgets and you thrill to learn the secrets of technology.
No-one is as smart as you and fools should be relieved of equipment they
aren’t able to use properly. Clearly that’s everyone that isn’t you.

Starting HP​: 1d6 + 4

HP Per Level / Resting​: 1d6
Weapons and Armour​: All Pistols, Rifles and Platforms. Fabrock and Shell
Armour. All Energy Barriers.

Any roll for technology out of combat is done with Advantage. Even alien
technology and archaeological artifacts get this bonus.

You can spot weaknesses in your opponent's defences. Once per combat you
can make a INT test as an attack against one opponent. If you succeed, you
gain advantage to all attacks against that opponent for the rest of the combat.

Once per rest you can push a piece of tech to exceed one of its performance
boundaries. Sensors or weapons get an extra step of distance to their range. A
weapon automatically does full damage. You get a second attempt to open a
lock. You ignore a Usage Die result of 1 or 2.

Leveling Up
Roll to see if attributes increase, and roll twice for INT and WIS.

12
AVOWED / INTERRED / LIFER
In return for your eternal devotion to an ultrastellar you have been remade
into a moving, talking advertisement for the bold future they offer. You
have one assigned task – go forth and multiply the customer base.

Starting HP​: 1d8 + 4

and biological toxins and radiation.

You have a contact in your sponsor ultrastellar who you can tap for intel,
opportunities and implants at a tenth of the usual cost. You must
consistently demonstrate your contributions to the company though.

You can fit one Biotech per level, but no cyber devices.

Leveling Up
Roll to see if attributes increase, and roll twice for CON and CHA.

13
SPLICER / TECHY / NERD
You’ve got a body that readily integrates with cyber enhancement. You’re a bit
of a dumpster diver, but that comes with the hobby. You literally couldn’t stay
functional without it. You smell of oil and funk.

Starting HP​: 1d4 + 4

HP Per Level / Resting​: 1d4
Weapons and Armour​: 1d4 / 1 Unarmed or Improvising. All Fabrock and Shell.

Special Features

depletes on a roll of 1.

You can fit one cyber device per level, but no Biotech.

Leveling Up
Roll to see if attributes increase, and roll twice for DEX and INT.

14
SPACESHIPS
Spaceships are complicated vehicles, requiring a crew to operate. Finding a cheap ship that can take you places is easy,
keeping it flying is a whole other matter. Not to mention that there’s always someone trying to steal your stuff. Or
something trying eat you. Usually both.

COMBAT
Ship combat works like regular combat, with two key exceptions. In regular combat, each player makes stat checks as an
individual to resolve attack, defence and damage. In ship combat, all players make a stat checks as a crew to resolve the
ships attack, defense and damage. Also, damage can be used to degrade an opponent's ships systems as well as reduce a
ship's Hit Points.

SHIPS SYSTEMS
All Ships systems are rated using HD which are represented as d6s. Hull is represented as Hit Points.
Total HD - ​A ship's total HD value is the sum of its Helm and Speed.
Speed - ​If Speed HD is reduced to zero, you cannot move or avoid attacks.
Helm - ​If Helm HD is reduced to zero, you cannot maneuver or avoid obstacles.
Shields - ​If Shields HD is reduced to zero, your ship’s Hull and other systems can be damaged.
Guns - ​If a Gun’s HD is reduced to zero, you can no longer make attacks with that gun.
Hull - ​If Hull HP is reduced to zero, disaster! See the ship damage section below.

THINGS TO DO FOR THE CREW

Each crew member chooses a thing to do.

Pilot - ​The pilot is responsible for rolling DEX or WIS to avoid incoming attacks. They also decide how the ship should
move and how fast. If there is no pilot, the ship cannot avoid incoming attacks.
Operate Guns - ​Gunners are responsible for rolling STR or DEX to attack opponents. If a gun is not crewed, it cannot
attack.
Do Engineering - ​Engineers operate a ship’s special abilities and modules, or perform repairs. To perform repairs, pass
an INT then a STR stat check. Repairs restore 1HD to a system, or roll the HD to restore HP to the Hull.
Command - ​The commander directs the crew's actions. They can also assist any other crew member and bestow
Advantage to one crew member for one stat check per moment.

INITIATIVE AND ACTIONS

Each ship rolls for initiative by commander or pilot. Resolve initiative order for ships the usual way.

Each moment, a ship may move and each crew member may take an action. Attacking, repairing, and operating ship
abilities / modules all take an action. If the pilot takes an action, they cannot also avoid incoming attacks.

SHIP SIZE
Small ships allow the pilot to avoid attacks AND use their action to attack. Ship size also affects what kinds of equipment
may be fitted.

STRONG OPPONENTS RULE

Rolls to attack and avoid attacks use the Strong Opponents rule. Use total HD of the opposing ships to determine the
value.

MOVEMENT
Ship movement is governed by a ship's Speed HD. If players wish to pursue or evade another ship, the pilot will make a
DEX test using Speed HD with the Strong Opponents rule. If they pass the test, they may move their ship one step of
distance in the direction of their choice. If they fail, the opposite will occur.

15
SHIP DAMAGE
When a ship is damaged by an attack, it first loses the attack’s HD value from its Shields HD. Once Shields are reduced
to zero HD, you can choose to deal the attack HD value to a particular system’s HD, or roll the HD as damage to the
Hull.

When Hull is reduced to zero, immediately roll 1d4 on the Out Of Commision table. Remember the result. If the ship
continues to take damage when the Hull is at zero, sum following rolls with all previous rolls.

OUT OF COMMISSION TABLE

Roll Effect

1-2 Power offline. Ship’s HP is at 1. All systems drop to 0HD. Pass an Engineering roll to get back online in
the next moment.

2-5 Shaken and stirred. Ship’s HP is at 1 and everyone onboard take 1d4 damage.

5-6 Major Hull breach. The ship is venting air and losing inertial stability. All attack and avoid stat checks
are at disadvantage until the breach is sealed. Perform 1d4 repairs in a single moment to seal it.

7-8 System-wide Failure. You are adrift in space with no life support or power. Repairs are ineffectual.

9 Core Breach. You have 1d4 moments to get off the ship before it explodes.

10 Obliterated. The ship has been torn apart and everything is exploding all at once. Probably no
survivors.

OTHER SHIP SYSTEMS

There are other vital ships’ systems that aren’t used during combat but are worth noting.

Drives - ​There are many means of attaining superluminal speed. You might jump or fold space to move from point to
point, warp or quantum shift in a straight line, pass through a gate or accelerator network, pass in and out of another
dimension, or will yourself to be elsewhere. A superluminal journey usually ends within Nearby distance of the
destination.

Emergency Stop - ​All ships have gravity brakes installed. These allow ships to decelerate at a rate relative to how close
they are to a gravity well, which solves the problem of having to decelerate as much as you accelerate. Everyone flies
everywhere at top speed all the time. This does not cause inertial trauma to the ship or its occupants.

Sensors - ​All sensors have broad detection capabilities, and can find the following things at these ranges:
Close – spacesuits, corpses and debris.
Nearby – ships, meteors and asteroids.
Far Away – Transmissions, moons and comets.
Distant – Planets, gas giants and suns.

More powerful sensors can detect these groups of objects at further ranges.

Plant - ​Most ships run on a power plant that does not require constant refueling.

Modules - ​Every ship has a limited amount of space for extra modules or other equipment.

SHIP COMBAT EXAMPLE
Seems like just another day of hauling contraband in a rented Galoxy when a pirate Tarok drops in for an easy score.

Joneses: A Tarok has entered sensor range, Captain. It is approaching us at port.

Captain: Everyone get on the job. Burg, I want you on the port guns.
Burg: Human, I will man the helm, as is my inclination!
Captain: You have your orders, Burg! You’re the only one with jacked senses, and we’ll need them to be able to hit a
Tarok with this tub.
Burg: Very well, then.
Harmel: Helm checking in.
Reeeee: Engines are up to speed.
Joneses: Shields are at full capacity. We are taking fire.

Using the Strong Opponents rule, The Tarok’s total HD of 9 vs the Galoxy’s total HD of 5HD imposes penalties of +4 to
Attack and Avoid.
The crew rolls stat checks and passes both Avoid and Attack.
The Galoxy’s Cannon does 2HD damage to the Tarok. The Tarok only has 1 HD of Shields. It’s shields are down! The
other 1HD is applied to the Tarok’s thrusters, reducing Helm by 1HD.

Burg: Solid hit on its ventral stabiliser.

Captain: Harmel, try to keep that bastard in Burg’s field of fire. Reeeee, it’s moving fast. I need more power to the
engines, let’s close the distance.

The 1HD damage to the Helm means the Tarok now only imposes a +3 penalty.
The crew rolls stat checks and passes Attack but fails to Avoid.
The Tarok does 1HD damage to Shields, reducing them to 2HD. The crew decide to roll their own 2HD attack as hull
damage and the result is 8.

Burg: Direct hit along their starboard hull! They are venting fuel, I have nearly defeated them!
Reeeee: Shields are martini
Captain: Shaken but not stirred, good! Looks like she’s making a break for it.

The Tarok uses its evade boosters, giving 8HD for Speed. It will move to Nearby range in 1 moment and be out of range
of the Galoxy’s Cannon.
The crew fails checks to Attack.

Burg: Shot wide. Curse this weak tin can!

Captain: I’m blaming you for this, Burg.

Galoxy
Galoxy Pty Ltd is a now-defunct ultrastellar that made a wide range of small utility carriers, trawlers and tugs. They
were soundly built, functionally outfitted and available at a reasonable price. Second hand Galoxies are popular with
startups due to their low cost and ongoing reliability.

WHAT HAPPENS IN SPACE…
When travelling through space, you might like to pick a random space encounter or location. You should roll this when
getting Close to a planet or exiting superluminal speed.

Roll The Thing

1 Mineable asteroids. Infested with feral Skrits.

2 Space junk. Roll 1d6. On 1 or 2, it contains a salvageable ship module.

3 Cosmic radiation. Actually an energy being that can subsume carbon.

4 A Galoxy, adrift. Only 2 crew. They need repairs or a tow. Roll 1d6, on 1 or 2, they are bait for an ambush.

5 1d10 Taroks on patrol. Insist on boarding to search for contraband. Will actually plant contraband and then
inform their customer, who is waiting at the characters’ destination.

6 Collision with a single grain of a supernova core. Roll 1d4. 1 - Knocked off course by a light year. 2 - It is
sentient and inhabits the ship’s computer. 3 - Its altered quantum state lets it pass through the ship
unimpeded. Deeply uplifting. Everyone passes their next stat check automatically. 4 - It disperses into the
hull. The ship gains 20 HP but loses a HD in Speed.

7 Frigging Knapper pirates off the port starboard aft bow thingy thing.

8 An armada of Femerian territorian forces is approaching. This is actually a sensor glitch that goes away.

9 The thrusters aren’t responding and there’s a comet on a collision course. Of course.

10 A space village in an asteroid or a comet, or on a moon or a derelict hulk of a warship. They are friendly and
eager to trade. Roll 1d6, on 1 or 2 they have a limited stock of ship modules at unbelievable prices.

11 A rogue moon occupied by 1d10 + 1 different alien communities, all in various states of feud. They have no
ships. LOTS of opportunity.

12 Plasma beings. Great source of scientific study. Not at all co-operative.

13 The Opportunists’ Ball. 1d20 + 1 ships all locked together for the weekend. Great place to make contacts, trade
war stories, get loaded, swap genomes, and catch diseases.

14 Ultrastellar interference. It’s what they’re good at. A Warbor force-docks. The Captain of Operations makes
you an offer you can’t refuse. The Captain of Tolerance makes a side offer. The Captain of Publicity puts a
black market spin on it. None of them give you the right paperwork. The ticket number isn’t in the system.

15 Space whales! A lot of space whales. Wow, even more space whales! Now you are surrounded...

16 A huge conglomeration of derelict space ships! The hull is intact. Time to bang about for salvage. But is
there trouble hiding on board ? Will you be the one in need of salvage?

17 A life pod on its last gasp. No one recognises the alien inside it. Everyone is sexually attracted to it on sight.
Could it be dinner, death, or a date?

18 Refugees in a convoy. Their planet got exploded. The ultrastellar responsible is chasing them for back rent on
the reverse sovereignty contract. The refugees lost their copy of the contract. It’s down the back of a sofa.

19 An actual sovereign empire controls this system. Many different species living harmoniously under a
representative system of government with a lot of community outreach and cooperation. This is because of
the cyber-inhibitors they have had installed in their brain stems. They have no knowledge of this. Their
earnest and upbeat interactions are belied by their deadened grey eyes.

20 Space asylum. Weird experiments. Brooding facility Director that is obviously evil. Altruistic functionaries.
Corrupt officials. Uncommon insights. Impossible tech. The door just locked behind you. Have fun!
