<div>Note this is not really about the setting 1000 years in the future but it is about centuries in the future<br /></div><div><br /></div><div>Saw a game premise posted that involved a game set 1000 years in the future and thought ok what if a ship (assault scout or frigate) was trapped in a (engage universal translator and translate to Star Trek technobabble) "temporal anomaly" and it finally escapes but its centuries in the future.</div><div><br /></div><div>The Frontier was over run by the Sathar not long after FY111. <br /></div><div><br /></div><div>Some planets are efectively destroyed from orbital bombardment such that there are stone age tribes of core four eking out a miserable existence in the ashes of their destroyed world. <br /></div><div><br /></div><div>Some worlds have become client's to the conqueroring sathar clans. There is a resistance but slave bots and sathar agents are extremely common and the worms are in control.</div><div><br /></div><div>Some worlds were captured but resistance by the poplulation forced the worms to go total necromancer and bulk of the population is slave bots.</div><div><br /></div><div>The sathar clans turned to infighting before the conquest of the Frontier was wholely complete, thus:<br /></div><div><br /></div><div>a few worlds held out or remained hidden- I believe Moon World's Zebs Guide footnote says its a secrect Space Fleet/UPF base. so it will become the navy yard of the resistance. <br /></div><div><br /></div><div>the UPF is greatly changed and is no longer a treaty organization like NATO. its leader is dictator-ish and headquartered on Moon World. The other hold out worlds are bullied into submission and heavy taxation to support the military industrial complex of Moon World. <br /></div><div><br /></div><div>The Crown of Clarion is in exile. clarion is a conquored world- seems the worms enjoy its soggy environment. <br /></div><div><br /></div><div>Three independent worlds are cut off from the rest-Terledrom, Groth and the name of the colony in Kisk' Kar survived the worm onslaught just barely and its political structure remains unchanged. <br /></div><div><br /></div><div>Into this setting the PCs fly unaware. "Where is Clarion Station and the UPF space fortress in Clarion orbit?"</div><div>suddenly sathar fighters errupt from the planet surface and long range scan detects sathar destroyers bearing down from the outer system.</div><div><br /></div><div>Its questionable as to whether the organization that originally commissioned the PCs is still in existance so who do they take orders from? The Second Federation? There will be some new tech available like Jump govenors that allow for jump computations to be done in 1 hour/light year. any and all tech in any rule book or fan magazine exists somewhere in this setting (Gama World style in some cases). <br /></div><div><br /></div><div>Go:<br /></div>
