Humanity has established permanent presence on Luna, Earth-Luna Lagrange points, and Mars. Colonies, stations, and outposts on The Belt and distant moons provide harbor for intrepid miners and religious sects. But civilization is being re-shaped, yet again; the first generation of deep-space infrastructure, the new "Laser Hiway," is proving as disruptive as the prophets warned.<br> The game uses the familiar 2d6 skill-based framework used by Traveller and Cepheus-derived systems. Characters possess characteristics, skills, equipment, and backgrounds, and most tasks are resolved by rolling 2d6 plus skill and characteristic modifiers against a target number. The game uses taglines, experience points, and skills training.<br> While the mechanics will feel routine to Traveller players, the assumptions behind the setting are significantly different.<br> For general rules, the reader is directed to Cepheus Engine Orbital 2100, Cepheus Universal System Reference Document (SRD), or Mongoose Traveller. Consider this milieu tech level (TL) 9 minus jump drives and gravity manipulation.<br></big> == Getting started == <br> * [[Setting|'''<big>The Setting</big>''']] * [[Timeline|'''<big>Timeline</big>''']] * [[Glossary|'''<big>Glossary</big>''']] * [[Shorthands|'''(A few new) <big>Shorthands</big>''']] <br> * [[Character Creation|'''<big>Character Creation</big>''']] * [[Skills|'''<big>Skills</big>''']] * [[Annotated Skills|'''<big>Annotated Skills</big>''']] * '''[[Genetics|'''<big>Genetics</big>''']] <br> <!-- *[[Technology|'''<big>Technology</big>''']] --> <!-- *[[Ship Types]] --> *[[Fuels and Energy|<big>'''Fuels and Energy'''</big>]] *[[Laser Highways|<big>'''The Laser Highway'''</big>]] <br> *[[HELIX|<big>HELIX</big>]] *[[ATLAS|<big>ATLAS</big>]] *[[LUNE|<big>LUNE</big>]] *[[TERRA|<big>TERRA</big>]] <br> *[[RELIGIONS|'''<big>RELIGIONS</big>''']] <br> *[[World-Building|'''<big>World-Building</big>''']] <br> '''Or, try browsing by [[Categories]]''' Questions, corrections, and account requests: Mike Cochran<br> otyugh@sbcglobal.net rk46eqi9s340wonoauzva017ak9hrsl
