==RULE SET==
[[File:SWN.Exploring.jpg|400px|right]]'''Savage Worlds Adventure Edition''' (SWAE) with some rules from '''Science Fiction Companion''' (SFC)

From the SFC -- Note Strain (p. 29) is used. Also Edges – Cyber Tolerance, Cyborg, Gear Up & Rocket Jock; Hindrances: Cyber Resistance, FTL Sickness & Low-Tech (Minor or Major)


===Setting Rules===
(SWAE pg. 136-145) – '''''Born a Hero''''' (ignore rank requirement at character creation), '''''High Adventure''''' (benny to gain a combat edge you qualify for), '''''Multiple Languages''''' (characters start with ½ Smart die in bonus languages at d6), '''''Unarmored Heroes''''' (Wild Cards who don’t wear armor gain +2 to soak rolls), '''''Wound Cap''''' (Characters cannot suffer more the 4 wounds from any one attack).

'''Languages of the Frontier Space''': Trade (this is the standard language developed by the UFS over the centuries. It is a combination of various Terran tongues and the other major species), Terran (over the last six centuries the various languages of Earth have blended together, but some still cling to the old ones. The most common of those are English, Russian, Chines, French and Hindi) and the various species specific tongues. Most have developed universal languages. Only the Weren have region dialacts that are very different from each other and must be learned seperately.  


===HOUSERULES===
*'''Leadership''': because of advanced communications, the command radius of all leadership edges has been extended. With Command, the leader can provide bonuses to everyone that she can see and everyone that can hear here. With Command Presence she no longer needs to see them, but all must still be able to communicate with them (via a comlink, etc.).
*'''Range Modifiers''': Extreme, or double long range distance for -6 (see SFC pg.27) with the Aim maneuver.
*'''Heroic Recovery''': At the end of fight, all characters who have suffered a Wound or Wounds can make a Soak Check after a short rest (10+ minutes) for free. Make a normal Recovery test, with a success you recover a Wound.
*'''Run Dice''': Changed to d4+2 (instead of d6) or 1d3+1 (for d4) or d6+2 (for a d8), etc.
*'''Arcane Background''' (Psionic): the only type allowed for Arcane Backgrounds

===Regulators Campaign Idea===
The heroes are all new appointed '''Regulators''', a legal law enforcement and quasi-military force opperating in a Stellar Cluster of worlds that are allied under the '''United Frontier Space''' (or the UFS). Your job is to arrest criminals, protect UFS citizen and species under UFS protection from hostile forces.  

The headquarters for the UFS Regulators is located on the '''Goliath-II Space-Station''' within the '''Gamdee System''' (somewhat half way between Human, Vrusk and Yazirian space). Regulators congregate here to get supplies and gear, heal up, relaxes and recover and of course get new assignments, have meetings with UFS '''Intelligence''', etc.

[[File:SWN.SpaceStation.jpg | 700px]]

Regulator officers are drawn from all corners of the Stellar Cluster, but they share an unwavering sense of duty to protect the innocent and uphold the laws of the Frontier. Every year, thousands of hopefuls apply to the Regulators, for the job of a Officer is one of neverending exploration, excitement, and peril. However, only a few hundred applicants can pass the rigorous physical, intellectual, and psychological testing, and even fewer make it through the months of training and indoctrination once they’re accepted.

A Regulators campaign consists of a series of missions, and almost all missions begin the same way: A squad of Regulators Officers receives an assignment to locate a capture a wanted criminal (or gang of criminals) or to protect a settlement from hostile forces or rescue endangered citizens, etc. How they pursue their assignment is up to them; sometimes the direct approach works best, but Regulators Officers must also be prepared for undercover work, relying on their keen wits as well as sharp reflexes to take down their targets.

The Regulaters will be assigned a starship for mission and most players should have a few skills that allow them to assist in normal ship functions (pilot, enginer, captain, etc.)

===Space Truckers Campaign===
Fpr this campaign setting they don't work directly for the Regulators or UFS directly. Instead the characters all own a ship togther but they still owe lots of credits to the bank (or sponsors or loansharks, etc.) and need paying jobs to keep their ship running and make their payments.

The ship will take lots of cargo jobs to out of the way places and get hired to do dangerous "off-the-books" jobs for various clinets and even work for the Regulators at times.

Generally this can be a Light Freighter or maybe the Pirate Raider. Figure they have payed off 10% of its base price and own 40 years of payments to go (minus 1d10), at 5% of its base cost as payments per year.

They could also buy it 'usesd' and for every 5 years less of payments the crew has to make the vessel has a quirk, up to maximum of 20 years "off". 

So a new Light Freighter cost $9.28M. The group has paid of up $928,000 and have made (d10) 3 payments. They have 37 years at a cost of $464,000 each year.

===Species of the Star Frontier===
<font size=1>[https://wiki.rpg.net/index.php/SWAE.SF.StarLaw Back to Top] </font></br>
[[File:SWN,Human.jpg|200px|right]]<u>'''HUMANS'''</u></br>
Humas are one of the more common species within Frontier Space. Their numbers have grown quickly from their first colony of Gateway and they have multiple colony worlds now spread throughout the Stellar Cluster. Humans are from the planet Earth and share most of their characteristics for body types, skin, hair and eye colors, etc. but with a mix of generic modifications and hundreds of years of intermigeling. The average human stands between 5 and ½ to 6ft tall and weighs on average 150-200lbs. Humans males tend to be slightly taller and heavier then human females but only on average as the species has a great deal of variety of body types, looks, etc. </br>
'''Biology''': Humanoid Mammalian.</br>
'''Social Structure''': Multipolar Competitive or Coorerative.</br>
'''Lense''': Veriaty. Humans are an extemely deverse group when compared to most other species.
:'''Adaptablity''' [4]: gain a bonus Edge at character creation and start with six Attribute poimts instead of five.


<u>'''ALEERIN'''</u></br> 
[[File:SWN.Aleerin.jpg|300px|right]]An aleerin can be easily mistaken for a human at a distance or in poor lighting, for he bears the general shape and size of a human. Closer inspection, however, reveals veins of circuitry that weave with the aleerin’s flesh and blood to form a totally synthesized body. An aleerin’s hair consists of combined protein strands and filaments of cable and wire. Even the aleerin’s skeleton has been reinforced with super-strong synthetic materials, and bony protective plates cover the bioorganic flesh at the shoulders and across the chest. The aleerins’ appearance has led to humans calling them “mechalus” (singular and plural), and the aleerins don’t seem to mind. They tend towards average human heigh and weight with little variant between male and females. </br>
'''Biology''': Humanoid Mammalian(?) (hairless).</br>
'''Lense''': Joureying. The Aleerin seem to posses an almost incurable wanderlust. Their homeworld is somewhere outside the Stellar Cluster and they have few permenent settlements or colonies within. Most are found on wander on starships shattered throughout Frontier Space.</br>
'''Social Structure''': Democratic (with some Oligarchic tendenaces)</br>
:'''Cybernetics Systems''' [3]: Arleerin double their basic Strain limit (twice the ''higher'' of their Spirts or Vigor die) and start with the following cybernetic implants for free - Armor Plating 1 (1), Internal Communication (0), Internal Life Support (2), Reinforced Frame 2 (2), Secret Compartment (1) for a total of 6 Strain (See Cybernetics in Gear)
:'''Outsider''' (Minor) [-1] as Hindrance. Often seen as cool and unfriendly. 
:'''Technical''' [2]: start with a base d6 in ''Repairs'' skill and a maximum starting level of d12+1


<u>'''DRALASITE'''</u></br>[[File:SWN.Dralasite.jpg|300px|right]]
A dralasite is a short, rubbery xenomorph that has no bones or hard body parts. Its skin—a flexible, tough, and scratchy membrane— is dull gray and lined with dark veins that meet at the dralasite’s two eyespots. The internal structure of a dralasite is peculiar in many respects. Its central nerve bundle (brain), numerous small hearts, and other internal organs float in a puddinglike mixture of protein and organic fluids. A dralasite breathes by absorbing oxygen directly through its skin, so it has no lungs. Dralasites are omnivorous and eat by surrounding and absorbing their food, so they also have no digestive tract or intestines. The average dralasite stands around 4ft tall and weighs 125lbs on average. All dralasites are hermaphroditic, meaning they go through male, female, and neutral stages during their lives.</br>
'''Biology''': Exotic.</br>
'''Lense''': Indivualism. The Dralasite tend towards exteme independence. Their communities are small, and many Dralasites prefer to live alone. They care little about wealth, power, or status. They judge themselves and others by the quality of their ideas and their ability to discuss important ideas wisely.</br>
'''Social Structure''': Multiplar Cooperative with heavy Indivualism.</br>
:'''Ambidexterity''' [2]: as Edge.
:'''Clumsy''' [-2]: Suffer a –1 penalty (but not its linked skills) to all Agility trait tests
:'''Morph''' [3]: Dralasite have a limited form of shape-shifting ability. They always retain their mass but can somewhat assume the rough shapes of other species (they are still obviously dralasite in these forms). This also grant them one of the following Abilities (it is a free action to change but only once a round) - ignore one Multi-Action penalty with action that uses a 2nd (or 3rd limb), gain +2 on any type of Grab check, increase Pace +2 or Reach +2 
:'''Odd Form''' [-1]: while a dralasite could fit into almost any other creatures' armor, environmental or vacuum suit they cannot use their Morph ability when in one. A suit made specifically for them costs twice as much. Charcters can start with purchasing any of these at listed price at character creation but after that the cost is doubled. 
:'''Short legs''' [-1]: base Pace of 5 and Run die of d3+1
:'''Stout''' [2]: start with a base Vigor of a d6 and maximum starting of a d12+1
:'''Tough''' [1]: +1 Toughness
:'''Tracking Scent''' [1]: in base environments can track tracks by smell alone gaining +2 to ''Notice'' and/or ''Survival'' to doing so. This can also be used to detect 'invidibile' targets nearby (within 2-3") and halving invisibility penalties. 
:'''Vulnerable to Gas Attacks''' [-1]: As the dralasite 'breaths' with its whole body it suffers a -2 to tests to resist gas attacks or suffers -2 to their Toughness against such attacks.


<u>'''FRAAL'''</u></br>[[File:SWN.Fraal.jpg|200px|right]]
A fraal (singular and plural) is a small, spindly humanoid with pale, almost luminous skin and a slightly oversized cranium. Two large, opaque black eyes dominate a fraal’s slightly elongated face, which also features a small pair of nostrils, tiny ear holes, and a narrow slit for a mouth. To other species, fraal possess a wizened, inscrutable, and somewhat disconcerting look about them. The average fraal stands under 4ft tall and weighs around 65lbs. Most fraal are timid, secretive, curious beings who enjoy scientific pursuits, particularly space exploration and xenobiology.</br>
'''Biology''': Humanoid (Small) Mammalian (hairless).</br>
'''Lense''': Sagacity. The Fraal love intellectual and psychic pursuits above all others. Logic, wisdom and erudition are all prized as the best and most glorious ex[ression of their natrure and their rules are sages and scholars of remarkable depth and breadth of understanding.</br>
'''Social Structure''': Democratic Socialism.</br>
:'''Bright''' [2]: start with a base Smarts of a d6 and a maximum starting of a d12+1
:'''Natural Psionics''' [3]: begin with Arcane Background (Psionic) and the ''Psionics'' skill at a d4 and a maximum start level with it of a d12+1

<u>'''T'SA'''</u></br>[[File:SWN.Tsa.jpg|300px|right]]
Even when standing absolutely still—something that’s almost impossible for the creature to do—a t’sa (singular and plural) conveys an impression of speed, sharp reflexes, and constant activity. Standing on average one meter tall and weighing 20kg on average, a t’sa is lightning-quick, with a fast mind to match his fast body. Sleek, with a reptilian form and the legs of a runner, a t’sa has a fine covering of interlocking brown or russet scales that provide a modicum of natural protection. Most other species find t’sa, with their expressive eyes and childlike exuberance, extremely likeable. A t’sa has a natural curiosity and an affinity for all things technological. He’s a consummate tinkerer, disassembling devices to discover how they work and find ways to improve them. The t'sa stand around 5ft tall and weigh on average 110lbs.</br>
'''Biology''': Humanoid Reptilain.</br>
'''Lense''': Curiosity.</br>
'''Social Structure''': Democratic Republic (socialist leanings).</br>
:'''Agile''' [2]: start with a base Agility of a d6 and a maximum starting of a d12+1
:'''Fast on their Feet''' [2]: base Pace of 8 and Run die of d6+2
:'''Impulsive''' [-2]: as Hindrance

:'''Natural Athletics''' [1]: start with a base Athletics skill of a d6 and maximum starting of a d12+1


<u>'''VRUSK'''</br></u>[[File:SWN.Vrusk.jpg|300px|right]] 
A vrusk (singular and plural) resembles a large insect. Eight legs grow from her abdomen, four on each side. Her somewhat humanoid torso is mounted upright in front of the abdomen, and she has two arms connected at the shoulders. Vrusk hands are circular pads with five fingers spaced evenly around the edge. A vrusk’s shoulders are double-jointed, allowing her to rotate her arms in a full circle without straining any muscles. This flexibility also enables a vrusk to reach any point on her abdomen or behind her back easily. A hard, jointed carapace covers the vrusk’s body. The carapace protects the vrusk from bruises, cuts, scratches, and other minor injuries. A young vrusk has a blue carapace with bright orange near the joints. As the vrusk ages, her carapace changes to dull green with yellow joints. Unlike insects, a vrusk has an internal skeleton supporting her body. Her large eyes are protected by hard, transparent enamel, and four large eating mandibles surround the vrusk’s mouth. A vrusk tend to be over 7ft long from head to end of their abdomen, can rise up to being around 5'6"-8" tall and they weigh 260lbs on average.</br>
'''Biology''': Insectile.</br>
'''Lense''': Collectivy. While not a hive mind the Vrusk believe strongly in working together for the betterment of the group.</br>
'''Social Structure''': Oligarchic Socialism.</br>
:'''Armored Carapace''' [2]: natural carapace armor grants them +4 Armor Points. This can stack with out armor but only if specially made for them.
:'''Bright''' [2]: start with a base Smarts of a d6 and a maximum starting of d12+1
:'''Education''' [1]: gain base d4 in one of the following skills - ''Academic, Electronics, Hacking, Healing, Research'' or ''Science'' skill. This chosen skill also have a maximum starting level of a d12+1
:'''Can't Swim''' [-1]: Vrusk physiology means they can't float and tend to sink in water. They subtract 2 from ''Athletics'' (Swim) rolls and each tabletop inch of movement in water uses 4″ of Pace.
:'''Natural Weapon'''s [2]: Bite Str+d4 and Claws Str+d6. Always considered armed.
:'''Odd Shape''' [-2]: Vrusk are particularly odd shapened when compared to the other species and their hands have a much different shape. They subtracts 2 from Trait rolls when using equipment that wasn’t specifically designed for their race and cannot wear their armor or clothing. Equipment, food, and clothing cost double the listed price. Charcters can start with purchasing any of these at listed price at character creation but after that the cost is doubled. 


<u>'''WEREN'''</u></br>[[File:SWN.Weren.jpg|300px|right]]
Standing roughly 8 and a ½ ft tall and weighing in at a hefty 400lbs, a weren (singular and plural) is hard to miss. Covered in thick fur, he has a powerful form and wicked claws that make him a formidable opponent even when he is not carrying a weapon. A great mane of hair flares from his head. His fur ranges from black to shades of gray, brown, or white—regardless of color, weren fur has a shimmer and an ability to shift slightly in hue, varying with the surrounding lighting. Weren males are slightly larger than the females and have two oversized tusks jutting from their lower jaw; the females do not bear tusks but share the males’ powerful builds. A weren approaches life with amazing intensity. When he embraces a new idea of belief, he becomes a zealot. He professes the tenets of his beliefs with word, deed, and weapon. Though built for battle, a weren also loves to talk and share ideas. Despite their fervor and martial nature, not every discussion leads to a fight, and a weren usually won’t fight a weaker creature unless he is left with no choice.</br> 
'''Biology''': Humanoid (Large) Mammalian (fur covered).</br>
'''Lense''': Honor. Weren are often obsessed with honorable behavior. Members will obey the social mores and expectations of their roles at all costs. Personal sacrifice for the sake of upholding these principles earns a member glory and esteem.</br>
'''Social Structure''': Unified Clans and Monarchic.</br>
:'''Big''' [-2]: Weren are particularly large in a world where most others aren’t. They subtracts 2 from Trait rolls when using equipment that wasn’t specifically designed for their race and cannot wear their armor or clothing. Equipment, food, and clothing cost double the listed price.
:'''Bite''' [1]: base Str+d4
:'''Primitive''' (Major) [-2]: suffer a -4 penalty to any skill when related to technology above early industrical (muskets, steam power, etc). Can fire a gun just fine but will have a hard time learning how to fix one.
:'''Size''' [2]: and Toughness +2
:'''Tough''' [1]: Toughness +1
:'''Very Strong''' [4]: start with base Strength of a d8 with a maximum starting of a d12+2


<u>'''YAZIRIAN'''</u></br>[[File:SWN.Yazirian.jpg|300px|right]]
Yazirians are tall, thin humanoids. They have long arms and legs and slender torsos. Two large flaps of skin called a patagium grow on either side of their bodies, attached along their arms, torso, and legs. When a Yazirian raises its arms, this membrane is stretched tight and forms a sort of wing. Under certain conditions (explained under Gliding, below), Yazirians can glide short distances using these wings. Yazirians have muzzles and high foreheads, giving them an animal-like appearance. Their heads are surrounded by manes and collars of hair, which varies in color from glossy black to pale yellow. Their skin color ranges from gray to light-tan. Because their bodies do not sweat, Yazirians pant to keep cool. They are omnivores. The yazirian stand on average around 5ft tall and weigh only around 90lbs due to light bone structure.</br>
'''Biology''': Humanoid Mammalian (fur covered).</br>
'''Lense''': Pride. The Yazirian have a reputation as proud and fierce fighters. They also practice an idea of Life-Enemies... a clan or group or maybe just an individual whom they will dedicate their lives to destorying. A scientist might dedicate their life to finding a cure for a disease. They gain honor by striving to defeat this Life-Enemy. A Yazirian who joins the Regulators might dedicate their lives to destroying the Galactic Cartle, etc.</br>
'''Social Structure''': Tribalism (Clans) with loose Democratic (while clans and tribes are still inportant the Yazirian have a very democratic form of overall government)</br>
:'''Aggressive''' [1]: start with a ''Fighting'' skill of a d4 and a maximum starting level of d12+1
:'''Agile''' [2]: start with a base Agility of d6 with a maximum starting of a d12+1
:'''Infravision''' [1]: Yazirian “sees” heat. This halves Illumination penalties when attacking warm targets (including invisible beings).
:'''Gliding''' [1]: base flight of 12" a round but for each round in the air loss 6" of altitude. Can take an Action to make an ''Athletics'' check each round to ignore this if wind conditions are good enough (GMs call). This also means that must have some altitude to begin with in order to 'fly'. Cannot run unless moving with strong winds.  
:'''Light Blindness''' [-1]: suffer a -4 to any Agility trait test and/or skills that reilse on vision in normal light situations. Can purchase speciall light damping goggles for 100 credits ($) that reduce this penalty to -1 to Shooting attack or Notice to seeing something more then 10" (60ft) away.
:'''Night Vision''' [1]: along with their IR vision yazirian ignore Dim and Dark illumination penalties.  
:'''Odd Shape''' [-1]: Due to their gliding membrans, the yazirian cannot wear the armor or clothing or suits of other species. They must use one that have been specificially designed for them and then only so long as they are not encumbrance can they use their glide ability. They can't really glide in areas without and atmosphere (GM call for ceratin low-G situations, etc.). Armor, evironmental and vacuum suits and clothing cost double the listed price. Charcters can start with purchasing any of these at listed price at character creation but after that the cost is doubled. 


<u>'''ROBOT/ANDROID'''</u></br>[[File:SWN.Robot.jpg|300px|right]]
Robots and Andriods are artifical contructs - Robots that are fairly obviously a machine and Androids whom often look very Human like - while rare on the Frontier are fairly common in Human and Aleerin space. The UFS treats most as property unless proven to be sentient (through various legalize means) in which case they are granted special citizenship statues. The Regulators has accepted a few of these special cases into their ranks and treat them as full law enforcers. Most worlds are nervous about sentient VI 'machines' and treat them as non-citizens with few rights (as the property of other PCs). A few worlds are out right hostile to them while other treat them as full citizens of the UFS.</br>
'''Biology''': Artifical Construction</br>
'''Lense''': Servitude or Independence. Robots and Androids are programmed to be basically property (slaves?) of their owner. Those that develop sentients tend towards to be very independent. Some are still very cooropartive towards a group.</br>  
'''Social Structure''': Property of others unless granted citizenship.</br>
:'''Constructs''' [8]: Androids and Robots add +2 to recover from being Shaken, don’t breathe, ignore one level of Wound modifiers, and are immune to poison and disease. Constructs cannot heal naturally. Healing one requires the Repair skill, which takes one hour per current Wound level per attempt and  not limited to the “Golden Hour”. Cannot take the Arcane Background or any Power Edges. Also cannot benefit from any Power enhancer or healing, cannot be control by or sensed as a living creature with a Power, but still suffers damage from hostile damaging Powers, etc. 
:'''Dependency''' [-1]: Energy (batteries). Robots and androids must have contact with a energy source for an hour out of every 24. For every day that the miss this energy source they suffer a level of Fatigue. After 3 days the shutdown and no longer function. Each hour spent recovering connected to a energy source they restores a level of Fatigue. They cannot die by these means. 
:'''Function Programs''' [4]: start with one of the following Edges - Attractive, Brawny, Linguistic, Jack of All Trades, Mr. Fix-It, Soldier. Also gain 2 additional Skill point (17 points starting).
:'''Maintenance''' [-1]: Robots require monthly maintenance and check up by a skilled Tech (''Repair'' skill d6+) at a cost of 1d6 x 100 credits ($). If the maintenance cost isn’t paid, the player must roll on the Glitch Table (SFC p. 37).
:'''Outsider''' or '''Secret''' (Major) [-2]: Robots tend to be treated as property by others and they suffer the -2 to most Persuasion checks. Androids that are designed to look Human tend to keep this a secret least they suffer a similar fate.
:'''Pacificed''' or '''Drive''' (Major) [-2]: Most robots and almost all androids are programmed with "Do no harm to living beings or through my actions due harm". Those without tend to be programmed with other directives that cause them to focus on certain tasks. This only applies to sentient robots and androids though. Others simily follow orders and their programming. 
:'''Vow''' (Major) [-2]: Constructs are designed with a particular purpose. Player character constructs have broad directives such as serving a particular corporation or political faction. This acts as a Major Vow to that particular directive.

Robots and Androids can have Cybernetic Implants (just robotic systems) and use the ''better'' of their Spirts or Vigor die as their Max. Strain. Robots and Androids automatically have a built in Com-unit at no extra cost. </br>

'''ROBOT ONLY EDGES'''</br>
'''AQUATIC''': Full Pace and Run underwater. Normally don't need to make an ''Athletics'' (Swim) except in the most extreme hazards and then have +2 to their check.</br>
'''ARMOR''': adds +2 Armor Points and a +1 to Toughness. It does not stack with armor worn. Can be taken twice.</br>
'''DATA-CABLE''': A standard jack to interface with other electronics. This grants +4 to any Knowledge (''Academic, Battle, Common Sense, Electronics, Science'') rolls made to use or access the device.</br>
'''JET BOOTS/PACK''': The robot has internal jet boosters that grant it a Flight Pace of 6. Each additional time this edge is taken add 6 to Flying Pace speed. Max 4 times.</br>
'''MAGNETIC PADS''': Soles and palms are fitted with powerful magnets so the robot can cling to metal surfaces at full Pace (in zero-g or not). Also on a metal surface gain +4 to resisted being push, knocked over, etc.</br>
'''MEMORY BACKUP''': the robot can download its memory on a computer or memory chip, etc. If destroyed can be downloaded into a new robot body and retain all skills, edges, hindrances and advances it has made up to that point.</br>
'''MOTION TRACKER''': functions as a Motion Tracker sensor built into the robot (see Sensors in Gear).</br>
'''MULE''': Requires Reinforced Chassis level 1. Doubles the robots Carrying Capacity for its Strength and reduces any Strength Min for weapons and armor by 1 step. </br>
'''PACE''': Walking Pace +2 and one step increase running die. Add +2 Pace  and +1 step run dice (over d12 add +2 to Run) each additional time this enhancement is taken. Max 4 times.</br>
'''POWER PACK''': the robot double the time it needs before recharging (48 hours, 96 hours, etc.). It still recharges in one hour. Max 4 times.</br>
'''REINFORCED FRAME''': this edge adds +2 to the robot's Toughness. Can be taken one additional time. </br>
'''SENSOR SUITE''': this functions as a basic Sensor Suite built into the robot's body (see Sensor Gear below).</br>
'''STEATH SYSTEM''': Chameleon skin, heat baffles, radar scramblers, and other devices make the robot difficult to detect by vision or sensors. Those trying to detect or attack the robot subtract 4 from their rolls. The effect is triggered as a free action, but is negated any round in which the robot fires a weapon or emits some other non-cloakable signal such as radio signal or active sensor search.</br>
'''TARGETING SYSTEM''': Negates up to 4 points of ''Shooting'' penalties.</br>
'''WEAPON MOUNT''': The robot mounts a 100 pound or lighter weapon or tool on a 360° telescopic gimble. It may use this additional weapon at no multi-action penalty.</br>

===Updated & Disallowed Edges===
<font size=1>[https://wiki.rpg.net/index.php/SWAE.SF.StarLaw Back to Top] </font></br>
'''Disallowed Edges''': Chi, Gadgeteer, Wizard</br>

ENERGY WEAPON NOTES
:'''Cauterization''': all energy weapons cause cauterization and targets add +2 Vigor vs. Bleeding Out 
:'''Laser Weapons''': Laser weapons do not suffer a recoil penalty for multiple attacks in a round (except Gatlin Lasers). Lasers are also recoilless and do not impose extra disadvantages when fired in z-g environments.
:'''Plasma''': Plasma weapons are still experimental and unsafe to be fire around unprotected (deals ½ base damage to everyone within a SBT unless in full sealed Battle Dress). Plasma weapons ignore armor points from any totally non-sealed suits or vehicles and deal damage in SBT around the target area. Plasma weapons tend to overheat; whenever an attacker rolls a 1 on their Shooting die (regardless of Wild die), he suffer ½ the basic damage. It takes one round of not firing to cool down to be safe to fire again, otherwise suffer full damage if fired before then. Plasma guns count as Heavy Weapons. Wielders should wear a minimum of Battle Dress armor to operate safely.

==HISTORY OF THE STELLAR CLUSTER (FRONTIER SPACE)==
<font size=1>[https://wiki.rpg.net/index.php/SWAE.SF.StarLaw Back to Top] </font></br>
[[File:SWN.Human.jpg|450|left]]Sometime around the late 24th century Humans from '''Earth''' found a stable worm-hole in the '''Sol System''' (this was some 600 years ago from when the game is set). Massive amounts of colonization took place for almost 100 years after it was discovered, settling on the planet '''Gateway''', a habital lush garden world on the other side of the worm hole in what would be called the '''Great Stellar Cluster''' several hundred thousand lightyears from Sol. Strange astrological quirks lead to the development of faster-then-travel within this stellar cluster at around the same time that the worm-hole suddenly closed some 500 years ago.

As Humans spread out from Gateway they quickly discovered that they were not alone in this region of space and made contact with over a dozen different Stellar Governments and Alien societies (some with FTL some without it yet). Early on the various groups negotated a peace accord between the different governments and groups to form a huge Neutral Space between and among them. This space would eventually be formally called the '''United Frontier Space''' (UFS) as a semi-independent boarder region of interstellar trade and cooperation.

This treaty was called the '''Concord of Frontier Worlds''' was formally signed by most of the princale members some 400 years ago and the formal start of the UFS. The UFS serves to bring the variousty worlds and species together, and although it strives to maintain order and peace through diplomacy and judicious use of military force, it has proven ineffective in dealing with the galaxy’s criminal elements and hostile xeno/alien species. To deal with these hostile aliens, criminals and criminal organizations, the UFS formed the '''Regulators''' -- a quasi-military/law enforcement agency with the power and resources to locate and arrest criminals on any Frontier world and aid any resident against hostile external threats. Although the Regulators activities are closely monitored by the UFS’s intelligence community, the agency has been given sufficient latitude to pursue its directives as it sees fit.

The chief rival of the Regulators and the UFS are the criminal organizations known and the '''Galactic Cartles''', The '''Malthar Crime Family''' and various '''Shadow Worlds'''. The Galactic Cartles are extorsion, smugglers (especially weapons and illegal tech) and pirates. The Malthar Crime Family are lead by a group of renegade dralasites and specialize in slavery and forced labor but also competes with the Cartel on piracy and stolen tech (especially PsiTech). The Shadow Worlds are any worlds that doesn't adhere to UFS laws or are not part of the Concord of Frontier Worlds. Many are inhabited by hostile aliens who are extemely xenophobic or are primative and under protection from the UFS so as not to be exploited unfairly. These primitive worlds are called '''Protectorat''' and the UFS enforced a strit non-interferiance/explotation policy for them by normal citizens. This also makes these worlds attractive to criminals or wanted outlaws and anyone not wanting to draw UFS attention to themselves.

[[File:SWN.Clicks.jpg|300px|right]]Another threat to the UFS are the aliens. The first are called the ''''Klicks'''', due to their disctinctive clicking noises they made. UFS Intelligence has no idea what they call themselves as they have refused all forms of communication, including telepathic requests. It is not even known if they are sentient or controlled by another species but they do have access to somekind of advanced tech. Unfortuniaty for UFS Intelligence and the Regulators when one is killed its body rapidly starts to decompose and their technology with it. It is believe some kind of acid is responsable but again... unknown.

The second group of hostile aliens are called '''Briizin Raiders'''. They are believed to have orginated from outside the cluster although even those captured whom have been turned over to by UFS Intelligence don't seem to know for sure. They say they are exiles from their homeworld who were banished to this region of space. They claim that only their species is really worthy and that all other species should be ruled over by them. At present they have only raiderd along the Galatic North space and the worlds that they inhabit are said to be in that region of space but the UFS does not know where excately. They seem to be less advanced then most of the UFS but they are great at adapting stolen technology and have incorperated much of it into their own. Humans have describe the Briizin as looking like humanoid Shark-headed creatures (or at least what pics from old Earth shark would look like). They are amphibious, stand around seven feet tall and weigh an average of 250lbs. Females are slightly larger then males of the species and the most aggressive (and both are very aggresssive). 

===Other Setting Historical Notes...===
<font size=1>[https://wiki.rpg.net/index.php/SWAE.SF.StarLaw Back to Top] </font></br>
The Fraal are from outside the Stellar Clusters (as are the Aleerin) and their legends talk about something they called the '''Scream''' that originated from the Stellar Cluster some 2,000 years ago. The Scream was a psychic scream that traveled faster then lights speed out from the cluster and killed or drove insane almost all psychically aware individuals. The Freel were far enough away that they suffered little effects from this event but there are ruins of various technologies with super advanced Psitech found shattered thoughout the Stellar Cluster. The other species native to the Stellar Cluster all have legends of a time where they encounterd strange "space gods" who were all wiped out during this event (along with many of the psychically empowered memebers). They did however leave behind many PsiTech artifacts. These artifacts are way more advanced then anything that any species of the UFS have ever developed. It seemed that this tech drove all of the space-gods tech-- from basic household AI to their startravel ability. UFS Intelligence and the government have made the trade of PsiTech illegal but they pay large rewards for any pieces that are turned into them. 

The first star-faring species native to the Stellar Cluster where the Vrusk some 900 years ago. The Dralasite and the Yazirian quickly followed suite some 700 years ago. The Fraal immigrated into the Stellar Cluster on great generation starships some 650 years ago while the Aleerin arrived on their huge trading/space-colony starships some 500 years ago. The T'Sa are native to the Cluster and developed stardrives around 300 years ago and they joined the UFS some 200 years ago. The Weren are a primitive people still and were only "discovered" by others in the last 100 years. They are not offically members of the UFS instead their homeworld is still considered a Shadow World (most Weren on the planet are still very xenophobic and hostile to outsiders).

===The Stellar Cluster...===
<font size=1>[https://wiki.rpg.net/index.php/SWAE.SF.StarLaw Back to Top] </font></br>
The Stellar Cluster itself includes maybe a thosand stars and there are thosands of planets within it and several hundred that are habitable by most of the species. No one really controls more then a few star systems, the Vrusk '''Collective''' (as their society is called) has the most with control of 13 systems. The Humans of Gateway have formed what they call the '''Stellar Alliance''' of six systems. All of these colonies though are at least partially part of the UFS. The Yazirian have a loose collection of four worlds they call the '''Sendi-Clans of States''' that includes their homeworld. The Fraal had settled on three worlds that the called the '''Foundation Worlds''', the T'sa control their homeworld and one other colony. The Dralasite only control their homeworld (and then with a very loose form of government) where most of the colony worldds joined the UFS or remain independent. The Aleerin have no permanent worlds that they have settled in any numbers and prefer their huge space-colony ships to this day. They often travel throughout the UFS on these ships, trading or simply exploring.

Most other planets have been colonized by multiple species are part of the UFS government. United Frontier Space includes well over a hundred worlds. This is where most of the game will be set.

For stellar mapping the UFS and most of the independent species call the Gallatic Core or 'North' and the Gallatic Spinward or 'South'. Following the gallatic rotation is the Gallatic Spin or 'West' and opposite is Gallatic Ward or 'East'.

To the Gallatic North is a dark nebula called the '''Daarkin Cloud'''. Many of the stars within this region are partially hidden from USF observation and a bit of a mystery. It is however also where the Yazirian homeworld is located.

==SFC UPDATES==
<font size=1>[https://wiki.rpg.net/index.php/SWAE.SF.StarLaw Back to Top] </font></br>
As the Science Fiction Companion is the Deluxe Edition I am using lots of updates and mods to bring them in line with Adventure Edition, See below of Frame and Chassis.</br>

[[File:SWN.starship.jpg | 400px | right]]
'''Starships''' in this setting use Spike-Drill Drive. This allows a ship to "drill" a way through hyperspace and increadale speed. A Spike-Drill Drive Mark 1 can move a vessel as 1 lightyear per 48 hours. A Drive Mark II can move a vessel at 1 lightyear per 36 hours. A Drive Mark III can move a vessel at 1 lightyear per 24 hours. Finally a Drive Mark IV can move a vessel at 1 lightyear per 12 hours.</br>
Most vessels of the UFS are value 2 or 3. Drive 4 are fairly rare and very expensive.</br>
No matter the speed however, the longer one spends in Drive Space the greater the danger of dangerous stellar pollutant like energy is built up within the Drive Engines. This happens within a few days within hyperspace and as it gets progressively more dangers most civilians ships don't spend more the 72 hours within drive hyperspace. Military ships and emergency recusue do but have reduced specialize crew to give them the best chance of survival. Luckily most stars within the '''''Stellar Cluster''''' are within one or two lightyears of another and the Srellar Cluster itself is only about 300 lightyears across and 500 lightyears long. The region of '''''Frontier Space''''' is about half of that. </br>
Within the Stellar Cluster UFS controlled space has been fairly well navigated and mapped but there is a lot of unnavigated space surrending those control by the various species and colonized space, and Shadow Worlds that might never been visited (at least not by any offical UFS ships). Traveling on uncharted courses is risky especially the longer one spends in hyperspace.</br>

STAR SHIP OPPERATION NOTES</br>
'''Space Scale Speeds''': For Tabletop scale the Space Speed is multipled by 100 to gain the vessel's mph. For vehicles that somehow makes it to space or for weapons used in space divide mph and range increments by 100 for Space scale. , divide Speed by 100 to get its space scale. The Space Scale speed of a vessel is also about how may AU it can travel in a 24 hour period.</br>
'''Plotting Navigational Coruse''': Spike-Drill Drive Course Plotting requires a ''Science'' skill check with a penalty of -1 per light years to destination and takes a base of one hours time. Plotting a course in 20 minutes imposes a -2 penalty. Taking three hours adds +2 to the check. Advanced computers can grant a bonus. A ship’s AI can plot or provide a Support roll. Most civilian ships plot a maximum course of 3 light years taking 3 hours to be on the safe side. Failure results in the drill drive not engaging and requiring a new course to be plotting. Critical Failure damages the drive and requires 1d6 days of ''Repair'' and parts worth 1d6 x $5,000 x vessel Size in credits.</br>
These navigations are along established space is well mapped but plotting course to new uncharted worlds or restricted worlds (like a Shadow World) with these mapping information available is more danger. Depending on the data available and/or a navigator's access to restricted data the GM can imposs and addition penalty to the ''Science'' check from -1 to 5. </br>
'''Drive Space Stellar Pollutent Build Up''': A Spike Drive in hyperspace can travel saftely for the first 48 hours. After that first 48 hours in Drive Space if the vessel wishes to remain longer requires both a ''Repair'' and ''Science'' skill check to bleed off this energy so as not to suffer a Starship Critical Hit (SPC p. 44) to a sysem of the ship. If the tests are made the ship is safe for the additional 24 hours. Each additional 24 hours that is spent in Drive Space requires a new set of skill checks as above BUT with a cumlative -1 penalty to them. </br>
Once out of hyberspace a vessel need to bleed off this pollutent built up by spending a number of hours with a star system (not deep space). This require 6 hours per day that was spent in hyperspace. An engineer can attempt to burn this off faster with a ''Repair'' skill check to bring this down to 2 hours per day spent in hyperspace. However a critical failure damages the drive requiring 1d6 days of ''Repair'' and parts worth 1d6 x $5,000 x vessel Size in credits.</br>

<font size=1>[https://wiki.rpg.net/index.php/SWAE.SF.StarLaw Back to Top] </font></br>
WEAPON NOTES</br>
Weapons Ranges are listed for Player's Scale. For Starship Scale divid each Range Increment by 100. This is the space space (so a Range of 100 on the Starship scale has a range of 1).</br>
'''Fire''': Ignores half non-sealed armor points (round down), targets in area must make a Agility check or catch fire, suffer 2d8 damage each round. Takes an Action and Agility -2 check to put fire out. Rolling on the ground adds +2 and immerses into water automatically succeeds.</br>
'''Reaction Fire''': Anti-missile and torpode weapons. The basic AI of a system grants it a d10 ''Shooting'' skill (it is also an Exra). These attacks have one chance to destory missiles and torpedoes before they hit the ship or the shields. If successful the missile or torpedo is destroyed before striking the vehicle. If still within AOE it deals half damage (and if the vessel has active Shields it halves the damage again)


AUTO-CANNONS</br>
Auto-cannons (also called chain guns) are powered weapons that fire bursts of chemically propelled metal slugs at the target. They are primarily used by light military vehicles and aircraft to destroy ground targets or as point-defense weapons for starships. Ammo costs are for a full load drum of shots. All Auto-Cannons are considered Heavy Weapons.</br>

CANNONS</br>
Cannons fire large, chemically-propelled, explosive shells. The shells listed below are the most common. High explosive versions reduce the damage die type to d8 and halve AP but increase the Burst Template to Large, or to 10” radius if already Large. Ammo costs are per full load. All Cannons are Heavy Weapons.</br>
A cannon that is used an an Artillery Piece is also available. The cost and damage/AP is the same but range is doubled and the number of shot is 1. With a crew equal to the Mods of the cannon the weaon can be fired every other Round (i.e. Small Cannon has 2 mods so needs 2 crew memeber. Artillery pieces are movable but they cannot fire when doing so as not not generally mounted onto vehicles.</br>

FLAME WEAPONS (In An Athomsphere Only)</br>
Flamethrowers use liquid or vapor fuel to burn targets. They’re often used to dig opponents out of caves or other tight places. The ones listed here are more powerful, lighter, and carry more propellant than older versions (such as those found in Savage Worlds). The firer can use the Blast Template or fire out to a range of 18" (36 yds) for a Medium or Large Burst template depending on the size of the weapon</br>

MASS DRIVER (Starships only)</br>
Mass drivers are large, space-based, rail systems used to magnetically accelerate heavy projectiles at high speed, causing devastating damage wherever they impact. The ranges listed below are practical limits. In space the actual range is infinite. Projectiles are made of
dense metallic materials (rocks) such as can be found easily in asteroids or planets with no manufacturing capability, making them favorite weapons for long-range military vessels that need to supply from natural materials (5 shots per hour can be mined from most asteroids). All Mass Drives are Heavy Weapons. As Mass Drives are only usable in Space that scale is used.</br>

|}


MISSILES & TORPEDOES</br>
For direct fire against a target, Attackers make a ''Electronics'' or ''Shooting'' opossed by the target's ''Electronics'' or ''Hacking skill''. Success by the attacker means that the ship has a weapons-locked the target. On the following round as an Action a successful ''Shooting'' check strike the target. Without weapons-lock the attack roll is at an additional -4 in addition to any other penalties. Targets can try to break weapons-lock each round after but as an opposed roll where they suffer a -2 penalty to their ''Electronics'' or ''Hacking'' check (until the weapon's lock is broken when the checks suffer no penalties).</br>
For proximity or AOE fire at a target, the Attackers make a ''Shooting'' check opposed by the target's ''Electronics'' or ''Piloting'' check. A win by the attacker means the weapon detenated nearby and the target veessel suffers Half damage. The target could attempt a seperate ''Piloting'' check at -4 to 'dive out of the way' and suffer no damage.</br>
All missiles and torpodes are Heavy Weapons.</br>
'''''EMP Warhead''''': Any of the missiles or torpedoes can be fitted with electromagnetic pulse warheads at no additional cost. These don’t cause actual damage, but still roll “damage” normally and compare to the vessel’s Toughness, ignoring Armor. A success knocks out the ship’s systems so that all electronics are down (deflector screens, shields, weapons, maneuvering, etc.). Starship continue moving in a straight line at its last speed, ground vehicles might crash or roll to a stop, watercraft drift to a stop, aircraft start falling out of the sky. It cannot take actions until the crew mist take an Action and makes a ''Repair'' roll at –2. With a raise on the attack roll was made the penalty is -4. If the ''Repair'' check is successful, the vessel’s electronics reboot and it may function normally on the following round. On a raise, the vessel can function immediately. </br>
EMP warheads are stopped by Shields, so an attacker must first eliminate those to effect the ship’s hull and fry its systems.</br>

'''Starship Notes'''</br>
For Tabletop combat in Space the squares are basically the same as table top personal combat. This is how may squares (or inches) it can move each round.  Also the Space Scale speed of a vessel is about how may AU it can travel in a day. If measured in planetary scale x the Speed by 100 to get miles per hour.</br>
Spike Drives require a minimum Starship Size of 10 to be installed.

|-
| '''Superstructure (U)''': Superstructures are massive extensions that add great amounts of space to Greater Size or larger ships, typically to accommodate more passengers or cargo. Each superstructure adds one to the fuel used per day, consumes 10 regular Mods, and subtracts 1 from the ship’s base Toughness (not Armor) as it reduces overall structural integrity. Choose the type from the Superstructure sidebar (SFC pg. 47). || 10 || $5M

|-
| '''Tractor Beam (U)''': Tractor beams are specialized starship weapons designed to hold an enemy ship in place and pull it to the “attacker”. Ships can only affect vessels of smaller Size. Their range is short or 4 on the starship scale, so they must get a Short Range result on the Chase table to use the weapon. This is an opposed attacker's ''Electronics'' roll at –4 vs the target’s ''Electronics'' or ''Hacking'' or ''Piloting''. If the attacker is successful, the enemy ship is caught and pulled into contact in 2d6 rounds. A captive’s ship’s life support systems remain active, but all locomotion and weapons are shut down. || 5 || $1M
