==Rules Modifications==
Mechanically, this game will be played with FATE Core and the Tachyon Squadron rules. The mechanics won’t need to be modified for the different setting, though there will be some change to gear.<br>

The main mechanical difference will be in defensive checks. In order to speed up things in a PbP setting, instead of the target rolling the FATE dice, they’ll be assumed to roll a 0, so the target number will just be the skill value for the defensive skill (which will be made available on the combat tracker).<br>

Players and NPCs will be able to spend FATE points and invoke aspects retroactively to turn a hit into a miss per the usual rules. For instance, if your fighter is targetted by an alien plasma cannon, and the alien rolls and hits by 1; after my post, the player would be able to spend a FATE point and invoke an appropriate aspect to increase the defence by 2; and retroactively turn the hit into a miss.<br>
