''"I've made Serjeant since then and have been doing fairly well, if I may say so myself. But now the orders have come down to accompany this bleedin' Earther and his friends on some sort of archaeological expedition. They're headin' up into unmapped mountain territory and, since the damned High Martians have been taking captives again, the Captain has ordered protection. Says he figures they may as well send me; I can speak a bit of the language — or at least one of them — if need be, and if nothing else I can at least make some maps for the bastards back at HQ to file away and forget about.'' | ''"I've made Serjeant since then and have been doing fairly well, if I may say so myself.

I went into this wanting to create a soldier who quite clearly wasn't going anywhere. Overall, I think I've managed that and am quite pleased with the final character result. However, the rules for character creation in Space: 1889 are a tad on the fiddly side. Supposedly the actual game system is as well, but I've never had the chance to play it. The setting, however, is wonderful. | I went into this wanting to create a soldier who quite clearly wasn't going anywhere.
