Introduction and Background
You are a reject. Though the USSR is theoretically a modern, tolerant state you are unacceptable because of your views, sexuality, race, appearence or taste in music. Or perhaps you just pissed off someone powerful.
So you are now a conscript in coldest, most isolated, most dilapidated, ancient shithole of a base in the whole expanse of mighty Russia. Base 58

Setting Rules
The game runs using Savage Worlds Adventure Edition rules. Characters start as Novice and are either crew of the Compass Rose or survivors on the Kaine. The only Arcane Background is Psionics, which makes you an Ascendant, hunted and reviled and needs me to sign off on it.
