== Introduction and Background ==
 
−
Cheap, powerful ion drives opened up the solar system, bringing in ores from the asteroid belt and scattering mankind across the system.
 
−
Better yet, it looked as if Kemmler Compression would open up the stars, but crews sent on the longer jumps never returned, though some probes did.
 
−
 
−
Whether something about the drive caused the rash of emerging psy talents that followed the first tests or it whether it was just happenstance was never clear. The Ascendents were brilliant and almost all of them meant well, wanted to make the world better but their plans and the shock of their sudden emergence caused chaos.
 
−
 
−
The revolt against Psy Ascendancy almost trashed the planet. Ruthless and indiscriminate nano-tech attacks wiped out the Ascendants, anyone holding those genes and many other genetic heritages.
 
−
 
−
You cannot go home. So you work in space.
 
−
 
−
The “Compass Rose” is a sturdy, ugly ion-drive tug, hand-to-mouthing it around the outer system. Following a lead you have come upon the haul of a lifetime: a huge, state-of-the-art science vessel, tumbling silently in the blackness far beyond the orbit of Jupiter….

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.

+
Moving at your pace along a solid surface or between closely placed (less than 3 metres apart) handholds requires no roll.
 +
Jumping from one handhold to another requires an Athletics roll. If the distance to the next handhold is greater than the character’s Pace, they make the roll at -2, if it is more than twice their Pace it is at -4 etc. A success means they arrived safely, a failure indicates they missed their handhold, and they are now Floating.

+
====Flight====
−
|'''Attributes:''' Agility d6; Smarts d6; Spirit d6; Strength d8; Vigor d8
+
Flying requires suit jets and allows movement up to twice Pace with a simple Piloting roll, up to three times Pace at -2 to the roll. Failing the Pilot roll will give you the status '''Floating'''. In the case of a critical failure you have picked up a spin and are also '''Distracted'''.

−
|-
+
If you are not in reach of a handhold in a weightless environment your status is Floating. While Floating you are at -2 to use any trait linked to Agility.
−
|'''Edges:''' (Background) Brawny (Toughness +1, Size +1, +1 step to encumbrance 80lbs)
 
  
−
|-
+
If you have suit jets you can remove the status Floating by making a Pilot roll as a move action. This roll does not suffer the -2 penalty.

====Prone====

If a character would be knocked Prone they must make an immediate Athletics roll. On a failure they lose their handhold and start Floating.
