Abandon All Hope Core Rules

In the 27th century¸ after generations of war¸ Terra has finally entered a Golden Age. With the rise of a new global regime¸ and the installment of a Pan-Terran Meritocracy¸ efforts are made to stamp out crime and violence permanently. The solution: the ruthless rounding up of all murderers¸ vice offenders¸ dissidents and anarchists and loading them onto the colossal prison hulk¸ Gehenna. The concept is simple. Eradication of all lawbreakers from Terran society and indefinite exile to the furthest corners of space.
"Five years into its automated voyage¸ the Gehenna has inexplicably vanished from all tracking and earth-based telescopes. Five years into its voyage¸ the Gehenna and the nine million souls aboard her has slipped through a spatial anomaly into another dimension entirely.
"The event has wrought havoc on the ship and caused the death of many aboard. Thousands more are now free¸ running riot in the ship's dark levels. Murderers¸ rapists¸ and maniacs are loose¸ but they are not alone. This new dimension is home to strange alien lifeforms that are drawn to the hate¸ misery¸ fear and suffering of those aboard.
