Skirmish Wargaming in a Science Fiction Underworld
ogue Stars is a character-based science fiction skirmish wargame¸ where players command crews of bounty hunters¸ space pirates¸ merchants¸ prospectors¸ smugglers¸ mercenary outfits¸ planetary police and other such shady factions from the fringes of galactic civilisation. Crews can vary in size¸ typically from four to six¸ and the character and crew creation systems allow for practically any concept to be built. Detailed environmental rules that include options for flora¸ fauna¸ gravity¸ dangerous terrain and atmosphere¸ and scenario design rules that ensure that missions are varied and demand adaptation and cunning on the parts of the combatants¸ make practically any encounter possible. Run contraband tech to rebel fighters on an ocean world while hunted by an alien kill-team or hunt down a research vessel and fight zero-gravity boarding actions in the cold depths of space - whatever you can imagine¸ you can do.
