Crew Expendable

THIS IS THE UNITED STATES COMMERCIAL STARSHIP DIOCLETIAN...
IS ANYBODY OUT THERE?
CREW EXPENDABLE is a supplement for Cepheus Engine and the HOSTILE setting. It provides players with a comprehensive campaign of routine space travel - interstellar haulage carried out by blue collar ‘space truckers'¸ working Joes just trying to make ends meet¸ and to stay alive.
The book provides a ship¸ it provides a selection of available crewmembers and an array of tables for creating contracts that must be fulfilled. There are star maps¸ rolls and tasks for all the crew-members and a new starship - the Harbinger¸ a multi-purpose freighter. This isn't a space trading game where players use their wits to buy cargoes cheaply and sell them for a profit. Instead it is a process of shipping cargoes where they need to be¸ to a deadline - and the adventure comes along the way.
This book is best used as a framework for a typical roleplaying session¸ but also works brilliantly as a solo star-faring campaign when combined with the Zozer Games book¸ SOLO.
CREW EXPENDABLE includes:
- New 'charter-line' companies
- The Harbinger¸ a 1000-ton cargo carrier
- 36 NPC Crewmen for your games
- Starmaps
- Comprehensive rules for interstellar haulage
- Tasks and rolls for all player character crew-members
- Random events¸ encounters and mishaps
