From the Ashes (2e)
Death lurks among the stars¸ forever waiting for the unwary Player Character. From laser beams and bullets to the teeth of alien predators to the vacuum of space travel itself¸ death is¸ unfortunately¸ common in the far reaches of the cosmos. However¸ human (and alien) ingenuity pushes back at death and injury¸ with the constant progress of medicine. At high tech levels¸ deadly wounds and even death itself are no longer absolute: medicine can repair a broken body¸ replacing dead flesh and bone with plastic and steel¸ or alternatively re-growing dead tissues with advanced bio-medicine. This booklet details advanced technologies¸ from trauma medicine and trauma surgery available even at lower tech levels¸ to cyborg conversion replacing body parts with bio-mechanical systems and defying death¸ to advanced bio regeneration capable of bringing the death back from the very maw of death.
