[QUOTE="GreenKarl, post: 7477717, member: 6801242"] So to better sell the setting, I am using the overall ‘implied’ setting of the core N.E.W. rules, with Humans and Ogrons, Venetians, Borians, Androids, Spartans and Felans. I have the Starship Recognition manual, which adds a lot to the implied setting (along with the Starship Construction book). I am going to add and change some too it but it’s the early 24[SUP]th[/SUP] century. The [B]Allied Union of Worlds [/B](or simply the Union) is the human dominate government but has a number of various independent alien worlds have tentatively joined for the mutual benefit of all. But each non-Human race still also includes their own area of controlled space that they govern independently of Humanity (except maybe the Felans as they were a pre-stellar civilization prior to being discovered by Humanity). Especially the Venetian who hold themselves apart from most of the other races. The PCs are called [B][I]Regulators[/I][/B], semi-independent freelance law enforcers operating in a remote sector called [B][I]the Reach[/I][/B]. This space has only been recently colonized by the Union within the last twenty years. The Regulators jobs is to help maintain law and order out here on the frontier by hunting down criminals, search and rescue missions, solving mysteries, fix thorny problems and even exploring the strange corners of space. The Headquarters for the [B]United Frontier Authority[/B] (UFA), the company that issues bounties and contracts for the Regulator units, is located in the [B][I]Arden Yesser Meteor Belt[/I][/B] in the [B][I]Gamdee[/I][/B] System. Regulators congregate here to get gear, get new bounties and contracts and collect on them. The Union was pouring resources into the region until about five years ago when a new threat to Humanity and the other races appeared on the other side of Known Space. A hostile and extremely aggressive force known as the [B]Zenth Empire[/B] started an all-out invasion of Union space! The Union has been able to stop the Empire at least temporarily but the imports into the Reach have dried up. And now, not only have resourced stopped coming but now the Union has started pushing the Reach to provide rare materials for the war effort. Unfortunately most of the planets here are just too young to have the capacity to export much. To add to the Reach’s woes, a new hostile alien has been making appearances – the [B][I]Klicks[/I][/B] – a spider-crab-like creatures that refuses all forms of communication with others and is extremely hostile and violent with all deals with the civilizations here. In fact the name Klicks is simply the name that those whom have had encountered these aliens in the past as no information is available on what they might call themselves, how they communicate with each other, what their desires or intensions are, etc. And then there is the [B][I]Guff of the Dead[/I][/B] – just beyond the furthest colonies within the Reach is a region of space where the ruins of some ancient Forerunner species can be found. At least a dozen worlds so far are said to contain these ancient tombs, huge unknown structures with deadly secrets. But there could also be technology beyond even what the Venetians have achieved and there is a growing demand for even the simplest of trinkets. This has created something of a mini-treasure-rush like situation and one that the UFA would like to stamp out! [/QUOTE]
