[QUOTE="gamerprinter, post: 6236740, member: 50895"] Well, having downloaded and read both Santiago Setting Guide and Players Guide, I have been getting inspired creating my own corner of the galaxy, and here are my initial ideas on the subject: [B]Cloud City[/B] - in a breatheable layer of a gas giant, something like the cloud city from Empire Strikes Back. It harvests exotic gases from the atmosphere around, below and above it - like mining. [B]Prison Planet[/B] - a harsh desert or ice world, with valuable heavy metals, now operated as a penal mining settlement. [B]Landfill Planet[/B] - think Human Occupied Landfill, a world of heaps of garbage, old technology, toxic waste, inhabited by wandering bands of free roaming prisoners left there by their respective planets as an alternative to maintaining a prison world. [B]Rogue planet[/B] - broken from it's star system orbit and now on it's own trajectory, volcanic vents on the surface keep the surface warm, dark and habitable, could be used as a pirate base attacking systems the planet passes by. [B]Lilliputian planet[/B], home to diminutive race who are the masters of nano-technology, visitors there might feel like Gulliver. [B]Space vehicle encounters[/B]: [B]Relic space hulk[/B] - huge alien ship of unknown origins [B]Colonial cold sleep transport[/B] - a starship of old technology, due to slow cruising speeds, an entire colonial population is in cold sleep while computers keep the system online to some eventual destination. [B]Space hazards[/B]: black hole, region of micro singularities, gamma radiation burst, solar wind, meteor storm, unstable wormhole. Of course, I'd want to find a way to include Kaidan material into my own star faring nation - some Interstellar Shogunate under the guise of a conglomerate of Japanese megacorporations, not only would I sci-fi up some samurai to fit, like ninja being already an available class in Santiago. I'd use the gang rules stat block from [URL="http://rpg.drivethrustuff.com/product/96752/Way-of-the-Yakuza-%28PFRPG%29?term=way+of+the+yakuza"][B]Way of the Yakuza[/B][/URL] and create an interstellar crime syndicate based on the yakuza to control a star system or two with gang affiliations on many trading planets. The crime syndicate would control humanoid trafficking, drugs, banned technology, gambling, prostitution, money lending, smuggling. [/QUOTE]
