[QUOTE="Ralts Bloodthorne, post: 1755994, member: 6390"] Much of the data will be free. Further data on the Terran Confederacy, the Terran Confederate Marine, The TC Navy, The Artificial Systems (Both BALF and DALF), the Shivak, the Twipek, and other races. More equipment will be available, including some solar system data. Some stuff will be available for a price on RPGNow, other stuff will be advertised at RPGNow but available on our website. We are hoping to present enough material, here at ENWorld and on supporting PDF's that GM's will be able to have a d20 Campaign with ease, without it bankrupting them. (Hey, if you're like me $5 is a stretch!!!) I'll drop you an email when it gets closer to PDF copies. In the meantime keep checking this thread and others on ENWorld for more information, mechanics, and just good butt-kicking Confederate Marine goodness!!! -----------------BEGIN GOODNESS------------------ [size=7][color=green][center]Biological Artificial Sentient Systems[/center][/color][/size] The BASS is a loosely aligned set of 35 systems, 120 LY Spinward, 50 LY Down, consisting of: Clone Worlds, Genejack Worlds, Uplifted Species and Tweaks. [b]The Clone Worlds:[/b] Free clones, most of which have been created on these worlds, live and are created on these worlds. The cities are often wild, tangled areas, a mismatch of architectures and technologies. depending on what clone "strain" inhabits or planned the sector. While many citizens who have never been to any of the BAS systems expect mathmatically precise and uniform throughout the entire world. This is not the case, however, as the Clone Worlds were settled by survivors of the First Artificial War. Genetic lines that had undergone changes due to the war, through deliberate physical modification via cybernetics or gene-tweaking, and mental differences due to vastly different experiences. Still, the surviving clones longed for the order they had lost due to the fighting, the sense of "belonging" that they had known in the creche, and so the genetic lines began grouping together, not only by gentic lines, but in some cases by battle group, completely disregarding genetic lines. Even though the clones had recently fought a war, another one exploded as the clones who pressed for "line purity" began fighting it out with those who had grouped together due to battle group. Between groups that wished to breed only though genetic selection and clone facilities, and those who wanted to breed freely and do genetic selection clone facilities at the same time, and those who advocated free breeding. The Terran Marines and the Terran Navy stepped in within 2 years, threatening to "Take them down to the line" if the hostilities did not cease. The clones immediately halted the war, and began parleying upon how to handle it. Those who advocated free breeding and those who swore to only procreate via cloning facilties agreed to go to seperate star systems, on opposing thirds of the newly established BAS Systems, with the clones that advocated a combination of systems in the middle. The genetically engineered homo-sapiens, animals or artifically created life forms settled with the middle system. Within 200 years, the BASS (Biological Artificial Sentient Systems) had homogenized, without the strained relations that marred the first 100 years of the systems existance. The specialization in genetics, medical technology, cloning and other life sciences allowed the BASS to quickly recover thier economy and become a major player. While genetically engineered "super-thinkers" give the BASS a slight edge, thier refusal to hire DAS's to work for them slightly slows/hampers thier advances. Thier number one export are clones to replace the aging, critically injured or destroyed bodies of citizens of the Confederacy, biological constructs for colonization or manufacturing. Tensions between the BASS and the DASS are still strained, as the BASS did not side with the DASS during the Second Artificial War. [center][size=5]Biological Artificial Sentients System Space[/size][/center] A recent discovery (75 years ago) showed that a debris field was entering the BASS in hyperspace, and while this has made navigation of hyperspace more hazardous, many valuable artifacts have been discovered. With the loss of the genetic material from thier 6 explorer lines, the BASS government has decided that hiring Confederate Citizens may be the best bet. [/QUOTE]
