A shorter player reference document for quick rule access.
An alternate 2020 setting in an O'Neill cylinder near Earth.
Descriptions of the many areas of Grand Cross, from the busy downtown Voyager Ward to the high-tech parkland of Mariposa to the Agriculture Ring that feeds the station.
Seven Occupations, including the Fixer, the Hacker, and the Influencer, along with a plethora of character options.
Over 100 detailed NPC descriptions, from corporate heavyweights to android crime lords to just regular citizens of an Earth-orbit city.
A flexible mission prep system that allows characters to adapt their plans on the fly without wasting their earlier efforts.
A wealth system that tracks the financial burdens placed on you by the capitalist system you live in.
A cybernetics system that doesn't dehumanize you for installing augments.
A lot of great art from a lot of great artists.
