OUT NOW! DEEP SPACE SOURCEBOOK #4 - THE CAPITAL STATES
OUT NOW!
DEEP SPACE SOURCEBOOK #4 - THE CAPITAL STATESThe Capital States contains 19 star systems in its territory, nearly all of which have habitable worlds and are within 75 light years of each other. It is one of the largest nations in explored space and, without doubt, one of the wealthiest, with very few planets in its borders below a Planetary Resource score of 8. Because of this, space traders and businesses flock to its banner in the hope of easy money.
One of the first nations to rise during the first exodus from Earth, the Capital States will do anything to hold onto the power and wealth they have built – and stolen – over the years.
DEEP SPACE SOURCEBOOK #4 - THE CAPITAL STATES is a 2-page book providing information and stats for the nation including key persons, military forces, starships, and the government system that keeps it's people happy... and controlled.

OUT NOW! DEEP SPACE SUPPLEMENT #5 - A SPACE TRADER'S LIFE
OUT NOW!
DEEP SPACE SUPPLEMENT #5 - A SPACE TRADER'S LIFEA 3-page supplement for the Deep Space roleplaying game.
“Life in the spaceways ain’t all zap-boom adventures or blast-crak excitement like the Buster Harris show, peoples. There’s serious business out there and if you can get the right ship, the right cargo and a half-decent crew, you can make a serious amount of Sterling amongst the stars.
Of course, you can always have a go at zap-boom and blast-crak stuff; there’s money to be made any which way.”
Cmdr. James Sonne of ‘The Daring Dan’
There’s a lot of planets out there and the Star System Generator in the core rulebook lets you create a multitude of random worlds. Each of these worlds has a score for Planetary Resources and the higher this is the more desirable a world is because of it’s natural resources. These scores also indicate how wealthy a planet is, so the higher the score the more money it generates as it ships it’s resources off-world. This is where Space Traders come in.
Using the Planetary Resources Score (PRS), they can work out how much money they can make from a successful trip to another world and what kind of cargo they can expect to find. But it all starts with a starship.
OUT NOW! DEEP SPACE ADVENTURE #12 - WING & PRAYER
OUT NOW!
DEEP SPACE ADVENTURE #12 - WING & PRAYERThe Explorers travel to the Paris Space Station in the Conglomerate to plant a nuclear explosive on to the Wing & Prayer, but somebody is trying to beat them to it.
PARIS SPACE STATION
There are many space stations across the star systems of the Conglomerate and they are primarily starship shipyards and dry-docks. Many have outlived their usefulness and been scrapped in favour of newer and more effective facilities and others, like Paris Space Station in the GOLF-CHARLIE-ORANGE system (ST1, Planets 2 – Gas Giant R8, Gas Giant R9), are coming to the end of their service.
At this time the station is almost empty save for a few functioning bays and some storage compartments. The traffic is almost nil and it seems very alone above the white and grey gas giant. This means a lot can happen... and nobody will know.
