The Settled Systems
The Settled Systems stretch across twenty-seven star systems, only nine officially under a formal government — a hundred years of colonization, three major stellar governments, several factions, and one alien mystery, and no shortage of people willing to kill you over it.
You play as one of a thousand colonists who signed up at the behest of a child prodigy in Cryogenics who hasn't solved the 'de-freezing problem' but has promised to do so — and you don't have many options, as it's 2152, the planet has at best 50 years, and things are getting downright terrifying on Earth.
You might not be the best of the best, but you were definitely selected for a reason — a small subsection thought to be possibly the only humans who might survive to rebuild.
Starfield: Relics uses The Expanse RPG system to capture the hard science fiction tone of the Settled Systems — gritty, grounded, and politically charged. Every roll carries weight. The cosmos is large and largely indifferent.
Sessions will run live on FoundryVTT and stream on Twitch. All seats are open — no prior Starfield knowledge required, just a hunger for space exploration.
