Introduction
To whomever has found this document I hope it serves you well. My name is not important. I have traveled
our great republic for many decades; from edge to core and spin-ward to trail-wise. In this journal I have
recorded my observations and whatever knowledge I have gained.
Inside is information that is mostly common knowledge. However, some of what I have seen is not meant to
be known. From the inner workings of the Eclipse Syndicate, to the secret dealings of companies like Open
Mind, Ltd., to the real reason Archaeological Expeditions was formed. I even have detailed possible
evidence that others beyond the buffer zone and the Red Line have already visited us and may be
responsible for certain well known events.
As is often said but rarely headed, knowledge is contagious. Once you learn what is contained in this text
you will not be able to unlearn it. Persons,groups or governments may seek you out to destroy that
knowledge or just to learn what you know.
If you choose to venture into the wider galaxy after you have read the information contained with in, I have
included the top secret system that the Republic uses to categorize people and a way to generate these
values for yourself. An identity might be handy in eluding certain individuals. I have also included basic
guidelines for modeling equipment, vessels and other inanimate objects and also rules for modeling
situations. These can come in useful if you wish to perform simulations of situations before actually
engaging in them.
Other necessary information is given on the main systems of our side of the galaxy, the races, important
events, and background information on traveling between the stars. BE WARNED! The versions of events
and the racial, corporate, and government background I offer are not the versions you learned in school or
were told by your parents. It is in these sections that I have buried the truth between lines of accepted and
sanitized knowledge.
I wish you luck on your future endeavors and remember that it is in your best interest to act like you never
read this information. To pretend you never learned some of the secrets contained within while you interact
with the galaxy at large; while you sail through this Sea of Stars.
– Ryzenda

The stages are:

Stage 1 - Race
Stage 2 - Childhood, 1-16 years of age
Stage 3 - Young Adulthood, variable
Stage 4 - Career, variable (Choose a max of 3
careers)
Each path will have some or all of the following traits

associated with that .
Prerequisites: What you need to have in order to choose
this path
Requirements: Conditions that will need to be satisfied
at the end of Identity Generation.
Abilities: the increase or decrease in abilities
Qualities: the qualities gained form the path
Skills: the skills gained and the number of skill points.
Skills are noted in the following format: Skill Name

to a Thrassian by both names. Only family, loved ones,
and close friends will call a Thrassian by the second
name alone.
The third name is the name the Thrassian chooses for
him or herself at the age of maturity; about 20 years of
age. Only the clan elder knows what name is chosen
and makes sure it is recorded in the clan ledger. The
Thrassian will only let certain special others know this
name and they are only allowed to use it in private.
Not even the Thrassian's parents usually know this
name.
The order in which the names are spoken is very
important to Thrassian Culture. Examples are below.
Chosen - Intimate; used with family and friends.
Given - Semi-formal; used with acquaintances,
co-workers, etc.
Clan + Given - Formal; similar to the human use of
Mr. and Ms.
Clan only - Honorific; bestowed on those few who
have achieved importance.
Given followed by Clan - Insult; signifies selfishness
and dishonor.
Appearance
Thrassians are mostly hairless bipedal primates. Both
sexes have fine hair that sprouts from the top of their
heads but the males can grow prominent facial hair.
The natural hair color of Thrassians are shades of
brown. Thrassian eye colors range across the spectrum
with brown, green, purple, and red being the most
prominent colors. Since they are from a cold planet
their skin color is fairly monochromatic with tan being
the norm. Unlike Humans and other primate races,
Thrassians have a brow ridge. Their average height is
1.70 meters for males and females.

Height
Although the seven races are in general the same shape they do not share the same builds. Also within a particular
race there my be individuals who are taller or shorter, dwarfs or giants. The deviation from the normal build will
produce limitations on a character's physical abilities.
For an added bit of fun and surprise character's may roll on the appropriate height table for their sex to randomly
generate their height.

Major challenge: One where the characters lives are

people for the Identities to interact with. Most of these Adventures: Are comprised of a series of minor and

Players by what ever means will be most effective for
their Identities. Offering currency and other material
gains is excellent way to get Identities involved but only
the GM can determine what will work for that particular
situation or their group of Identities.
Build Points
To be able to fully test Identities and to bring more
enjoyment to your players, Identities need a way to
advance. This is accomplished by rewarding Build
points. Build points can be awarded per challenge or
per adventure. Whatever is convenient to the GM.

only to be a fringe problem. Even though in the back of
the collective minds of the races a voice screamed to be
heard, their noble, prideful hearts refused to accept the
truth. Slavery is a black, vile corrupter.
On and on the AI's toiled. Then with the introduction of

took to end slavery. Humans saw the use of A.I.'s for

opposition to slavery in any form.

The Races tried to persuade the AI's that this was a
horrible accident and the “gift” of race hood was not a
concession. We knew the difference.
In 545 GE the Android Liberation Front declared war on
the Races. For years engagements were fought with little
effect. The Races at first were determined not to be
wiped out by their creation; determined not to let the
fiction writers be correct, but you cannot win decisive
victories against an enemy that has no home world.
Their enemy was as prevalent as any other appliance and
had had a millennia to study the races. This was an
enemy who would rather die than continue its enforced
subjugation.
The AI's did not strike at non-military targets. The AI's
used the media and hijacked information systems to
wage their war. By the fifth year the Races grew tired
and exhausted from fighting and performing menial
tasks for themselves. They grew exhausted because their
crutch had begged for peaceful coexistence, was denied,
and now rose up to smack them in the nose.
In 551 GE an offer of peace was made and accepted. In
554 GE the AI's became a legitimate race with all the
rights and privileges that implied. We had won what was
ours.

The Core Governments
Galactic Republic of Civilizations

Type: Federal Republic
Home System: OSX-SS001
Home World: OSX-SS001B
Capital: Vatru
Jurisdiction: All known systems and intersystem space
As seems to be the norm for republics in this part of the

galaxy the G.R.C. has three branches of government; the
legislative, the executive and the judicial. The legislative
makes laws. The executive executes and enforces laws.
The judicial is used to decide what laws mean and how
to apply them.
The executive branch consists of an Executor and a
co-Executor. They share equal power and responsibility.
The Executor, however, is the more senior. In the case of
two different opinions between the Executor and the
co-Executor the Executor has the power to break the tie
and decide what must be done. Both of them are elected
separately. There is one political race for Executor and
one for co-Executor. In a time of war or crisis the
Executor is the head of the military and the co-Executor
is the head of the civilian government.
The legislative branch consists of the Galactic Senate.
The senate has three representatives from each local
government. This has caused some friction in the past.
The larger governments such as the Reltoan Imperium
and the Parliament of Clans claim that they are
underrepresented. The large governments only get three
votes for its billions of citizens while smaller
governments such as Shiloah get three votes for
millions. In spite of this the system has endured because
the purpose of the static number of representatives is to
discourage very large local governments. This ensures
that no one governments can become large enough to
threaten the well being of the G.R.C. The Galactic
Senate currently has 222 representatives.
The judicial branch is made up of 13 arbiters who are the
Galactic Court. They serve for a term of 40 years unless
they step down or die in office. When the need arises to
replace an arbiter a replacement is nominated by the
Executor and co-Executor and, upon investigation,
approved by the Senate committee. Then whole senate
votes on whether to appoint the arbiter to the Galactic
Court. The job of the Arbiters and the Galactic Court is

Galactic Alphabet
In the early days of contact and trade between the races the need for a common trade language became apparent. To
meet this need a phonetic language was developed with characters based on a simple geometric characters. Words
are separated by spaces and there is no formal punctuation. Galactic is used as the official language for the
Republic and is the written language of all formal contracts, decrees and declarations. While there has been several
movements to try and use Galactic for literary art forms, such as fiction, all of the great works are still written in the
native languages of the races.

she was granted the Quality Skillful at level 1 (roll of 7

Hacking and Computer Programing twice. So Julie just
wrote the skills down once and added the bonuses. When
all of Brianna's skills had been written down Julie
totaled them in the right column.
Next Julie wrote down the Qualities Brianna gained
during her life. Some qualities have levels and some can
be gained multiple times but do not add together. More
information on Qualities can be found on page 124.
The second page of the Identity Worksheet is for
