This is an adventure roleplaying game designed for quick one-shots of high action and fast combat. Players will take on the roles of Specialists in a Fireteam of the Interplanetary Combine, a government body in constant conflict with the universe.

Threats to the Combine come in all shapes and sizes; insurrection, terrorism, and strange, alien threats that the Combine struggle to deal with. On top of all this they are fighting an ongoing war with the Gene League Separatists, a huge collection of worlds that see the Combine as a threat to their ‘freedom’ and individuality, as well as seeing the rest of the non-augmented human race as inferior. They feel they are fighting a war for the purity of their genetically superior species and their independence, and worlds and star systems continually change hands with the borders shifting every few months. It’s becoming more than the Combine can handle.

INCLUDES:

- Simple character creation and progress, with just a few minutes for a full combat team to get statted and ready, and more than suitable for one-shots and campaigns.

- Fast, easily modded rules that can be used with most science fiction setting, including rules for vehicles and starships; in fact, the character creation and rules are only 8 pages long, so you can get straight into the action in one sitting! 

- A single-page setting to get you started, and five adventures that fill out the galaxy and cover everything from tactical strikes, secret missions and assaults, to starship battles, boarding actions and all-out war!    

- Can be used as 'Theatre of the Mind' or on a grid battlemat, so you can use your favourite minis.

- Easily adaptable to your favourite military science fiction setting, with lots of room for new rules, stats and expansion.  

If there’s a problem, and if every other route to a resolution has tried and failed, then it’s time to call a Fireteam.

How well suited are the rules for the Star Wars universe Empire vs Rebellion?

They should work fine - the rules are designed to be favourable to the PCs so they can be great big heroes, and the vehivle/starship rules can be easily modded to suit starfighters and the like.

As for the Force, an opposed roll between between the Force user's CONTROL stat and whatever stat they're trying to use it against shoukd work, with a standard CONTROL roll for general use.

The rules are so simple it shouldn't be too hard to mod it.

Note: I've recently added the OGL to the book as well as a full-page character sheet, and I've added the character sheet as a PDF for ease of printing as well as two Hi5 System logos for use with any OGL products.

Which parts of the game are Open Content (e.g. text, maps, art)?

The Product Identification statement makes clear that the phrases 'The Hi5 System' and 'FIRETEAM - Rules Light Military Science Fiction Roleplaying Game' are *not* Open Content. But there doesn't seem to be a statement defining what *is* Open Content.

It's the Hi5 System that's OGL - I'll make it clearer, thanks for pointing that out.

Since the issues with the OGL a couple of months ago I've decided not to use it - it's covered under a CC license, instead, you'll find the details on this page.

I received an email saying there was a new minis game, but I don't see it.

Never mind, I read it as MINIS not MINI.

No problem - I'll amend that, I can see why it could be misleading! :)

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format
These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
