Starguild: Adventures in the Underbelly

This is a supplement for Starguild: Space Opera Noir and requires those core rules.

Behind the clean and tidy facade of the Core worlds lies an open secret that nobody talks about. Living under the rule of tooth and claw, of criminal gangs and desperate holds where no official eye is watching, secrets are unfurling.

With a population desperate to escape and willing to take any chance to achieve personal power or win a better life for their families, illegal research into cybernetics and psionics is taking place. Funded mostly by barons and lords who are attempting something off the books, or cruel syndicates who just don’t care, organisations with an agenda are attempting to bend and break the laws of nature.

This supplement includes expanded rules for cybernetics and a variety of psionic powers, with calibration settings depending upon whether you like these elements to be gritty, noir or pulp – and the personal penalties which someone may bear for experimenting with them.

It also includes much more detail about the Cybercops, the Psicops, and enemy organisations such as Protocol-19 and Provolution. There is also a series of scalable NPC foes who have been dabbling in either of those forbidden areas.

Finally, you will find a short series of three linked adventures relating to a cybernetic threat and another three about a psionics conspiracy.
