So Pulonis has won their independence. Good for them. It's about time, but it seems like something that would've been a result of diplomatic, cultural, and economic efforts by the Pact Worlds and other interstellar powers as part of the Veskarium "maturing" into a more enlightened culture... And less of a massive regime based on conquest and slave labor... As opposed to independence won in a successful martial planet wide revolt followed by immediate recognition by the Pact Worlds government, all off camera.

I'm glad that the usually slow Pact Worlds petition system made the ethically responsible choice, but it was an astonishingly risky decision. Officially recognizing not just a Veskarium world, but one smack dab in the middle of the Vesk home system, as a pact world could very easily end the PW/Vesk alliance for good and resulted in full scale Veskarium retaliatory invasion.
But fortunately that didn't happen. Also, I'm hoping that eventual "Long and Noodle-y Pathra" Ancestry trait will be available at some point, representing the weird low gravity world proportions of the SF1 Pathra illustrations. Especially the one with the microphone in Interstellar Species. Lol


Also, what Playtest classes don't already have martial weapon training other than Mystic? Witchwarper? And it feels to me like Androids get stuck with the bulk of the responsibility to do anything remotely technology based on the absence of a Mechanic class and the elimination of the Operative 's rogue-y array of many trained skills.


One relevant Infosphere tidbit to remember is that Infosphere data traffic is quicker than hitting the bricks and schmoozing with some locals as long as the information you're searching for exists in your star system's local Infosphere. For interstellar data transmission, that takes much longer. How long? Let's just go with "longer", the details are vague but drift travel related.

That said, it DOES prevent PCs from beginning sthe investigation stage of of a SFS mission itting on their couch rather than starting once they reach their destination. Y'know, exploring lol


I think I'm missing something with the second batch of errata. Their reference to the Sharp Teeth ancestry trait supposedly on page 44? I'm not seeing it at all. Is it an addition? Or do I have an early run hardcopy or something?

Joro. Joro Morphogen. My apologies.


Looking forward to this especially. But yeeeeesh, I hope the placeholder cover is ENTIRELY unrelated.

I'm honestly shocked that there is no Playable Race: Juro boon as a reward for the adventure.
