First of all, I would like to give my thanks
to
+Manuel “ManuFS” Sambs He made one kick ass cover for me to use!
Really appreciative of all the effort and time that went
into this! Love it!
Now, on to setting rules.
These setting rules are new, and have not been really
tested that much yet, so if anyone decides to use these, please feel free to
comment on them.
Setting Special Rules:
Jokers Wild
Character Creation:
Follow the normal creation rules for Savage Worlds when
creating a human player. 15 Points for skills, 5 points for attributes and 1
free edge.
Characters may then choose to have a colonial MOC class
they would like to focus on. Each class must have the required skills purchased
out of your starting skill points. Anything not an MOC would be a civilian, and would
be up to the discretion of the GM to allow in that point of the campaign.

Skill/Edge Notes
Black Market: This person is able to wheel and deal with
looking for hard to find items when dealing with other departments/ships in the
fleet.
Dradius: Is a skill that allows you to be able to read
and understand your onboard ship sensors.
Electronic Warfare: This is a skill which will allow you
to engage in spoofing, jamming and counter jamming enemy signals/missiles etc.
Pilot - Capital Ships: Same as piloting, but for larger
ships which involves crews larger then 10.
Astrogation: Want to do a FTL jump into the middle of a
sun? No? then have this skill!
Edges:
Evasion: Novice, Agility D6, Pilot D8
Like going full defense during a melee combat, this edge
allows a pilot to attempt to make a piloting roll of a star ship to add +1
to his To hit number to avoid being hit. On a raise you get +2. This counts as
his action and lasts until his next turn. Also, this +1(+2 with a raise) bonus
is added to your total piloting roll to avoid a missile lock
Evasion, Enhanced: Seasoned. Evasion. Pilot D10
As Evasion, but adds +2 to his To hit number to avoid
being hit. A raise gives you +3 total.
Officer Rank: To be a pilot, you need to have an officer
rank. Starting rank for Pilots and Bridge Officers are Ensign
Cylon Special Rules
Cylon Raiders: (Optional)
Raiders often fly in groups. For game purpose when Cylon
Raiders are in a combat they can be grouped together to receive special
benefits while in groups of 2 or 4. While in groups of 4, only 1 Cylon in
the group attacks, but gets a +2 to hit and +1d6 damage (which can ace) . When there is
either 2 or 3 in a group, that bonus is then reduced to +1 to hit and
+2 damage. This rule is for the intent of speeding up space combat.
Cylon Sleeper Agent: (Optional)
When a new character is introduced into a campaign, that
character roles 1d100 secretly into the tower. On a role of 95-100, that
character is secretly designated by the GM as a sleeper agent. At the start of
every game session, the GM publicly draws a card, if the card is a joker, the
GM may inform, any or all of the sleeper agents of their activation. The GM can
assign special mission or objectives for them to complete until they are
ultimately caught. (This rule is intended for serious role playing groups.)
This is also to add tension to the group.
The Twelve Colonies
I really liked the idea of getting special free bonus
from being a member of a particular colony (Inspired by John Brown and Rick
Petersen in their version of Savage Battlestar) So I have adopted a similar
approach. When you select a colony, you get the free listed bonus, If you pick
one with a Hinderance, you may add the value of that hindrance as a bonus to
character creation for free.
