Orbital 2100 Third Edition

Cepheus Universal Setting by Zozer Games

Orbital 2100 is a science fiction setting for Cepheus Universal and other Classic 2D6 SF games.

Experience the danger of spaceflight across our own solar system: radiation, solar flares, zero-G muscle wastage, explosive decompression – there are plenty of ways to die out here.

Colonisation and settlement is driven by an intense rivalry. The Earth is locked in a Cold War with the people of Luna. Both face off, 400,000 km apart, threatening mutual annihilation whilst they compete to colonise the moons of Jupiter and Saturn. Older colonies like Mars and Mercury are independent and caught up in this struggle for solar system supremacy.

Various campaign types are presented: from spacecrews, to star cops, asteroid miners to secret agents. Whatever you decide to do, you cannot escape the Cold War, the espionage and the secret agendas of the major powers.
