Proteus Sector: A Gazetteer for Stars Without Number

by Sine Nomine Publishing

In Proteus Sector, the bitter memory of the Augmented scars a dozen worlds, worlds once in thrall to their eugenic might and their terrible dreams of a humanity more perfectly crafted for happiness. Against them, the believers of the Pure Alliance pray before the warship throne of their AI pope, pleading with God for the strength for one more blazing crusade against their half-human foes. On other worlds, the survivors of the Protean Union, baseline and Aug alike, struggle to find a way to live together in the shadow of a terrible past. And among the planets of the Great Pact, the inheritors of a merciless dream of perfection sculpt flesh and mind alike in service to a glorious future which they alone were born to rule.

Proteus Sector is a gazetteer of worlds for the Stars Without Number sci-fi RPG, a collection of blighted planets and troubled stars cursed by the struggle between baseline humanity and the eugenic dreams of the Augmented. The old tyranny of the New Dawn Movement was broken forty years ago, but their heirs in the Great Pact are preparing revenge against the zealots of the Pure Alliance and the hard-bitten survivors of the Protean Union. Amid this stellar cold war are possibilities that do not exist in more peaceful sectors, and this gazetteer will give a band of  daring freebooters all that they need to exploit them.

Within the pages of this gazetteer, you will find…

• Planetary descriptions of eighteen worlds, each with explicit adventure hooks and useful NPCs
• GM tools for building adventures in Proteus Sector, including a step-by-step guide for starting a campaign in this setting
• Quick smuggling and trade rules for GMs who want to give their players a mercantile way to get in deep trouble
• The Augmented partial character class, for genetically-boosted humans who possess fantastic abilities at the cost of a grave biological compromise in their geneline
• Mandate ghost cyber, a fearsome collection of near-magical cybernetic systems from the distant, glorious past, each bearing the restless imprint of its original user
• Protean foes, with statistics for some of the common enemies to be found among these stars
• Starships of the sector, with new example ships, starship fittings, weapons, and defenses for the spacecraft of Stars Without Number.

Whether for a GM keen to have more grist for their own campaign or for a player interested in new possibilities, Proteus Sector will give you tools to expand your stellar vistas. Wonders and horrors alike await within its pages, so seize them all for your own!
