2 Yu and yur crew were part f a small survey vessel in a fleet f ships sent ut past the edge f the knwn galaxy. An unknwn frce destryed the fleet while yu were investigating what turned ut t be an unremarkable mn. Withut the main line ships, yu have limited fuel and pr astrgatin charts. Yur crew lks t yu fr their rders and yu decide t try and limp back t the last knwn space statin the fleet left frm. Resurces Yur main bjective is fr yu and yur crew t survive and get back t a civilizatin yu recgnize. T d that, yu have resurces that are vital t accmplishing yur gals. Each time yu use a resurce, yu rll the die indicated. If the rll is a 1 (ne), the die depletes t a smaller die. A D20 becmes a D12 then a D10, D8, D6 and finally a D4. Once a ne is rlled n the D4 that resurce is used up. Dangerus mves deplete n the rll f a 1 r 2. This includes rlls fr hazards because f the mve. Captain Creatin Start by rlling D8 fr the Captain s time in academy. If yu rll a ne, the time die depletes. Fr each rll yu can take ne skill pint in ne f the skills. Yu want as many skills ver a five as pssible. This may mean sme skills being very lw if the time die depletes quickly but try t have at least ne n each. All skills are imprtant but the skills are listed in the rder they are mst used. Cmmand Navigatin Astrnmy Engineering Pilting Fighting

3 Skills and Success Higher skills make yur mves mre likely t succeed. When yu rll a die, if the rll is equal r less than yur skill it is a success. A rll f the highest number n the current die is always a failure. Sme rlls d nt require a skill. These rlls are there just t see if the die depletes. Success r failure is nt imprtant. If any result requires yu t rll against a resurce yu d nt have, r d nt want t rll against, take ff ne skill pint frm a skill f yur chice and cunt it as a failure r take ff 5 skill pints and cunt it as a success.
