Proteus Sector

A Stars Without Number setting gazetteer detailing eighteen troubled worlds shaped by the conflict between baseline humanity and the genetically engineered Augmented. The sector is divided among the zealots of the Pure Alliance, the uneasy survivors of the Protean Union, and the perfectionist Great Pact, whose cold war creates opportunities for smugglers, traders, and freebooters. The book includes planetary descriptions with adventure hooks and NPCs, campaign-starting guidance, smuggling and trade rules, the Augmented partial character class, ghost cyber systems, enemy statistics, and new starships, fittings, weapons, and defenses.
