High Colonies

Set more than two centuries after nuclear and biological warfare devastates Earth, this role-playing game depicts humanity scattered across planets, moons, and space stations throughout the Solar System. Colonies struggle with scarce resources, hostile environments, authoritarian rulers, extremists, pirates, and rival factions. Players portray people living among these isolated settlements, navigating political conflicts, dangerous trade routes, technological consequences, and the demands of survival. Its hard science-fiction setting emphasizes realistic technology, meaningful consequences, and combat as a dangerous and consequential part of life in space.
