Ashen Stars

A gritty space opera roleplaying game set in the Bleed, a remote sector left behind after the Combine’s retreat. Players take the roles of Lasers, freelance troubleshooters and law enforcers who investigate mysteries, resolve difficult problems, and explore strange corners of space on contract. They balance immediate payment against maintaining their reputation, while covering the upkeep of their ship and cyber- and viroware enhancements.
