I am the author of Outer Veil, a whole new campaign setting for the Mongoose Traveller RPG. It is a near-Earth, near-future setting with relatively "hard" ("realistic") science with a feel comparable to that of Alien(s), Outland, Kim Stanley Robinson's Mars Trilogy and the earlier books in the timeline of Larry Niven's Known Space. You may check it out here: http://rpg.drivethrustuff.com/product_info.php?products_id=96124 As the proud author of this work, I've decided to set a wargame campaign in this fluff as well. While no living sentient aliens have been found so far, pirates, terrorists, Secessionists, corporate mercs and hostile wildlife abound - so the FNH (Federated Nations of Humanity) Marine Corps, Justice Commission and Planetary Armies have their hands full. The factions I have in mind are: FNH Marine Corps - Rebel Minis EarthForce Marines FNH Planetary Army (from a rich Core planet) - Khurasan Federal Army FNH Justice Commission Agents - ??? Colonial Militia - Khurasan Sepuldevan Resistance Secessionists - Rebel Minis Armed Gunmen and Rebel Minis Sahadeen Colonists - GZG Armed and Unarmed Colonists, CMG ARC Fleet Recon Bandits - 15mm.co.uk Cultists Low-grade Mercs - 15mm.co.uk Rim Mercs and Post-Apocalyptic Survivors High-Grade Mercs - CMG ARC Fleet, Eureka Sci-Fi Germans, Rebel Minis Titan Marines Corporate Security - Rebel Minis Force-9 Pirates - GZG Ravagers, should also have a vacc suited version Bezerk Robots - GZG and 15mm.co.uk robots Cyborgs - 15mm.co.uk SHM range cyborgs Xenomorphs - ??? I am looking for something more exotic than Khurasans Space Demons (but I'll settle with the Space Demons if other options won't be available) The settings I have in mind are: Earthlike planet (regular temperate/jungle terrain with some alien plants) Marginal Planet (desert or tundra terrain) Dustball (Mars terrain) Rockball (Lunar terrain) Space Station/Starship (interior terrain) |

Sounds a good start Golan! I too am not a fan of Aliens in my Sci-Fi. One background I love is the Firefly/Serenity one for that reason. |

No need for too many living sentient aliens if there is enough human strife around.
