SPECTER - 10K80 Universe

Specter is a role-playing game taking place in the far future, in a galaxy far away, where humankind is rising from the ashes of a terrible tragedy. It is a game of survival in a sprawling universe full of wonders to explore. If you can imagine a world were energy itself has been mastered and you can pull a spaceship out of your pocket, get ready to blast off!

10K80 (year 10080) is a sprawling universe spread across a galaxy far removed from our own in a time far from now. To keep it relatable though, it extends a lot of the base scifi concepts of the seventies and eighties. The information here is purposefully incomplete and it meant to be stubs to inspire players to breath life in to their own version of this wondrous place.

Introduction

“Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.” - Arthur C. Clarke link

Over thousands of years humankind spread life across the myriad worlds of their galaxy. Once they perfected Lite, an energy source they could merge with their very own substance they attained a new level of technology once only dreamed of in the most fevered mind. Nigh immortal, indestructible (by our limited standards), and able to use fully disposable items of immense power, their culture ran across known space. In this time before, things were good. But like all things, it came to an abrupt end. The Hyperion humans developed the Nexus and it was their undoing. Looking for a source of even more energy to attain an even higher level of existence, they created their own Hypergiant Star and called it Nexus. At this moment, around the star, a rift formed and let in Life Crystal from another dimension. Drawn to Lite, and driven to consume it, Life Crystal destroyed almost all of humankind and their domain. Very few the billions of humankind survived, protected by an advanced Spirit known as Aegis. Over the years Aegis was consumed by Life Crystal and Specter was born. Neither Life Crystal or Spirit anymore, but something greater, Specter has now turned its eye to the galaxy and begun to awake long dormant humankind. With the ability to cloak Lite from Life Crystal, these few remaining of humankind now step into a new realm, very different from what they left behind… a galaxy filled with danger and wonder.
