Game Setup

Pick a Job / generate randomly.
Set up board (max 24"×24" recommended).
Determine Conditions & if oxygen is present.
Roll to determine who places first; deploy models.
Roll Initiative (d20). Highest picks first activation.

Deployment

Space station/ship: Start in airlock — doors open Round 1. Exit only via airlocks.
Planet: 2" band along one board edge.

Round Structure

Determine Initiative (d20 roll-off).
Players alternate activating one model each.
Activate Hostiles (all, randomised order).
End of Round — check ongoing effects.

Activation & Actions

On activation: Move then Action (Move must come first). Triggered effects resolve at activation start, before Move.

Movement

Normal: AGI+5 inches in any direction.
Climb: ½ Movement; must end on flat surface.
Jump ≤3": DR12 Agility test — fail = 1 dmg/inch fallen; fumble = also gain Injury.
Vac Suit: spend 1 Oxygen for extra free Move once/Round.

Actions (pick one)

Ranged Attack
Melee Attack
Use Equipment or Skill
Pick up / drop Items within 1" (any number)
Interact with Salvage / Job item within 1"
Second Move
Repair something
Hack something

Performing an Action ends the activation.

Core Dice Rules

Roll	Rule
Standard test	d20 + modifiers ≥ 12 = success (DR12).
Fumble	Natural 1 = always fail + gain 1 Stress.
Critical	Natural 20 = always success. Criticals deal max damage; also breach Vac Suit. Triggers Morale test on target.
Modifiers	Stats + Skills + Flaws + Weapon keywords. All stack.
AF(X)	Roll X dice, take best. Rolling any 1 still Fumbles.

Stress

Gain Stress when: rolling a 1 · first time seeing a Monster · Vac Suit breached · friendly Downed within 6".
If Stress > Max (PRE+5): −1 per point over max on all tests.
Stress does not reset between Jobs (costs 5 XP to clear).

Morale Test (Presence DR12)

Triggered by: Critical Hit received; striking a Downed enemy.
Fail = +2 Stress. Fumble = flee (max Move toward nearest edge every Round until passing or off table).
Hostile Morale: roll 2d6 vs Morale value on Critical Hit — if result > Morale, hostile flees.

Combat Resolution

Melee Attack (within 1")

Pick weapon → roll DR12 + stat modifier (STR or AGI per weapon).
Target may attack back simultaneously at −3. (Negated if another friendly is also within 1" of attacker.)
Both sides roll damage on successful hits.
Fumble = drop weapon.

Ranged Attack (max 12", need LoS)

Roll DR12 + PRE (or weapon stat mod).
Spend 1 Ammo on each attempt.
On success, roll weapon damage.
No ranged attack if model is in Melee combat (−3 to hit if targeting into Melee).

Modifiers

Condition	Modifier
Target in cover (any obscuring)	−3 to hit
Shooting into melee (attacker in melee)	Cannot
Targeting into melee	−3 to hit
Throw weapon up to 6"	−3 to hit
Ranged weapon used in melee	Counts as 1H Makeshift
Zero-G hit, no Zero-G skill	Pushed back 1"

Damage

Roll weapon damage dice → subtract target's Armour → reduce target HP.
Critical = max damage (Armour still applies; Vac Suit breached).
Armour always reduces damage unless a rule says otherwise.
Fists = 1 HP damage (no armour modifier).

HP, Casualties & Injuries

HP States

Breach = 1"×1" gap; entire map loses oxygen.
Within 3" when breach occurs: STR DR12 or pulled 1" toward breach. If reaching breach: AGI DR12 or sucked into space (Downed for Job).
