Tachyon squadron¶
Tachyon Squadron is a setting and expanded ruleset for Fate Core, where the players play the roles of space fighter pilots.
Rules¶
I tried to condense, systematize, and streamline the rules to teach them to players quickly. I also made some attempts at modifying them to make the game more engaging. I put that all together in the form of slideshows.

Worldbuilding¶
In the introductory session the PCs do a quick mission where they blow up an enemy capital ship. These newpapers were what they were supposed to find upon their return to the base and before the next session to introduce them to the political situation in the world. Sadly the game never lasted that long.
