Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Jovian Chronicles is a tabletop RPG put out by Dream Pod 9. Set in the 23rd century, its primary metaplot revolves around the start up and ongoing war between the Jovian Confederation and the Central Earth Government and Administration (CEGA). It's very much a western take on the Gundam style of mecha anime.The game is notable in that, despite being touted as an anime-style setting, the setting maintains a very firm hold on real-world physics. Fuel is expended when you fire thrusters, the only artificial gravity is gained through rotation or thrust, and so on. Also notable for its Grey-and-Gray Morality - no one group in the solar system is without blood on their hands.The big players in this universe are: The Jovian Confederation, who are arguably the good guys in the entirety of this mess; The Central Earth Government and Administration (CEGA, pronounced like the game company), a somewhat more despotic republic and the "villain" of the piece; and finally, The Venusian Bank, wholesale owner of the planet Venus, its residents, and Man Behind the Man to many of the key players in the setting.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })And that's not getting into the minor powers and their squabbles.Has been published for three separate rulesets: Mekton, BESM d20, and DP9's own Silhouette rules.And, has two sister games (both of which exploit the minis game/RPG bifecta), Heavy Gear (smaller gears, ground-based, more distant future) and Gear Krieg (Alternate Universe World War II). | |

Artificial Gravity | |
| Jovian Chronicles (Tabletop Game) / int_ae69516f | comment |
Artificial Gravity: Mostly maintained by thrust on shorter ranged ships. Longer ranged vessels such as the Jovian Confederation's Alexander, Forge, and Valiant class and CEGA's Poseidon have rotating habitat wheels or revolving spokes that create rotational gravity. Venusian vessels actually rotate the entire ship to simulate gravity. | |

Attack Drone | |
| Jovian Chronicles (Tabletop Game) / int_fb9afaab | comment |
Attack Drone: Utilized primarily by the Venusian forces. Not particularly durable, but they tend to be very fast and always in numbers. The Lucifer class terror drone is a frightening example. Basically X-9 Ghost about the size of a space shuttle designed for independent commerce raiding. Faster than all but the fastest of exos and packing immensely powerful particle cannons it easily qualifies as a Lightning Bruiser. | |
