Mindjammer is a Science Fiction Tabletop RPG running on the rules set in the distant future New Commonality of Humankind. The game uses the Fate Core rules. A version using the Traveller rule set exists, too. The setting in general has been described as the established Traveller setting meets Eclipse Phase. There's also some Cordwainer Smith influence detectable in there.The backstory: ten thousand years ago Old Earth began to send out Generation Ships to colonize distant stars, followed by millennia of stagnation and decay. Two hundred years ago Earth discovered Planar drive, reinvented itself as the Commonality, and set out to spread civilization to its wayward colonies, with mixed results.A large part of it is the Mindscape, a network that people communicate through and upload memories into via implants, and kept up to date across interstellar distances with ships known as Mindjammers. | |

State Sec | |
Mindjammer (Tabletop Game) / int_2a3006e5 | comment |
State Sec: The Security and Cultural Integrity Instrumentality (SCI Force) has many elements of this. Tasked with protecting the Commonality from internal and external threats, it has its own military and space force. It mainly works to study and manipulate the cultures on rediscovered worlds, to make them more receptive to Commonality control. | |

Faster-Than-Light Travel | |
Mindjammer (Tabletop Game) / int_2af7961 | comment |
Faster-Than-Light Travel: 2-space travel is like hyperspace and enables speeds of three lightyears per day, but cannot be used for communication other than ships carrying messages. 3-space allows vessels to go three lightyears in one second, but can only be accessed through large and expensive Far Gates that have so far only been built in the Core Worlds and Sector capitals. | |

10,000 Years: Roughly how long it is since Old Earth started sending out Sleeper Starships to colonize distant stars. It's two centuries since Earth discovered the 2-space drive and began recontacting those colonies. | |

Matter Replicator: Makepoints actually do create matter. There are still constraints: Larger or more complex items take more time and energy to create, so there is still a need for normal resource extraction and manufacturing. Makepoints are most commonly used to provide oxygen, water, other basic life support needs. | |

Mindjammer (Tabletop Game) / int_9c45b5a2 | comment |
What Measure Is a Non-Human?: Before the Expansionary Era the Commonality treated xenomorphs as slaves while A.I.s had full rights. (Note that artificial intelligence is produced from the uploaded memories of deceased humans.) Things are starting to change since the Commonality assimilated some cultures that treated xenomorphs as equals, but laws vary from system to system. | |

Mordor: In the Venu sourcebook, a Commonality agent notes that the whole Orion Complex (The Venu home star systems) has such a sinister and strange feeling to it that he can't help thinking that there's some kind of malevolent force at work.

Mindjammer (Tabletop Game) / int_b2cdd776 | comment |
Bottomless Magazines: FATE usually advises players not to bother keeping track of ammo; the GM can declare that they've run out when it seems most dramatic. But in any case, in Mindjammer, most TL 9 projectile weapons have a small "Makepoint" that automatically regenerates spent ammo and energy weapons run on zip reactors, so characters really do have bottomless magazines. | |

Culture Police: This is a very basic summary of SCI Force. Given how much impact ideas can have within the Mindscape, SCI Force's job is to manage cultural conflict within the Commonality. They are more sympathetic than most examples in fiction because they don't intend to smother all cultural differences, but they do subtly alter them to make integration with the Commonality smoother and ensure a healthy diversity. | |

Expy | |
Mindjammer (Tabletop Game) / int_e5421161 | comment |
Expy: Between their undying God-Emperor, ramshackle technology which is as dangerous to its users as to its enemies which is maintained by "technopriests", psychic commissars, and legions of fanatical "Mutant Marines", the Venu aren't even a subtle reference to Warhammer 40,000. Fan opinions are somewhat divided on whether this is a tasteful little reference or some kind of anvilicious Take That! aimed at a far more popular setting, possibly with an ill-conceived political undertone. (The Alexandro Jodorowsky comic book universe also has "technopriests".) The answer is likely the former, what with an entire sourcebook dedicated to playing them and exploring their society having been released. The Cordwainer Smith influences sometimes turn into fairly clear expies. For example, the Custodians of the Commonality owe something to the Lords of the Instrumentality. | |

Shadow Dictator: Each Custodian is free to govern their sector however they see fit. Some rule in the open from palaces, others work in the shadows rarely appearing in public, if at all. | |

Democracy Is Bad | |
Mindjammer (Tabletop Game) / int_fa9cd4db | comment |
Democracy Is Bad: It's one of the memes that the Commonality bans in the Core Worlds. They prefer a "benevolent" oligarchy. | |

Brain Uploading | |
Mindjammer (Tabletop Game) / int_fc52510 | comment |
Brain Uploading: A character with a Mindscape implant can create a "thanogram" snapshot of their memories and personality. The process causes severe brain damage however, so it's generally only done by dying individuals, and it's generally accepted in the Core Worlds that an AI programmed from a thanogram, an "eidolon," is not the same person that produced those memories. There is, however, a meme plaguing many Rim worlds known as the "transmigration heresy" that considers eidolons to be reincarnations of their original. | |

Technology Uplift | |
Mindjammer (Tabletop Game) / int_fc9cd837 | comment |
Technology Uplift: The Commonality's preferred method of assimilating lost colonies, usually starting by installing a local Mindscape node. Though some planets are deemed "unacceptable" and quarantined for some time. They also have a habit of letting corporacies do most of the work. | |
