An Epic Science Fiction Roleplaying Setting From the introduction: Within the Million Sun Empire sits a desert world orbiting a sentient star: god-himself-the Godstar. Pilgrims flock to it with their offerings. The Godstar's oracles gives out advice, formulae, prognostications and strategy. It is a holy world. But war forced industrialisation on the planet Aurelia, causing social tension and conflict. A new noble house, House Pelinor, has been granted the fiefdom of Aurelia, but it has many enemies: the local Utani Sand Men, the priests of the Church of the Godstar, the rival House Arakan that it deposed, local crimelords and even the Skygazers, those wandering mystics who claim to speak with the Godstar as they meditate whilst staring up at the blazing disc. They have paranormal powers. Uses the Cepheus Engine rules, 70+ pages, well illustrated, with maps, factions, desert survival rules and gameplay advice. Use it as an alternate setting where personal shields have rendered guns obsolete and brought back duelling and sword combat OR use Godstar as a standard TL 13 world that can be dropped into any CE or Classic 2D6 SF subsector with ease. "I am against my brother. My brother and I are against our cousin. My brother, my cousin and I are against our neighbours. All of us are against those who come from off-world." - Utani Proverb
