From publisher blurb: Gun for Hire Not all travellers across the endless light years of the Confederacy are heroes and diplomats. The Mercenary is a new class for Starships & Spacemen, 2nd Edition that gives you the opportunity to pit your player characters against bounty hunters, trained commandos and space pirates - or even turn your S&S game on it's ear by taking up the role of one of these cut throats as a player character!
