From the RPG description here on RPGGeek: Subtitled: 'Tis Not Another Space Opera Shebang is a sci-fi RPG set approximately 1,000 years in future. The world is a different place. In fact, for all intents and purposes, the world is gone. Humans have settled on Mars and the fourth rock from the Sun is the new home world. The old civilization of "science and idealism" collapsed centuries ago. In its place is an iron clad technocracy. The utopian dreams of the free-thinkers were warped by corruption and finally crushed by those who just didn't give a damn.
