• Rules for creating and playing with vehicles, from pirate ships to star ships to ten story tall battle mechs.
• Support for non-human races or even transhuman characters.
• A system for creating and controlling units and organizations, and using them to play out regional or world spanning conflicts.
• Antagonists and equipment to challenge and aid your characters, whether they're knights, modern soldiers, or star hopping androids.
