Special Rules
Special Rules
Normal Savage Worlds house rules
Rocketeer Armor Armor 4, Min Str 4
Force Weapons Rocketeer weapons project a shimmering field of contained energy around a thin core. Take whatever normal melee weapon you want. Step up the damage die by 1 and add an additional 2 AP. A light force weapon (anything that is d4) is capable of deflecting projectiles - you have to beat their parry, not just a 4. You may only carry 1 force weapon.
Rocket Pack A small, back mounted device that allows a Rocketeer to fly for a short amount of time (about 300 feet, up 3-4 stories, can't hover). Rocket Packs aren't known for their maneuverability. If used in combat, a free Piloting roll is required otherwise using it is an action. A Rocket Pack has a run die of a d12 but requires a Piloting action - on a failure you can't take any other actions after the run (on a zone map, you can move to any zone).
Automated Healer This small nanotech device is a single-use device that can heal any numbers of wounds in about 5 minutes. You can only carry one at a time 'cuz science.
Healing: Advanced medical facilities can heal any number of wounds in about an hour. Golden Hour rules do not apply.
Guns As an enlightened culture. Gallia outlawed guns centuries ago. Even the government, with the exceptions of times of war, does not use them (hence the need for Rocketeers). While criminal elements will occasionally try to use them, the government of Gallia makes it very difficult and the users are harshly punished. The use of any other ranged weapon is beneath the Honor of a Gentleman.
Warp Drives: The science of bending space has been established for centuries now and can fit even on small spaceships. A light-year can be covered in 2 days. Trips between star systems take about a week.
Communication: While there is FTL travel, there is not yet FTL communication.
Tech-y Skills:
Common Knowledge: To use normal, everyday tech - Deploy the shields!
Electronics: To change or maximize how tech works - More power to the shields!
Repair: To make stuff - Let's give this craft some shields!
Thievery: For hacking. - I break into their systems and take down their shields!
The World at Large
Interstellar Imperia: One arm of a spiral galaxy has been heavily colonized by four great powers - Gallia, Britannica Solaria, Spenth, and The Holy Roman Stellar Empire. The four powers maneuver and scheme against one another in an effort to increase their power.
Gallia: Think France. Bastion of civilization for the last 1000 years, the height of sophistication in culture, art, dress, architecture. Le Capitale is the most beautiful city in known space. Home of the Rocketeers.
Britannica Solaria: Think Britain. Multiple colonies that united under a single flag only 100 years ago. A mostly aquatic homeworld with the people living on mountain tops due to wide tidal swings.
Holy Roman Stellar Empire: Think Germany. A military powerhouse of the 4 Imperia. Emperor Matthias XLII assumed power 3 years ago and hasn't stopped rattling sabers ever since, but the in-fighting among his Kingsprinz' have checked his ambition. Known for their heavily industrialized cities and extensive mining operations throughout their territory.
Spenth: Think Spain. The most expansive and populated of the 4 Imperia, famed for their exploration. Arastillan wine and racing sloops are highly prized.
The Church: Religion in Interstellar Imperia has almost completely consolidated under one organization known simply as The Church. Led by Star Pope Regulus IV, The Church has been less strict that it has in the past.
Queen Marie Helene
Queen Marie Helene
Aspects: Young Ruler trying to do Good
Assumed the throne of Gallia at the age of 7. Her regents have ruled for the last 11 years, doing a decent job but mostly enriching themselves in one way or another.

With Lenay's demotion, she currently has no regent.
Duchess Marquerite
Duchess Marquerite
Aspects: Better than my Half-Sister
Rival claimant. Half-sister of Queen Marie, a bastard of her Father King Phillip. Sister to Lonny, her disabled older brother who some say is the rightful heir.

Welcomed back to court for this.

They learn that some Spenthian wine was put in his carriage. Checking the video, they learn it was a red-headed woman. Enhance! finds a few matching subjects - one of the being Roxanne from the Baxter Affair. Which is strange since she's supposed to be in prison.
Going to the Bastile, they learn that a body double has been sent in Roxanne's place and that the woman has been at large the last 10 years. They manage to track down the surgeon who performed helped with the body double.

Episode 5: They do a fake transfer order for the Doctor to try and flush out Roxanne. It works and Roxanne is arrested. She tries convincing each PC in turn to let her out, but they all refuse.
