Vacuum

THE IMMORTAL EMPIRE MAY BE DEAD, BUT YOU STILL GOTTA EAT

Inspired by science fiction like Firefly and The Expanse, Vacuum is a game about the hard-working ships on the edge of a dangerous universe and the crews that bicker, love, and serve within them.

With nine archetypes to play and hundreds of option no two crews are alike. Is your Captain dashing, dutiful, daring, or all three? Is your engineer the heart and soul of the ship, or one busted compression coil away from venting the oxygen? Play frontier sawbones and coreworld surgeons, gun-loving mercenaries and accountants that are way out of their depth. A train heist is one thing, but keeping a crew together on the fringes of space? That takes patience, love, and the occasional airlock accident.

Build a ship from the ground up! Choose from a selection of useful qualities, invaluable technologies, and those issues that it wouldn't feel like home without. Your ship's design and role is intentionally left up to you. Are you a mining crew in a giant space drill? A team of con-artists in a stolen yacht? Criminals who stole the prison transport, or defenders of a frontier system in a loveable box of bolts? Making your home amidst the stars is certainly going to be easier than keeping it flying.

Hire a crew, stick together, and get paid. It's all that's left.

Vacuum is in development, and although perfectly playable in its current state this is not the end!
Vacuum is Powered by the Apocalypse, with great thanks given to Vincent and Meg Baker's stunning Apocalypse World. Addtional thanks given to the two shadowy figures who I consulted with whilst writing this game.
