The setting and ideas of the Starship Game are system-independent, and can likely be adapted to most TTRPG systems. As I’m personally a fan of Fate Accelerated, my thoughts on how the game might be played in that system are presented here. The rules for Fate Accelerated can be found at fate-srd.com and are freely available. Character Creation Reference: Who Do You Want To Be?, Fate Accelerated SRD The basic process of defining a character through aspects and approaches is largely unchanged.

So you've read a little about the Commonwealth, and now you're wondering: what does being a Starship actually mean? As noted previously, the centre of your being is your Intelligence Core, but what this actually is depends on which culture gave you form. Machine Intelligence Intelligence Cores built from human-derived technology are AIs in the truest sense. Terran and Querral Starships are driven by a powerful quantum computer, granted the gift of sapience by the power of mathematics.

A Note From the Admiral Welcome to the 3rd Fleet. You are reading this either because you have been assigned here for your current tour with the Commonwealth Navy, or have been seconded to us as an auxiliary. In either case, we are proud to have you with us. The 3rd Fleet is the youngest and the smallest division of the Navy. Some think that places us in a lesser position, but those people are mistaken.

If you’ve known me for more than a couple of years, you know that I keep coming back to a sci-fi TTRPG idea in which you play as a starship AI. The setting and rules have gone through many iterations and never been really finished. Today I decided to update them to use the Fate Accelerated system, because I’ve had some fun GMing that since my last pass over this.
