Sector Map: Aegean Verge

Welcome to the year 3200, spacer. You are a citizen of the Aegean Verge, and specifically the Aegeus System, where you work as a crewman on a traveling free merchant. Your days as an ordinary tramp merchant trawling the ice-hauling routes between Mycenae and Olympus are coming to a close, as you’ve been given an opportunity that will bring you to the fringes of the Verge and along the edges of the most dangerous political situation in the sector, a localized conflict between the worlds of Carolingia and Merovingia that could become the sector’s first interplanetary war in over a hundred years.

The system is Stars Without Number (SWN), a phenomenal, entirely free tabletop RPG you can download right here. The overarching setting is described in great depth in the SWN sourcebook, but the particular sector that we will be playing in is one of my own design, the Aegean Verge, which you can take a look at here.

The characters are the crew of an independent spaceship ala the Millennium Falcon, the Serenity, or the Rocinante of Star Wars, Firefly, and The Expanse fame, respectively. What you and your fellow crewmembers do with that ship is almost entirely up to you. SWN is a very sandbox-oriented game. I will, of course, be providing you with plot hooks and adventures to engage in, but the world is an open one, and you and your crew are free to make your fortune among the stars of the Aegean Verge.

Character Creation will conform to the guidelines of the SWN Revised rules. For a quick guide to the Aegeus System, which may be helpful in determining who your character is and what they’re doing in the world, please consider the following descriptions of some of your potential homeworlds. Come join us on Discord, linked above, to discuss the game further.
