With only five systems, the Terra Φ cluster is a relatively small cluster, as far as we know. The only system with inter-system travel capabilities is [[Sephii]], which may well have reason to keep other systems secret.

=== Star systems ===

* [[Antares]], the debris-strewn desert system
* [[Deneb]] and its twin worlds
* [[Eridanus]], the elemental trichotomy
* [[Sephii]], the robot system
* [[Zash'ar]], the system shattered by industry

== Characters ==

Players are encouraged to use the [[:Template:Character sheet/Terra Phi | character sheet template ]] to create their pages. The template page includes instructions and an example of implementation.

== Game details ==

This game is being played as Diaspora, with some modifications borrowed from Dresden Files and other places.

=== House rules ===

* Characters are built with 5 phases as usual, but get one aspect per phase. In addition each character has a High Concept aspect and a Trouble aspect for a total of seven aspects per character. 
* Characters have 7 refresh, minus one per stunt. Refresh may not be reduced below one, so there is a theoretical maximum of six stunts.
* [[Terra Φ Skill list|Skill list]] is expanded from the Diaspora defaults to include Deceit, Empathy and Investigation.
* [[Terra Φ Stunts|Custom stunts]] added to reflect the uniqueness of the different systems and worlds in the cluster.
* [[utrpg:Diaspora/Variant slipknots|Variant slipknots]]: systems have an entry slipknot and an exit slipknot instead of two bidirectional slipknots.
