Though uncommon, it is possible to jury-rig a centrifugal habitat by linking modules and rotating them around a center of mass. These structures tend to be unstable and less-than-ideal, as the modules are not designed for this purpose, but it is a cheap option for Belters and brinkers who need spin gravity and have limited options.

If the event you must interact with ancient technology — perhaps even a still-functioning alien relic — the adaptive interface features smart-material connectors that can connect to almost any conceivable piece of technology. It is also equipped with nano-probe sensors that can analyze the device’s structure and map out its internal functions. The interface’s ALI is equipped with Know: Computer Science, Know: Electrical Engineering, Know: Xenodata, and Interface skills at 60, as well as Infosec and Program at 40. Connecting to and analyzing relics is a task action with a timeframe of 1 hour, possibly longer (GM discretion). This interface severs mesh connections when analyzing unknown devices, so as not to unwittingly spread infections. It is not compatible with biological technology or nanotech more advanced than transhumanity’s.

Aerostats are voluminous structures that float in a dense atmosphere. Their distinguishing features are lightweight structures and large internal spaces that are at a lower density than the surrounding atmosphere, thus providing lift. To provide stability, the expansive chambers that provide lift are located towards the top of the structure, with the bulk of the habitation space and docking facilities typically positioned on the underside, though some are known to have landing platforms or synthmorph living areas on the roof of the structure. Aerostats are common on Venus and also present in the clouds of Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune. Most aerostats drift with the currents, though some are tugged or tethered to the surface.

First built to explore the deep oceans of Earth, bathyscaphes provide a breathable atmosphere in aquatic environments and are usually pressurized at near-Earth normal. They tend to be heavily built as they must withstand high pressures at depth. Bathyscaphes are common in the subsurface oceans of Enceladus, Ceres, and Europa, and are known to exist with similar function on exoplanets with high-pressure atmospheres as well as the surface of Venus. Larger bathyscaphes are anchored to the floor of the environment (or, in the case of Europa, the crustal ice ceiling), while smaller bathyscaphes are mobile and can explore the depths. Airlocked moon pools allow access to the aquatic environment.

Beehives are tunnels, caverns, and excavated spaces in microgravity asteroids and moonlets. Most beehive habitats are created when squatters take over abandoned asteroid mines. With a bit of work, such as sealants, airlocks, and the addition of life-support and environmental controls, a biomorph can have a comfortable living space, whereas a synthmorph can get by with few or no modifications at all. Residents will often tunnel out additional spaces and passageways as the population grows. Beehives have similar advantages, disadvantages, and requirements to subsurface planetary habitats. Comets, loosely held-together rock piles, or very rapidly rotating asteroids are generally not suitable for beehives, and very small asteroids typically have stability issues that make them unsuitable.

There are many varieties of and philosophies behind centrifugal habitats. Their defining feature is rotation. A person on the interior surface of a rotating hab will experience a force that simulates gravity (usually Earth or Mars standard). This force will always be perpendicular to and away from the axis of rotation (meaning that you stand on the inside of the rim with your head pointing up towards the axis). The faster the rotation, the stronger the force. As you climb nearer to the axis, thus reducing your angular velocity, the force decreases until reaching zero gravity at the axis.

Modern centrifugal habs can be broadly classified into three major types based on geometry ($list), as well as various sub-types based on construction method or other feature. There is no real functional difference as the centrifugal principles are the same.

Domed habitats are an enclosed, pressurized area on the surface of a planetary body. These can range from large tents to cities of thousands. The environment internal to the dome is engineered to be Earthlike. Impact craters, with the crater rim serving as a natural base for the usually tessellated roof architecture, are favorite locations for domes. There are typically airlocks to the surface as well as extensive underground habitation areas. Underground transport between domes and other habitats is not uncommon. Domes are usually made transparent during day cycles; larger cities project video or holographic displays on the dome interior. Dome fabrics are protective and self-repairing but not indestructible. Some are covered with a coating derived from local materials for insulation and protection from micrometeors and radiation.

Page: 118Parent: cylinder

The prototypical modular-independent cylindrical habitat, named in honor of the prolific 21st century space architect C.F. Fisher, consists of shorter cylinders, sometimes called disk habitats, which are commonly joined together as new units are completed. This allows for reasonably large internal spaces with complex ecosystems — smaller versions of the megaproject O’Neill type habs, but with the advantage of faster construction times and the ability of each unit to have its own unique ecosystem or even be its own polity. Some units remain very independent of the others, with the only connection being through the central thoroughfare, while others open up spaces through the hulls and permanently fuse together. Unless the modules have been fused, it is not strictly necessary for each unit in a group to have the same rotational speed, nor is it necessary for each unit to have the same radius. As these units are theoretically independent, it is possible for them to leave a particular agglomeration and go fully independent, or to join another Fisher group. Fisher units often have a large number of habitation levels, sometimes extending from Earth gravity to Mars gravity or beyond, with parks and recreational spaces distributed throughout. While there is some variation, the length and radius of Fisher units tend to be standardized at about one kilometer each, and are rarely seen with radii greater than two kilometers. Fisher habitats tend to exist in confederations with each unit retaining relative independence.

A silicate composite exterior shell provides a skeleton structure and protection from space. An interior middle layer collects waste and resources harvested by drones from nearby planets, moons, or asteroids. Nanofabricators and bioreactors in this layer maintain an infrastructure of nanosystems that sustain environmental cycles. A layer of distributed nanocomputers functions as a neural strata — the brain of the cylinder — controlling various habitat systems. Hamilton cylinders are aware of their surroundings, both internal and external, and are living, growing machines. There are currently only three Hamilton cylinders in existence — one in the Uranian system and two at Saturn.

Colloquially known as “octomorphs,” these uplifted octopus sleeves are quite useful in zero-gravity environments. They retain eight arms, their chameleon ability to change skin color, ink sacs, and a sharp beak. They also have increased brain mass and longevity, can breathe both air and water, and lack a skeletal structure so they can squeeze through tight spaces. Octomorphs typically crawl along in zero gravity using their arm suckers and expelling air for propulsion; in low gravity they walk on two of their arms. Their eyes have been enhanced with color vision, provide a 360-degree field of vision, and rotationally adjust to keep the slitshaped pupil aligned with “up.” A transgenic vocal system allows them to speak.

Neutrino particles pass through solid matter with ease and are impossible to block. As a result, they make an ideal medium for communications. Unfortunately, they are also easy to intercept. Even a tight beam of neutrinos sent between two locations can be intercepted simply by placing another receiver behind the location the broadcaster is sending to. Neutrino communicators require a large power plant to power the high energy particle interactions required to generate the neutrino broadcast. Neutrino communicators usually broadcast neutrinos in all directions, though tight-beam transmissions are also possible. Quite often neutrino communications take advantage of quantum farcasting for security.

Several variations exist of the Nuestro shell, but the principle design consists of multiple rigid spars radiating outward symmetrically from a central point. Additional ringed structures connect across the spars, allowing for movement between them and providing stability. Various modules are connect with the spars, rings, and each other either directly or via floatways. It is, in essence, a large stable framework for a cluster hab. Spars and rings typically have internal passageways and intermittently spaced airlocked docking structures that larger habitat modules will permanently attach to. The entire structure is contained within and attached to a geodesic sphere covered with a flexible, selfhealing mesh designed to protect against micrometeoroid impacts.

Large cylindrical habitats that are built to particular fixed dimensions are so named in homage to the 20th century physicist Gerard K. O’Neill. They tend to be large megaprojects and are known for having less internal segmentation, fewer habitation levels, and a vast internal space that recreates an Earthlike ecosystem. However, O’Neill’s design is considered antiquated by current standards. No habitat based on his original design has ever been built, though various modern variations exist.

When standing on a cylinder’s interior surface, the environment arcs up on either side, so that the far side of the habitat is directly overhead, on the opposite side of the cylinder. Cylinders are typically large-enough to hold cities and vast sculpted landscapes. Many run a solar electrochemiluminescence tube along the axis that provides an internal day/night cycle.

Planetary habitats can exist on any planet, moon, or asteroid where the natural gravity is sufficient to allow for walking without being aloft for an excessive period of time. The lower bound of what is considered a planetary habitat is arbitrary and overlaps with the upper bound of microgravity habitats.

For those who are only familiar with spin gravity and have never been planetside, nor experienced XP or VR of a gravitational world, there are a few things to note. On a gravitational world, it is not readily apparent which direction is prograde or retrograde, or where the axis of rotation is. There is no perceptible change in rotational velocity or gravity when moving up or down in a structure, the elevators never tilt or move in a curved path, and the quixotic curves of thrown or flying objects are at best parabolic. This can all be a bit disorienting and bland if you are unaccustomed to it.

Pods (a colloquialism derived from “pod people”) were originally designed as biological androids. Their parts are vat-grown separately using accelerated-growth processes and assembled with a number of cybernetic system “short-cuts;” this entire process producing a functional body in a fraction of the time it takes to clone a standard biomorph. Cyberbrains replace their undeveloped gray matter. The first generations of pods were operated by ALIs and primarily used in service industries where a biological aesthetic was preferred to robots, in hazardous labor industries, and for sex work. They were visually distinguished from normal humans by stylized seamlined patterns in their skin, a designation that remains common today. In the wake of the Fall and the subsequent demand for more biomorphs, pods are now commonly sleeved by transhumans, especially indentures, but they still often suffer a classist stigma. Pods lack reproductive functions and are usually neuter. Non-human pods are increasingly common.

A cylindrical habitat where the modules are dependent on each other is known as a polykatoikia. They consist of pods, rings, ring segments, or other interlocking shapes that are gradually built up, both along the axis of rotation and outward from it. A rotating assembler system allows for the addition of new segments without interrupting the rotation of the habitat, with the primary requirement being that new segments are added in a manner that is balanced across the axis of rotation. Segments are not normally designed to function independently of the habitat, and engineering and life support systems are typically part of the substructure of the habitat, which is itself built out as the habitat grows. Polykatoikia are known for fast construction times, smaller open spaces, and an often labyrinthine internal layout.

While communities of infomorphs can be found within other habitats, a processor locus is a dedicated computational environment designed exclusively for the disembodied. Also referred to as a noosphere, the most notable features of a processor habitat are a massive computational core, extensive power generation facilities, and research centers related to the architecture, engineering, programming, and evolution of computing systems. Loci run multiple massive simulspace environments capable of hosting tens of thousands of infomorphs. Regarded with suspicion by some for their potential to harbor AGIs or become spawn points for ASIs, as well as claims of engaging in banned AI and cognitive research, processor habitats are heavily shielded and defended.

Egocasting into a processor locus is encouraged by its inhabitants, as familiarity diminishes fear.

As the swarms traveled, these structures were towed by barges, retrofit with engines, or interlaced with spacecraft in what are known as LaFrance rig lattices. Over time, these refugees joined together with pre-existing nomadic peoples, becoming the Scum. These communities vary greatly in culture, language, organization, and wealth.

Each cell is part of a server. Servers are collections of cells that share a common interest or overarching objective. Servers often have a focus or specialization: the observation and identification of threats in a specific region, infiltration of hypercorps suspected of meddling with ASI, countering a known group of exhumans, and so forth. Many are dedicated to ongoing research projects or action task forces, known as cases or operations respectively. An individual cell within a server may further specialize in necessary sub-tasks.

Sometimes nearly perfect spheres, but more commonly a prolate shape, spheroidal habitats are often referred to as Bernal spheres in honor of the scientist John Desmond Bernal, who first conceived of such habitats in 1929. The main habitation level is typically built on a band extending across from the same degree lines north and south of the equator. This gives a living surface like that of a cylinder. Beneath the main habitation level are further, progressively smaller habitation levels and engineering sections. Larger spheroids may have multiple stepped levels at progressively lesser gravities going out toward the poles.

Spindles are wound lengths of thin (0.2 millimeters) but super-strong fullerene cable. It can extend 250 meters of cable capable of supporting 5,000 kilograms of weight at 1 g. The spindle also contains a specialized fabber that can manufacture more cable and extend it indefinitely, at a rate of 1 meter per minute, as long as it is fed with raw materials. The spindle can cut the cables it produces at any length. If fixed in place with built-in grip pads, it can also retract the cable at a rate of 50 meters per action turn, or re-absorb cables at the rate of 5 meters per minute. Spindle cables can be cut by inflicting 30 points of damage.

Robotic shells sleeved by transhuman egos.

Parent: morphs

Most synthmorph designs were originally intended to be robots, piloted by ALIs. Robot forms are optimized to suit their function, and so a wide variety of body plans exist. Robots designed to interact with transhumans often have biped or quadruped walker frames, to better navigate transhuman dwellings and spaces, but were often distinctly non-human in appearance. Many feature a sort of symbolic “face,” to give transhumans something to look at and interact with, but these were rarely realistic, so as to avoid uncanny-valley creepiness.

Since the Fall, more synthmorphs have been designed specifically for transhuman egos, as they are cheaper and quicker to make than biomorphs. Without specialized robotic functions in mind, many of these synthmorph designs feature anthropomorphic frames (androids and gynoids) specifically tailored for egos used to human forms, including heads and distinctive (though still non-realistic) faces. As transhumanity grows accustomed to synthmorphs and more creative, however, innovative and unusual synthmorph designs become more common-place.

Common morphs are: $list

Synths are even more humanoid than cases and of better quality. They are commonly deployed for labor-intensive tasks in environments not suited for biomorphs or for people who need a body quickly and cheaply or simply on a transient basis. Most designs are anthropomorphic, though various alternatives exist, including some based on uplift physiology.

The base structure of a Tenmai shell is made from the outer shell of a cylindrical or spheroid centrifugal habitat, but does not house the expected interior structure. Instead, it contains a vast, protected, usually pressurized, microgravity area that can be several cubic kilometers in size. From the outside they look much the same as a centrifugal habitat of the same shape and typically have similar docking ports at what would have been the axis of rotation. The interiors are as diverse as bare-bones empty shells, a literal jungle of microgravity-adapted plants, the chaos of a three-dimensional, haphazardly created labyrinth with few right angles, or the disciplined order of a cubicle worker’s nightmare.

Tin-can habitats are small modules of simple construction and only the most basic support systems. Many are nothing more than converted shipping containers. They can be solo or connected to large networks of tin cans or other microgravity habitats. They harken back to the earliest days of space flight and are disfavored by most who can afford something better. There are a few tin cans that have been in near continuous use for over a century. Curiously, these timeworn relics have become prized by certain antiquarians and retrophiles who ardently upkeep them and become experts in their ancient systems.

Toroidal habitats resemble a wheel, with spokes connecting to a central docking station. They tend to be more simply made and have lower populations than other centrifugal habitat types. It is not unusual to see a double torus with counter-rotating sections. Tori are most common in low planetary orbits and often have many windows for viewing the planet below. When standing on the interior surface of a torus with large open areas, the habitat seems to curve upwards in two directions, until eclipsed by the ceiling. Tori are sometimes referred to as von Braun wheels or Stanford tori, based on early 20th-century conceptions.

Vacsuits are a requirement in sealed habitats and spacecraft. They come in a variety of forms, from newer smart-fabric to older, retro models, both in light and standard designs.

In a breathable atmosphere, modern vacsuits are loose smartfabric garments that can be worn as ordinary clothing and easily put on or taken off. When activated — either manually or automatically if the suit detects a loss of air pressure — the suit becomes skin-tight and resistant to vacuum over 3 action turns. The hood stiffens and transforms into a transparent helmet.

Older vacsuit models lack the smart fabrics and are made of stiffer and bulkier materials. Donning one is a REF Check task action with a timeframe of 1 minute (20 action turns). Quick-release functions allow them to be removed in 3 action turns.

Unless specifically noted, assume characters have newer models; older dumb-fabric designs are typically kept around as backups in older habitats and ships.

Vectors are those proxies specializing in the broad array of skills we loosely refer to as “hacking.” Primarily a support role, vectors are responsible for digital intrusion, information security, data manipulation, infrastructure sabotage, and social engineering. Vectors rarely deploy to the field, but often provide remote overwatch on operations in real-time when necessary. Most often vectors spend their time assessing potential targets, testing their existing assets, or helping clean up loose ends from operations. During a field operation, your assigned vector is likely to be the only dedicated support you can expect to receive.
