Degado Sector is a procedurally generated interstellar cold war setting, based on Classic Traveller '77 and inspired by British sci-fi and cold war fiction.

Setting Principles #

• Planets as nation-states. No unified federations spanning multiple planets. Empires function more like USA than Rome.
• Physical tech. Buttons and switches, plugs and cables. Computers scale in size with their power and utility.
• Human variant life. Alien fauna and flora exist, but none have reached sentience, nor are there any extinct ancient alien lifeforms.
• Slower-than-light communication. Information is fractured, unequally distributed, and unreliable.
• No single currency. Without interstellar banking, travellers must trade goods for upgrades and services.
• Submarine-style space combat. Frigates and battleships, no small fighters.
