Starbreaker: SAINTs and Synners

Created by Star Anvil Studios

Starbreaker is a sci-fi setting on the edge of known space, where criminal syndicates and bounty hunters flourish among the cold and uncaring stars. It is a setting in need of unlikely heroes; agents known as SAINTs who attempt to disrupt the syndicates from within. Starbreaker: SAINTs and Synners puts you in the heart of that struggle. The SAINTs are a special task force dedicated to taking down the criminal syndicates. This is a world the SAINTs know well... because they are former criminals themselves! Take on the role of a wolf in sheep's clothing as you move amongst the planets of the Syndicate Systems, seeking out ways to hurt the syndicates and help the people of the worlds ruled by these criminal gangs. The edge of the galaxy is standing on the brink; just a push could slide it into the abyss or move it away from Syndicate control. Do you have what it takes to stand with the SAINTs?

Hey Everyone

STRECTH GOALS  

  We are only about 800 away from the next stretch goal!  Thanks for getting us this far. We would love to hit more stretch goals and give you even bigger and cooler things. You can help us get there, share the Kickstarter on your Facebook, Twitter, Reddit, etc. We have some bigger items we would love to offer, but we have to hit some higher numbers to make that happen. Your support is how we will make it.

MISSION #2

  We have opened up another online session to be run by the creator of Starbreaker. If you wanted in on it or know someone who might be interested, 6 slots are open now!

Starbreaker- Species and Professions
about 2 months ago – Sat, Oct 05, 2024 at 10:07:16 AM

Hello Backers!

I wanted to share a little bit more about the species and professions in the Starbreaker setting. Check out the Zaka species and the Bounty Hunter Profession descriptions. 

ZAKA

The zaka prize competency above all else. Becoming highly skilled in your chosen field—regardless of whether it is advanced engineering, statecraft, or janitorial work—earns a measure of respect from any zaka.

The highest aspiration of any zaka is to be recognized for his skill and dedication. Even the most aloof zaka will almost crack what passes for a smile when he receives a sincere compliment concerning the quality of his work. 

BOUNTY HUNTER

Although bounty hunters practice a trade of violence and accept money to hunt their targets down, they typically prefer to bring those targets back alive. Killing is a last resort and usually pays a lot less. Bounty hunter clients prefer to be the ones who decide who lives and who dies.

Most bounty hunters start on this career path as either soldiers or law enforcement officers. Either way, working for someone else and getting shot at for lower-than-average pay wasn’t a long-term career choice. The skills they learned made them effective hunters, and now they’re ready to make it into the big time.

Hey Everyone!

  Thanks for helping us hit the first stretch goal!  Now the Alau, Mentis, and Thovin aliens are in the book! 

   What is next? A second set of starship plans! Perfect for transporting that cargo without “entangelments”, the Gorsht Engineering Battle Action Transport or B.A.T was designed to protect small merchants from attacks by pirates.  Check it out and let us know what you think!

Funded! Whats next?!

Thank you!

  We have funded and Starbreaker will be a reality after so much hard work has gone into making it happen. We appreciate each and every one of you who has backed us and helped us get to this point.

Tune in

  Tonight we will be on the Savage Goose, jump on and join in. You can ask questions and learn more about the setting, rules, aliens, tech, or whatever you want to know about!

Strecth Goal #1 @ 7500- New Aliens 

  Now we get to take a sneak peek at what comes next. Our current stretch goal is for three new and amazing alien species to be added to the book. Check out the Alau, Mentis, and Thovin. In keeping with the Starbreaker universe these aliens strongly resemble the animals they were evolved from.
