What is SpacePirates?
SpacePirates is a free, weird and cartoony space opera roleplaying game. The characters are pirates from the free trade area, where they experience hair-raising adventures as they hunt for fame and fortune. They have to fight other pirates, but sometimes they are hired for unlawful jobs: boarding or capturing space ships, abduction, espionage or smuggling. Only the pirate's code of conduct keeps them safe - and their habit to never turn their back to business partners.
The Universe
The SpacePirates Universe is full of extraordinary phenomena: purple holes, plasma rainbows, time-space rifts and an improbability zone.
The most important part for pirates though is the free trade area, where humans, kahadrians, trull and wagonians trade. But one can also meet plushy stripians, fruity space pears, sexy space amazons and evil to the core glukorians. And if that's not enough, there are always venal politicians, avaricious militaries, idealistic rebels and nutty sects.
Technology and physics are fantastic. Due to the discovery of neutrititum, there is an unlimited supply of energy. Space ships outrun the speed of light and shoot lasers and negatrons. And due to atmoshpere containment fields, your space ship can be a convertible!
