The Expanse: Zero-Day In Sable Station

The invention of the Epstein drive opened up the reaches of the outer solar system for colonization and spread of humanity, but the spread of humanity contributed to its instability and divergence. Mars and Earth are on the verge of what could be the deadliest war of human history. The Belters struggle for every day survival, lashing out with terrorist attacks, protests and open revolt against the oppression of the inner planets, meanwhile inter-planetary corporations, with an eye only for the bottom line, sell dangerous alien technology to the highest bidder. You are a blue collar worker in a dead-end job on a mining ship trying to make it from paycheck to paycheck. This is the world of The Expanse.

About the game: This will be using The Expanse RPG system, which is based on the AGE system. I plan to use James SA Corey's The Expanse as the setting with inspiration, and maybe some downright copying, from other hard sci-fi authors such as Kim Stanley Robinson, Andy Weir, Cixin Liu, and David Brin, but I expect players to contribute to the game world as well, and I usually give players a good amount of narrative freedom, as long as it doesn't directly go against the setting.

About me: I have been playing tabletop RPGS off and on (mostly off) for over 25 years, and I have plenty of GM experience in live or VOIP sessions.

Expectations of players:
-First and foremost respect your fellow players. (I don't think I should even have to say this)
-No adversarial RP or play. While disagreements between PC's is good RP, and may lend to deepen the story and relationships, it may lead to strife between players if you're just being uncooperative, disruptive, and/or adversarial. In other words: We're playing a cooperative game together, not a competitive game against each other.
-No power-gaming, murder hobos, or min/maxing, we are trying to create a collaborative narrative, not show off who has the biggest numbers or who can do the most damage. In fact I encourage sub-par but interesting character builds.
-This is a "hard" scifi setting, meaning that there is no FTL, and that things like inertia and gravity are things you'll need to worry about from time to time. It's ok if you're not a physicist or mathematician (I certainly am not), but please at least respect the "spirit" of the hard scifi setting.
-Game will be played with a combination of Discord and Roll20, so you must have access to both.
-Game time is at 7pm (UTC-6) (that would be 9pm est) on Saturdays.
