Expanded armories
Melee, kinetic, energy, exotic and heavy weapons with distinct House traditions and advanced properties.
Equipment expansion · Rust & Steel
Every machine keeps a history.
A deep equipment expansion for crews who want their weapons, armor, drones and illegal upgrades to matter.
Rust & Steel expands the technology of the Pearl Era from field knives to ship weapons. Optional condition rules give equipment wear, degradation and malfunction a place in the story, while the black market and Heat make forbidden power come with a living cost.

Modification
Weapon and armor improvements, compatibility, professional work and illegal integrations for signature equipment.
Tools & survival gear
Medical kits, technical tools, communications, surveillance, bypass equipment and field packages for life beyond safe ports.
Advanced drones
Specialist frames, drone bays, optimizations, counter-drone tools and faction-specific doctrine.
The black market
Contraband, prohibited weapons, forbidden armor, illegal services and the people who trade in dangerous access.
Heat
A campaign-facing consequence system where attention rises from Cold to Burned and crime reshapes the world around the crew.
Enter the machine age
