Note: If I go ahead with this it would be my first GMing experience.
Set in the prime Red Dwarf universe, 180 years after the rad leak that killed Red Dwarf's crew, a Space Corps ship called the Sabralus with a primitive warp drive is sent to find Red Dwarf to recover the vessel and its sole survivor in stasis. About two weeks into the journey to find the Dwarf, (slated to take about two months), the ship goes through a time hole, and finds itself stuck about three million years into the future, in orbit around Fuchal, the Cat's promised land. Once the crew discovers signatures on the planet consistant with shuttle and mining craft from Red Dwarf, a shuttle is sent down to investigate with a six person crew.
I fudged the chargen rules to create some of these characters. I have four so far, and I'd like Advice on what to have the other two bee.
