What scifi setting for Rogue Stars will you use?

[DivisMal]

There are so many sci-fi worlds that I would find it impossible to nail just one down.  For the time being I am planning two different gestalt "universes" composed of my favorite tropes.

The first is the spaghetti western space opera born from Star Wars, Star Trek and Serenity.  A galaxy full of diverse lifeforms and interplanetary skullduggery.  An evil space empire/corporation is pretty much a requirement here.

The other would be built around humanity taking it's first furtive steps outside of the solar system with the rest of the universe as a cold black sea the explorers looking for the new world sailed.  This setting would be built around the Expanse, Enterprise, Aliens, and if I could squeeze it in there some Mythos as well.

@DivisMal I'd love to get some Dune in here too;  I'm just not sure which setting to put it in.  Probably a bit in both.   

Yes, we definitely need more Dune in Wargaming. Problem is that I imagine a lot of it being very close and personal. So actually a fantasy or even historical ruleset might be best to start working on.

There's 2 settings that I want to explore (and use within my one setting): the RPG Shatterzone (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shatterzone) and the time between SW: Return of the Jedi and SW: Force Awakens, described in the Star Wars: Aftermath novels, with the Empire falling apart while the Rebellion tries to switch from being a resistance movement to an actual government.

Adding Dune into the mix could present some challenges on the ground.  Must be careful with the ingredients to avoid awkward Trek/Dune/Aliens fusions.  Turn one:  Phaser to the Holtzman shields and, "Game over Man.  Game over" .

I intend a cyberpunk/shadowrun game.
I have lots of hasslefree scifi's and moderns to act in the near future , and I have ideas for cyberpunky dystopian future terrain.

I'm thinking of the variant Star Wars setting I've been thinking of for a while and tried a few times to run with Saga edition but never really got people playing.

Basically, it's a few thousand years post Endor...meaning that it doesn't really matter than much which continuity things are from and would work well either way.

New factions, but there's still the Jedi, white armored troopers, dark side crazies, galactic empires, and more...

Basicaly space frontiers with a cyberpunk feel and somewhat lovecraftian aliens (Like the reaper Kulathi models).

Also I plan using it to play some Inquisimunda games.

I'm thinking "Judge Dread" or "Stargate".

With "Stargate" I finally get to use those Jaffa Warriors I got from Eureka (before they pulled).

I'm not much into setting outlines but I immagine the Rogue Stars setting as somewhere between Firefly and Elysium... Something very close to Killjoys (if you don't know the show, do something with it!).

[The Gray Ghost]

something along the line of Traveller I really liked the setting before the virus.

For me Infinity is a given; love its setting and minis, can't get my head around the rules.
40k might be a close second, if Rogue Stars can handle a squad of powerarmoured marines. Otherwise, Arbites fighting Genestealer cultists is always an option.

[spect_spidey]

I will probably go with Star Wars or 40K as my setting.

[Psychopomp]

Borderlands, perhaps.  If I can find the time to do the modelling project.  Vault Hunters, bandits, company men and troops; all with a post-apoc space cowboy vibe.

[mdauben]

I'm envisioning a vaguely "Star Wars-ish" setting, without Jedi or Sith.  A galactic civilization of multiple sentient species, FTL travel, self aware robots, and lots of cool scifi tech.  Smugglers, traders, criminal underworlds, etc.    I figure that can give me a whole universe of settings (desert planets, jungle planets, city planets, etc.) to play with.

Same here but I sold the models already. On the other hand, I could buy the old Fusiliers and make them Star Cops. Hmmmm

My reasoning is also that I will use models which the official rules don't allow me to deploy in a number or combination I'd prefer. For example, using Rogue Stars I can field my loved Loup-Garous as a coherent, stand-alone force, without the silly requirement to pair them with parachutists and trenchers.
