Where can YOU challenge your neighboring ranch owner to a power-armoured duel over land ownership rights and their allegations that your cabbage tastes like pine needles? Planet NewHope, Alpha Centauri.

Looking Glass released "Terra Nova: Strike Force Centauri" in 1996, a squad action game taking place in a science fiction setting, along with an accompanying novel. The setting features diverse clan-based societies in colonized Alpha Centauri, opposition to oppressive collective Earth solar system government, and power-armoured combat. We look at various aspects and reference points in adapting this setting into a tabletop roleplaying game with nostalgia for 90s science fiction and boxed-booklets games.
