ABOUT
THE GAME
Mankind has expanded its reach beyond the Sol System. Factions, mega-corporations and syndicates are locked in a political and economic strife. The inevitable destruction and decay of a colonized exoplanet is imminent.
beta decay is a dark, dystopian RPG where you can build spaceships, join factions, and fight for territory in a newly discovered star system. Live amongst the colonists as a citizen of the new frontier. Be an engineer repairing starships, to a syndicate leader, executing raids deep within a labyrinthic neon city.

Factions and Divisions
Factions and Divisions seek to drive equity and justice throughout the star system. Policies and jurisdictions have been established to provide a greater good for all Centauri citizens. Their directives are commonly carried out by Politicians and on-site Enforcers.

Cells and Syndicates
Cells and Syndicates succeed on the absence of policy and a standardized government. Sophisticated trade networks have been established by many of the syndicates which cause market destabilization, crippling the corporate ability to capitalize on profits. Cell Agents are known to be combat hardened, and strike fear into all citizens who cross their path.
