There is a lack of psionics rules, but you can easily adapt the ones from Cthulhu Rising for the game( or from the DBRP rulesbook). There are no rules on environmental damage, such as vacuum, exotic atmospheres and burning damage but the new BRP book has these. The proofreading leaves something to be desired as there are a few typos here and there. An optional table (or two) for character development seems to be missing, but this has zero effect on the chargen. In fact I wondered why any of the other character background tables had been included, as most roleplayers can make up their own character backgrounds. The game is a BRP Traveller clone and worthy of being resurrected by Chaosium. It should be updated to the DBRP rules, which wouldn't take much work at all, and reissued as a supplement.
