FIRST NOTE: Tomorrow, I hope, I will post the official flyer the WEG has put
out about ShatterZone.


SECONDNOTE:
ShatterZone is not SPACE RANGERS!!!!!!!
  well, not if I can help it  :}
  I don't like SR, but Ed (Stark) and Bill (Smith) do, go figure.

   On the other hand, it isn't going to be ST:TNG or ST:DS9 (although the 
frontier is kinda close to DS9).  

   My vision (and since the Campaign Book will kind of be biased by it) is a 
much grittier space arena.  The Core and Near Colonies are ugly, filled with 
corporate corruption, power plays, poverty and hopelessness.  The Frontier
is filled with all the dangers of the frontier with few of the pleasantries.
  Remember, WEG already has Star Wars and they don't need another Good vs.
Evil universe with soppy soap operas.  Instead, look for the many shades of
gray that come from mixing Cyberpunk with Space Travel.  IE. Bladerunner in 
space.
  This isn't to say everything is this way, but if the government and the 
corps get their way, it will be.

BTW, the basic system is very close to Torg.
