Cosmic Uprising is a game of space opera war using a lean ruleset inspired by Forged in the Dark games. You play as radicals staging a militant uprising against the Imperium of Evil, which chokes the starways into oppression and terror. Take action against the Imperium, recruit new radicals to your cause, and establish hidden bases across the cosmos, and perhaps you will find a way to topple the Imperium once and for all.

Cosmic Uprising is a love letter to Star Wars created by Eli Kurtz. It’s a game of big damn heroes going to strange worlds to fight an overwhelming enemy. You usually either win or escape, but only after confronting lots of peril.
