Awesome!! If you like the Expanse series and you're a tabletop sci-fi gamer, you'll probably like these rules -- zero-G combat, boarding actions, fighting in zero atmosphere, all there!

Sweet! I will have to pick these up soon.

I've been meaning to catch up on 5150.

Is there a decent breakdown somewhere on how each game in the franchise relate to each other?

Weasel – Good starting point is go here to the website where it's broken down into 3 categories.

All the rules in each category can be used together as well as being able to crossover into the other categories with your characters/units.

So you could use 5150 Carrier Command for ships, switch to 5150 Space Marine when it's time to carry out the boarding action, and go to 5150 Back Alleys Bright Lights to blow off some steam on Personal Leave.

Good deal, thanks!

I am one edition behind in general, so need to get caught up :-)
