The I.S.S. Vega

Variant of the standard Imperial class "S" Scout/Courier. (By Steven John Satak)


Published in 1988, SLM4 was the first issue to use desktop publishing for the entire production process. Given that this was at a time when quality DTP equipment and software were still very expensive, SLP had to work within its limited budget to get the best bang possible for the buck.

Using a new "sourcebook" format, it was designed as a reference to help Referees add elements to their adventures. This issue covered groups and character types that often surface during war. Although the feature never full realized its potential, it did introduce new mercenary units like Sapphire and Death's Head. Part one of the ISS Vega series also appeared in this issue.
