Security

• Forces & organizations

  • Most settlements have peacekeeping or law enforcement agencies with dedicated buildings and government backing.

  • Many sites are patrolled instead by private security firms and mercenary forces, especially corporate, Syndicate, or remote installations.

• Security systems

  • Surveillance cameras and observation drones are common; guards monitor feeds from designated security rooms and can dispatch or remotely operate drones/robots.

  • Traps and automated defenses (hazards) include:

    • Sentry turrets – mechanized guns that attack intruders.

    • Laser turrets – concealed emitters that pop up and fire when someone enters a zone.

    • Laser webs – grids of damaging beams across corridors or rooms.

All of these are implemented mechanically as hazards with Perception DCs, Disable DCs, attack bonuses, and damage, and can be re‑skinned freely to match Starfall’s factions and tech levels.
