Celestial Bodies is a mecha TTRPG about humanity's long struggle to colonize the universe, and what will become of them. It's about those who will continue to the next generation — and those who will not. It's about endless destruction and death in the name of continuation, and those who wage it. It's about the great titan corpses that lie where the stars end, and what lies beyond them. You are lamplighters: a once-reverent name for the union of pilot and mech, flesh and steel, serving a home-ship. In the name of your home-ship, you will do things that are alternatively necessary, magnanimous, and possibly unspeakable. Your mechs will engage in combat with other hulking metal war machines and uncanny monstrous threats. Your ships and mechs will change as humanity begins to extract everything from the Titans. Mechanically, its signature feature is The Grid: a combination construction, hit chance, and hit location mechanic that all combat in the game revolves around.
