COOPERATION, UNITY, SUPPORT, AND PROGRESS. Welcome to O-12. Born from the failings of the UN and the League of Nations, the O-12 is a place where what passes for interplanetary law across the Human Sphere is born, bred, and ultimately enforced.

A bureaucratic monolith, it provides guidance on every topic and imposes order when all other measures fail.

It is the one neutral place where all the factions can come together and talk out their differences. Each can contribute, secure in the knowledge that they will be equally able to speak regardless of military might or economic leverage, and who knows, occasionally someone might even listen.

Whether marshalling the forces arrayed against the Combined Army, negotiating multilateral trade treaties, or pursuing shoplifters on a Circular, the O-12 is a constant, often quiet part of the Spheres everyday life. Partnered with the Spheres sole AI, ALEPH, it seeks to promote order above alnity is inclined to pursue.

Inside this 123-page book, you will learn of the O-12s many and varied bureaus with a special emphasis on the agencies and ultimately people that strive to keep ruin from the door.

Full character creation rules for O-12 characters, including a wealth of background information on the O-12 faction, and expanded campaign rules for Bureau Noir.
