Space Exploration: Serpens Sector is an upcoming RPG by Metal Beetle Ltd. It’s a work in progress, but you can download a development preview now.
In SE:SS, you are tasked with charting the long-abandoned Serpens Sector, a region of space reached through a wormhole near Earth. Each star system you visit brings you an encounter with something – aliens, ancient ruins, other humans and many dangers. The map and encounters are chosen at random for each game, which means that each game plays out differently.
Author releases new previews every once in a while and he is very interested in any feedback – so once you’ve tried it out, head over to the developer’s forum and tell him what you think – or use the feedback form. You can also follow the game’s development on Twitter.
The base game will be free and there will be expansion packs for sale. The 1.0 version of the game is scheduled to be released later this year, and will be available for Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux.

TCE was developed by GrooveSix Studios and Team Terminator. While Team Terminator is known for the famous Q3 based TrueCombat series, GrooveSix Studios was initiated by retired Team Terminator co-founder Coroner to develop a Return to Castle Wolfenstein modification that was never released.

The Global Intervention Force (GIF626 aka in-game as “Spec Ops”) is a special force formed of the top of the world experts joining from US Delta force, UK SAS, German KSK and GSG9, to mention a few. An international mercenary organization known as “The Unit” (aka “Terror” in-game) is their opponent.
