Submitted as a review and replicated here for public consumption: I've been playing a good bit of Star Hauler solo over the last few days and had a fantastic experience! Ran into a situation where a refugee crisis adjacent to a system with an industrial strike lead me to devise a scheme to smuggle desperate refugees in as scab workers (real scumbag move, but profitable!) In another instance a complication table made my desperate rush to bring med to a pandemic stricken world moot as the illness ended. I decided to cut my losses by selling the prescribed med on the black market! All exciting and adventurous stuff stoked by the dice rolls and charts, letting my brain fill in the blanks in surprising ways. Runs as expected!
The version I played does have an issue where bullet points staggered across sections, and I would love to see common procedures have all their steps appearing on a single page - but my only gripes are quality of life issues. If a future revision had even more random tables or subbed out 1d12 tables for more robust d66 charts I would dig that too!
Great idea and execution with the Breathless SRD. A few pieces of text refer to a Risk Oracle but I don't see the mechanic defined anywhere. Is the intention that the Risk Oracle is a Check?

Where do I find the Beyond the Void expansion?
It’s coming in the next weeks/months. Draft is complete, but my typesetting queue is quite packed
very excitiiiing
Is there meant to be a character and/or ship sheet?
not for now I’m afraid

I saw this in the credits…
…so I looked that up, and I see a Risk Oracle here: https://keeper.farirpgs.com/resources/fari-rpgs/breathless/the-oracles/
Indeed it was a typo, a remnant of the first version of the game that as Ed Brannin pointed out comes from the Oracle of Fari Games
I’ve just released the fixed version
