Aberrant

Aberrant is the middle game in the Trinity Universe trilogy. Referred to as both the Aberrant Era and the Nova Age, Aberrant is a superpowers game set in the early 21st century. Novas, the protagonists of the game, are used as a metaphor for modern celebrities.

History
In the Aberrant timeline, in 1998 the space station Galatea exploded in space. As most people figure it, radiation fallout from the explosion somehow caused various people around the world to erupt as novas, individuals with the ability to manipulate the four universal quantum forces.

Allegiances
Unlike other White Wolf games, Aberrant doesn't exactly have any distinct splats. Instead, it has several loose allegiances to which one can belong.


 * Project Utopia, an organization founded by the Æon Society to study and to help novas
 * Team Tomorrow, a series of "super teams" created by Project Utopia to help demonstrate the epitome of Utopian ideals
 * Teragen, a group of novas who believe that they are as far above humanity as humans are above apes, and should not be held accountable by human law
 * Aberrants, a small group of novas who are trying to expose the corruption inside Project Utopia, which they have dubbed "Proteus"
 * The aforementioned Project Proteus
 * The Directive, a multi-national government agency whose goals are similar to Utopias, except one of their mission statements is to act as watchdog over Utopia's excesses

Various other minor allegiances exist, such as acting as an elite mercenary for the DeVries Agency, as a municipal defender, the ecoterrorist group Greenwar, the informal Queer Nova Alliance, and so on.
