Definitely add this to your collection.This is the book you’ve all been waiting for! The first major supplement for The Expanse RPG is all about ships and the dangers and rewards of space travel. Don't expect anything Star Wars or a Trek type of show. Great cast that included Shohreh Aghdashloo, Thomas Jane, Nadine Nicole, the protagonist Keon Alexander, David Strathairn, Terry Chen, Francois Chau, Elizabeth Mitchell, Jared Harris, and Brian George. Loved the actors from badass Wes Chatham and beautiful Frankie Adams to Cas Anwar and Steven Strait who come together to man the Rocinante which means broken down old horse in Spanish. This caused a rift and the belters declared war on the inners. And the results of weapon strikes are devastating: it only takes one torpedo or a few well-placed railgun slugs to take out a ship. The belters provided ships, while earth exchanged food and support to both Mars and the Belt. In the Expanse, the ships all fire torpedoes or guns at each other. The storyline takes place sometime in the future where there are colony of humans on the moon, Mars and the asteroid belt.

THE EXPANSE SHIPS SERIES
It did leave some holes that did not get answered but overall it is one of the best Syfy series I have ever watched. High quality The Expanse Ships-inspired gifts and merchandise. Loved the series, but hate that it was canceled after six seasons.

For a list of ship classes employed by the MCRN, see Category:MCRN ship classes. The Expanse was a Syfy channel series but now you may watch it on Amazon Prime. A category for a list of all warships employed by the Martian Congressional Republic Navy.
