House Rules
Matter Manipulation: (Ebon Creation)
Background:
The process of creating solid matter out of Flux, using a different and more theoretical kind of Equation has been being used for centuries. Even before 0SD, Foldships navigated the universe, piloted by Ebons wearing Deathsuits, carrying Flintlocks for protection... The list of practical applications for Ebb Reactive material is practically limitless. But very complex.
Wave-Form (Ebon Oscillation)
Background:
The principle of Wave-Form is really a combination of Telekinesis and Illumination, blending and altering the techniques to concentrate less on the effects and more on the actual "Real" science behind the origins of these effects. Altering the shape or frequency of a wave has the potential to be either a very interesting display of power or a practically unstoppable weapon.
Electric Ebb (Ebon Electrics)
Background:
The principles of Electric Ebb have been studied and researched since at least 400 SD. The main concept behind the application of the Ebb to electrical energy is the manipulation of energy in the real world by the use of Flux. Electric Ebb is mainly a refinement of the Illumination and Blast schools of Ebb and is mainly studied by the more combat orientated Ebons and Brain Wasters.
Flux Mathematics
This Ebon list isn't going to be to everyone's taste. I know this, but it is to my taste: I like to relate real world science to rping as much as I can. Some people will resent the fact that these abilities use only the level of mathematics we have in 1997, and will argue that advances in maths would have occured in 900SD. My answer is that I view Ebb ability as something that Intruder has "allowed" for the ebon race, and it's up to him how complex Ebb maths can get. If he says that "i" is as deep as it gets, that's that.
Ebb Psychomorphology
aka The Flux Mind
Although ebb skills have tried in the past to tamper with people's perception, they have always been limited in their function to the "outside", or peripheral zones of thought. So, ebons have been able to send messages through the "communication" skill, but real telepathy and tele-empathy has always eluded them. Intruder has now authorised Meny to educate suitable candidates (I+I, Business or Media) with this new ability.
New Skills
Not to say that the SLA team didn't give us enough of them, but...
Alternate Rules for Character Generation

Chi Powers in SLA Industries
A description of Chi Powers
”The flow of Chi through the body has long been known as the pulse of life itself. It ripples through the flesh, regulating all things in its path. To master Chi is to master life itself. Like a stubborn horse, Chi is resistant to our caresses but when we earn its respect, there is nothing that it will not do for us. Look into your soul, and see what you truly wish for. Be it the strength of a hundred men, the speed of the East Wind or the longevity of the ancient turtles, the strength of Chi will place it in your hands.”
SLA Industries v1.1 Errata
The errata issued by Nightfall that explains the changes between SLA Industries 1.0 and 1.1. Below are attached scans of the official errata and there is a text from the errata after the jump.
Departmental Chain of Command
In the chain of command on page 42-43, the Department of Shocks, Shares and Bonds should read Stocks, Shares and Bonds.
Game System
The Stormer's Movement Rate listed on page 149 is correct, giving Stormers a movement of: Walk:1 Run: 2.5 Sprint: 4.
SLA Industries System Queries
The following are some general supplemental rules that have been issued.
Ebons without the ability to manipulate the Ebb
