Space Above and Beyond might be trying to carry the "Bad TV shows make good rpgs" principle too far.

You'd also have to pick which premise you were using. In the first ep they were the only successful fighter pilots Earth had. In the second ep they were grunts without space armor defending a refinery on Pluto from the inside.

Then in the third ep they were the bridge crew of a major starship and I stopped watching.

All of the above would not be compatible and some of it was _stupid_. If you have rescued some concept from this mess you might need to be more specific about what it is and why you think it would make a good game.
