A hard science fiction setting for Big Eyes, Small Mouth set in the Alpha Centauri system. On the planet Osiris, colonists discover the ruins of an alien civilization, shrouded in an unatural fog. The fog turns out to be airborne nanites, used by the ancient Osirans to build tools, toys and furniture as and when they needed. Jewels uncovered in the ruins are found to control the utility fog, which fact is useful to the rebels seeking independence from the UN and the Centauri Consortium.
The book covers character generation for the setting, with templates for cyborgs, AI, colonists, activists, xenosurgeons, fog witches, xeno-archaeologists and others. The Technology chapter covers nanotechnology, colonial equipment, weapons, mecha, and vehicles, including Osiran artifacts, xenomechs and xenoplagues made by the utility fog. Maps and descriptions are given for the Alpha Centauri system, with a run-down of the organizations involved in-system.

| 3 + 5 | migo | BESM Centauri Knights. Centauri Knights is a great resource for any BESM Sci-Fi game and is a good setting toolkit for running a campaign in Alpha Centauri. At 112 pages however, it is not a detailed campaign setting. [ Read Review ] |
| 4 + 4 | 27Rats | Centauri Knights. A 'harder' sci-fi setting than might be expected for an anime game. Well worth picking up. [ Read Review ] |

| 8 / 10 | yorrick | If you've ever considered running Transhuman Space using a system other than GURPS, look at Centauri Knights. David Pulver developed the TS setting at around the same time that he was creating this BESM supplement, and the similarities are many. On its own merits, this is a very interesting hard s.f. setting using a fairly light system. Good stuff. |
