Fortune favors the bold.
Keto System
Freely Downloadable Space Terrain
Before the empire caught flame, Keto System was a quietly bustling
agro/mining outpost. Afterward, only charred husks of planets and
asteroids remained. Now they drift through space forever, immortal
lonely markers of the history of man.
Keto System is a small pack of freely downloadable, printable scenery
largely meant for spaceship combat games. It includes some planets,
suns, space phenomena (no battle is complete without weird field
effects!), and a collection of generally useful chits and markers.

Get Adobe
Acrobat Reader, a free download, if you don't have it
already.
- Print out desired pages. Enable page scaling if your printer
requires large margins.
- Affix each page to a thicker paper stock using rubber cement or
spray adhesive. Both spread more evenly and attach more permanently
than white glue. Cardstock is best, but anything will work
well---posterboard, cereal boxes, etc.
- Carefully cut out each piece. A hobby knife
and straightedge are best, but scissors will do.
- Score the printed faces along the dashed gray lines and the
backsides along the dashed red lines. Scoring prevents thick stock
from splitting, tearing, and bending when folded. To score paper,
trace the blade edge along the score line, breaking the surface but
not cutting all the way through. This may take some practice to do
well.
- Fold printed faces toward each other along red dashed lines and
release to make a supporting base. Fold backsides toward each other
along gray dashed lines and cement or glue the backsides together.
- Break out your favorite space combat rules & minis, and have at
it!
