 Every scene in the 102 universe — whether a filthy saloon on the [[dark_side|Dark Side]] or a Federal facility in the [[habitual_belt|Habitual Belt]] follows the same core structure.  Rather than forcing a fixed order of events, the template focuses on interactivity: each location comes alive through its NPCs, environmental cues, and the players’ own actions.
-The 102 Scene Template is part of the *Phase 01* Pen & Paper framework and can be freely used for homebrew creation under the Open Game Licence.   For deeper lore, every section can link to related wiki pages (NPCs, weapons, planets, or institutions).

 | At scene conclusion | Ezrah leans back. “Seven days,” she reminds quietly. “That clock already started.” |
