Stars Without Number - Eclipse Phase

So I thought I would try and do a pretty simple conversion of Eclipse Phase over to the great Stars Without Number system, and I've got a good portion of it done.

Good portion, you say? But EP is huge! Yes, but I'm trying to convert the setting rather than the mechanics. So I'm not going to throw in new Psi mechanics when SWN has a perfectly fine Psychic class, and I'm not going to write a dissertation on post-singularity tech when most of it has a soft analogue in SWN. I will be addressing things such as Forking, Merging and so on, but those are important to the setting. To get the most out of these notes, you're going to need the Transhuman Tech supplement for SWN, as well as the hacking rules in Polychrome.

Character Creation

Character creation functions as normal, except when you get to choosing backgrounds and training packs. EP has these in the form of Backgrounds and Factions, but they can be taken by any class. However, there will be a "remainder" of skills for each class that a character can pick out from their class skill list. Psychics get two more choices, Warriors 4 more, and Experts 6 more.

Each faction also has a Rep associated with it. When using the Status rules from Transhuman Tech, the Rep corresponds which of the various social networks you start with a Status of 1 in. @-Rep is for autonomists, c-Rep is for hypercorps, e-Rep is for ecologists, f-Rep is for media, g-Rep is for criminals, i-Rep is for Firewall, and r-Rep is for scientists.

In addition, every character starts out with either Culture/Spacer, Culture/Traveller or Culture/World, depending on where they currently live.

Skill Changes

Some skills have changed, most notably Culture and Tech, which have new specializations.

Culture does not have the Alien specialty, but instead the Hypercorp specialty. Tech basically lacks all the current specializations except for Astronautic. The new specialiations include Morph (deals with healing and repair of "meat bodies"), Psyche (deals with Psychosurgery, Mesh and Psi), Alien (deals with alien technology like Gates), and Synth (deals with Synthmorphs and most other mechanical items/vehicles).
