Belters

It would be nice if Mongoose made that section, or the original 2016 2e pdf available to owners of the revision, though.

No. Nah. No. No one should want this.
There is nothing of substance there. The community advocated for its removable in the 2022 refresh. It just took up page space, for nothing. It was 100 percent not worth engaging with. It didnt help make stories interesting, or make any stories.
Its only slightly better than the removal of the crypto computers from HG, because belter section, isnt crypto.
Neither isnt worthwhile though.

Just because you don't find belting engaging, does not mean there aren't players that use it or that it isn't worth engaging with. Just a couple of months ago my travellers had a mission to locate a specific type of asteroid and had to deal with pirates and man-eating asteroid cave worms that they caught and sold on the black market as a side bonus.

I concur, I just read it and there is absolutely nothing wrong with the rules, they are actually pretty good for Asteroid Belt shenanigans, possibly not appropriate for High Guard sure, but the rules as they were presented would make a wonderful base for a 2e Beltstrike, or just being release as a PDF rule expansion!

The reason I used the Aliens moniker, is because lots of races would be belters, and it's more of a culture.
