GURPS Terradyne is an original worldbook for GURPS. It is a future history suitable for a Hard Science Fiction campaign, in the tradition of stories by Robert A. Heinlein, Lester Del Ray and Ben Bova or the manga/anime Planetes. Technology has moved man out into space but not out of the solar system yet. Mars is being terraformed but isn't fully habitable yet. Terradyne, a space-based corporate state, dominates but does not have exclusive control of space-based industries.
It was superseded by the Transhuman Space series which covers the same niche. Some material on Mars was incorporated into Transhuman Space: In The Well.
