According to Wikipedia:
"In 2007 Holistic Design licensed Fading Suns to RedBrick, and in 2012 the license passed to FASA Games, Inc, which released a revised edition of Fading Suns later that year."
If memory serves, there was more to the story. The lead designer created a bunch of new material, but for some reason he was let go. They decided not to use his work, made some minor changes, and released the revised edition.
Shortly thereafter, the designer intended to release a generic version of the rules he created. I once knew his name, the system's name, and I even signed up on his website. However, I've long since forgotten everything. The best I can recall is the system had an astronomical ring to it, like eclipse or solstice. Does anyone have any more info?
I'm not interested in reigniting a controversy. I'm interested in what happened with the generic system, since it seemed to have promise.
