QREBS is a technological acronym describing the values of Quality, Reliability, Ease of Use, Burden, and Safety for any manufactured object found within Charted Space. [1]

  • Objects vary widely in quality and usefulness. This variation gives seemingly identical objects a variety of positive and negative attributes. The QREBS system details these differences.[2]

Description (Specifications)[edit]

QREBS is used for describing two things: first, the characteristics of a device, similar to the characteristics of a player character; second, the production characteristics of a factory producing those devices.

In the latter case, factories have QREBS settings, and therefore, the devices they produce will have those characteristics.

Manufacturing Quality Basic Parameters[edit]

QREBS stands for:
