I'm looking for a sci-fi rpg that doesn't use the normal solar system
I want stars and planets but more sci-fi than based off of real science

What rules do I use for this?

Star Frontiers plays fairly loose with star systems. Just place them however and all that really counts is the distance and travel time getting from A to B. Planetside you can do whatever. Earth standard? Pretty common apparently. Slightly hazardous, requiring a breather or suit? Also can do.

Spelljammer is the other one. You can lay out solar systems in all sorts of ways.

d6 Star Wars - about as science fantasy as you can get.

Starfinder plays pretty fast and loose with Stars and Planets and has a lot of support as well.

er. SPI's Universe leans heavily to hard fiction for its solar system gen. And its damn good too! I use it for Star Frontiers. In fact aside from the Psi powers Universe on a whole leans heavily to the hard fiction.

Check out Seven Worlds for Savage Worlds. Looks nifty to me!

All hard sci-fi means is that you wear space helmets is all. They are optional in SPI's Universe.
