* SpiritualLicensee: Despite predating the movie by several years, with it's focus on misfit antiheroes in a space opera setting, it has been compared to ''Film/GuardiansOfTheGalaxy''. And with the default setup having the player's as expendable couriers delivering the worst cargoes, ''WesternAnimation/{{Futurama}}''. Especially if the campaign plays up the comedic elements.

The default setting is a galaxy split between two major superpowers - the theocratic Devalkamanchan Republic and the oppressive Saldrallan Empire, divided by a broad band of unaligned worlds known as the Frontier Zone, chock-full of smugglers, pirates, crime lords and all sorts of lawless dealings. Players take on the role of characters desperate to make money, hired by major corporations for extremely dangerous jobs.

The Fate Core edition can be obtained digitally on [[https://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/166518/Bulldogs-Fate-Core-Edition DriveThruRPG]] and [[https://www.galileogames.com/product/bulldogs-/11 the publisher's website]].

!!''Bulldogs!'' contains examples of:
* CatFolk: Ryjyllians, a feline warrior race native to the ice planet of Ryjyl (hence their thick fur). This is even woven into gameplay with the "Cat-Like Everything" aspect.
* TheEmpire: The Union of the Saldralla fills this role with a desire for peace and order at any cost, even throuh means such as either destroying or assimilating those they perceive as outside threats.
* HealingFactor: Hacragorkans can receive the "Quick Healers" ability, which allows them to recover physical consequences as if they were one consequence level lower than they are.
* HumanAliens: Arsubarans, who have a wider variation in appearance than humans in aspects such as skin tone, hair and eye colour. Their prominence throughout the galaxy is justified with the fact that they were one of the earliest dominant species in the galaxy to discover space travel, and ended up spreading much faster.
* HumansAreSpecial: Brought up from their persepctive with the Arsubaran aspect, "Center Of The Universe". Their high numbers throughout the galaxy and the cultural influence that comes with this certainly helps with this image.
* MasterComputer: Infocity, a moon-sized computer tended to by an order of acolytes, which exists for the purpose of gathering and storing information.
* MasterRace: The Templari Empire, who believe that every other species exists solely for the purpose of serving them. Hence the "Superior Species" aspect.
* ProudWarriorRaceGuy: Hacragorkans, to the point where a typical species ability for them is "Pugnacious" which plays into their ability to start fights. Justified in that the planet Hacragorka has so few natural resources that they evolved into a society that has to fight for what they want, even just for the fun of it.
* SnakePeople: Saldrallans, of the "serpentine tail and head, humanoid upper torso" variety.
* WellIntentionedExtremist: The Saldrallan Empire, particularly through the "Peace at any Cost" aspect, which gives a compel example of the Empire's authorities starting to bring the strong arm of the law down over what was supposedly a bar brawl. The Empire will go to ruthless extents to achieve a peaceful life for its citizens.
