To determine the safety and potential efficacy of reduced intensity conditioning with fludarabine/cyclophosphamide/low-dose total body irradiation (TBI) and allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) for the stabilization or regression of disease manifestations of severe systemic sclerosis (SSc). SECONDARY OBJECTIVES: I. To determine whether stable allogeneic donor engraftment can be safely established with reduced intensity conditioning followed by matched sibling or unrelated donor bone marrow transplantation in patients with severe SSc. OUTLINE: Patients receive fludarabine phosphate intravenously (IV) on days -6, -5, -4, -3 and -2 and Cyclophosphamide IV on days -6, -5, and undergo 2 Gray TBI on day -1. Patients receive human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-matched donor bone marrow transplantation on day 0. Patients then receive cyclophosphamide IV on days +3 and +4, and beginning day +5 they start tacrolimus orally (PO) and enteric coated mycophenolic acid. After completion of initial study treatment, patients are followed up at 6 months and then annually for 5 years.2d:T1b99,Inclusion Criteria: * Patients eligible for the study must have a human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-identical sibling or HLA-matched unrelated bone marrow donor available and willing to donate. * Patients with severe SSc as defined by the American College of Rheumatology and at high-risk for a fatal outcome based on the following prognostic factors in groups 1-5: * Group 1: Patients must have 1) both a and b below; and 2) at least one of c, d or e: * a. diffuse cutaneous scleroderma with skin score of greater than or equal to 16 (modified Rodnan scale \[mRSS\]). * b. duration of systemic sclerosis less than or equal to 7 years from the onset of first non-Raynaud's symptom. * c. presence of interstitial lung disease (either forced vital capacity \[FVC\] or corrected diffusing capacity of the lung for carbon monoxide \[DLCOcorr\] less than 70 % of predicted) and evidence of alveolitis (abnormal bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) or high resolution chest computed tomography \[CT\] scan) after treatment with intravenous cyclophosphamide greater than or equal 2 grams given over at least a 3 month period; for patients not able to adequately complete pulmonary function tests (PFT), there must be evidence of progressive disease on chest CT. * d. left heart failure with left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) \< 50% (that has responded to treatment targeted to scleroderma); 2nd or 3rd atrioventricular (AV) block with other evidence of cardiomyopathy related to SSc; myocardial disease not secondary to SSc must be excluded by a cardiologist. * e. history of SSc-related renal disease that is not active at the time of screening; history of scleroderma hypertensive renal crisis is included in this criterion. * Group 2: Progressive pulmonary disease as defined by a decrease in the FVC or DLCOcorr by 15 percent or greater compared to a prior FVC or DLCOcorr in the previous twelve month period; in addition, patients may have either less skin involvement than group 1 (mRSS less than 16) and the FVC or DLCOcorr is less than 70% or both FVC and DLCOcorr greater than or equal to 70% if they have diffuse cutaneous disease (mRSS greater than 16) at screening for the study; patients must also have evidence of alveolitis as defined by abnormal chest CT or BAL; for patients not able to adequately complete PFT, there must be evidence of progressive disease on chest CT. * Group 3: Have progressive active SSc after prior autologous transplant based on the presence of progressive pulmonary disease; this will be defined by a decrease in the FVC or DLCO adjusted since prior autologous transplant of 15 percent or greater of the pre-transplant percent predicted value, in addition to evidence of alveolitis as defined by chest CT changes or BAL. If patients had prior autologous HCT on the "Scleroderma: Cyclophosphamide Or Transplantation" (SCOT) clinical trial, they must have failed based on the defined study endpoints and be approved by the protocol principal investigator (PI). * Group 4: Patients who meet group 1 inclusion criteria but may have FVC or DLCO-adjusted less than 70% plus have had an adverse event on cyclophosphamide preventing its further use (specifically hemorrhagic cystitis, leukopenia with white blood cell \[WBC\]\< 2000 or absolute neutrophil count \[ANC\] \< 1000 or platelet count \< 100,000). * Group 5: Diffuse scleroderma with disease duration less than or equal to 2 years since development of first sign of skin thickening plus modified Rodnan skin score greater than or equal to 25 plus erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) \> 25 mm/1st hour and/or hemoglobin (Hb) \< 11 g/dL, not explained by causes other than active scleroderma. * Unless patients have a DLCO-adjusted less than 45%, patients in all groups must have failed either oral or intravenous cyclophosphamide regimen defined as: IV cyclophosphamide administration for at least \> 3 months between first and last cyclophosphamide dose at a total cumulative IV dose of at least 2 grams, oral cyclophosphamide administration for \> 4 months regardless of dose, or combination of oral and IV cyclophosphamide for at least \> 6 months independent of dose. * DONOR: HLA genotypically identical sibling or unrelated donor;
