Hello
I originally liked the world and the idea of Earth v Mars v the Belters.
I wanted the players to be a UN patrol team, and then could have an encounter with the MCN.
So I have decided that the Pcs are working for a large company called SYSGEN which has outposts looking for the next big thing, and has patrol ships protecting their resources.
A synopsis reads as follows
Episodes
(Cutscene) The Late Shift
Summary:
There is a vicious attack on refinery outpost 357 Delta in the “slow end of space” Westernia system. The attack is by an unknown and unidentifiable assailant. Only a limited message is received by deep space rescue services.
Cutscene is given to the players as a short story
1. Welcome aboard The Drake
Summary:
Patrol cruiser “Francis Drake III” is responding to a distress call to help divert an asteroid and make it miss a small populated moon. Once the moon is safe they receive orders investigate outpost 357 Delta.
2. “Some real work”
Summary:
The wreckage is extensive and during an away mission which require environment suits, the crew discover encrypted recordings as well as items of material that they cannot recognise and the body of an SynGen scientist who was last recorded as being in the Homeworld system. The Drake is attacked and damaged by an unknown enemy which is escaping from the wreckage. The Drake is ordered to salvage as much of the material and return to the nearest Applied Sciences base.
3. Friends and Allies (so to speak of)
Summary:
Whilst at Applied Sciences, the crew are treated extremely badly, and quarantined for a short period. The Captain is made aware of some classified information about the attack and ordered not to disclose this information.
