  This session was run on January 19, 2023. This session marked the start of the Far Horizon portion of our campaign. This portion of the campaign takes place in 2100 AD. It is set in a pre-interstellar Sol system. The Far Horizon is a deep space research vessel (DRV) built to facilitate humanity’s first manned mission to Pluto. Like the Mars section of our campaign, this section takes place at a lower tech level than the Traveller norm. The Far Horizon uses a nuclear thermal rocket and relies on rotating spin sections for internal gravity. The DRV’s crew of twelve had a planned mission consisting of a two year trip to Pluto in cryo sleep, a month on Pluto, and a two year return trip. The Far Horizon launched as planned and the crew entered cryo sleep a few weeks after departing. CASS, the ship’s AI, woke the crew up 18 months later to tell them that the mission had been changed. The Earth Space Development Agency (ESDA) had redirected them to Tartarus, a ro...

They entered the smoke filled hut to find “Athena Rain” lounging on a bean bag smoking from a complicated, water-filled device. The room was sparsely decorated with only a small, mostly empty bookshelf, some clothes hanging on a rack, and another beaded curtain on the far wall. The walls had been painted in garish colors similar to those seen on the outside of the hut. They did not waste time and quickly established that she was, in fact, Jessica Zhen. Zarf informed her that he was here to take possession of The Prismatic Ray pursuant to his detached duty status. She expressed surprise that the Scout Service had moved her to retired status, claiming that she was actively working on a project here on Twinsong. When pressed on this, she explained that she had encountered a Gaia planet in the Solomani Rim while still on active duty....

Twinsong (Kushga/Diaspora 1219, E85A544-9 Ni Wa): Until recently, Twinsong was corporate controlled. Falling profits due to the war caused the corporation to go bankrupt and the residents were left to fend for themselves. Before the bankruptcy, Twinsong had a Class C orbital starport, but it was liquidated in order to settle the company’s debts. While the skeleton of the highport remains, it is essentially non-functional and Twinsong is forced to rely on the dirtside landing facility that is minimally staffed by the nascent local government. Large scale settlement of this water world began about a century ago when Briny Bounty, a seafood corporation, decided it was ripe for conversion to a fish farm. Prior to this, the world was only of interest to scientists studying the pseudo-cetacean Luvelo’s Grampus. These borderline sentien...

    This is part of an ongoing campaign. You can find the other sessions over on the sidebar. This session was run on February 23, 2023.   This session we created characters for the next phase of the campaign. This part of the campaign takes place concurrently with the Archdukes section of the campaign during the rebellion following the assassination of Emperor Strephon in 1116. This section will feature more traditional Traveller characters who have recently been discharged from their earlier careers and are now finding their own way in an Imperium in flames. It will take place in the Diaspora Sector, part of the Domain of Sol and an area standing on the precipice of unimaginable violence between the various factions of the rebellion. We will begin play on 001-1118 on the planet Twinsong, a water world in the Kushga subsector. The characters: Aryanna: She has bounced around between many careers including some time in the Navy as a medic and workin...

This portion of the campaign uses Zozer Games excellent Outpost Mars setting for Cepheus Engine. 0830 This session began with Mildra and Romilius in the drill site control room with Zalph, Lukas, Hunter, and Alder in the chambers below. The exploration team had just informed Mildra and Romilius that they intended to explore further down a passageway that would take them beyond communications range. After a brief discussion, they decided that they could trust Romilius enough to allow Mildra to join the others below. Mildra used the winch to descend through the bore shaft and at 0900 th...

She told them that the city's security needs were fairly minor, so they did not have a sophisticated alarm system and the same alarm went off for almost any incident. The locals usually ignored it unless further instructions were given over the PA system. Based on this, they decided to head back to 10wPink.   On the way, they ...
