I can promise terror, glory, and riches...or a quick and brutal death.

How to find a Million (Mongoose Traveller; 1137)

#1 Post by BackworldTraveller »

The Million Subsector is part of the Deneb Sector that was abandoned by the Regency after the fall of the Imperium. A few unfortunates were left to fend for themselves against the Vargr while other, more intrepid individuals deliberately stayed behind with the aim of being the largest fish in the smaller pond.

The stage was set for a clash between various Vargr States, Regency (Imperial) Agents of multiple ex-imperial factions, Independents, Refugees, and desperados. The borders moved with rapidity; the opportunities appeared, vanished and re-appeared with little pattern. Millions were made, lost and buried.

I'm looking for players to fill the key slots aboard a vessel that has been lost by the Imperial Navy's Corridor Fleet to the Vargr (Dzarrgh Federate), who have managed (in turn) to lose it too.

Transport will be provided by their patron - a Vargr Historian/Scrounger

Characters should include:-
  • Pilot(s)
  • Astrogator(s)
  • Engineer(s)
and will need to recruit their aides and helpers.
n.b. Ship Shares awarded during character creation will NOT be for ships easily accessible. SCOUT or other vessels normally allocated will be similarly inaccessible - though receipt may be indicative of various associated commitments.

Character Races will be limited to those usually found in the Deneb or Corridor Sectors (although other races may be acceptable with a suitable background explanation as to how they got there. i.e. Hivers or K'kree probably need not apply.)

Characters who don't speak Gvegh and/or Aekhu and/or Anglic will be provided with appropriate translator software.

Yes, Yes and Yes.

Though I'd need a good explanation of why the latter two are so far from home. It's a long way from a Zhodani colony and single Zhodani aren't always Sane by Zhodani standards. I may have to insist in both cases that the final term is in a non-Military career from the Imperial (main rulebook) career track

If you want to see the dice put a "_" at the front:

[_3d6]=(4+4+5)=13
