In this thread I will post up info for Clash, James, Zach and any who are interested for the adventure I will be runnign at Gen Con.

Operation : Obelisk
The Merchant Armed Services have been recruited to recover information from an archeological team declared overdue. The following photo was the first view of the probe Iranis sent five years ago. It is of the planet Kierant and its small moon Deikos with the Kiera Second neutron star in the back ground. Not pictured is the partner in the Binary star system, Kiera Prime, a red giant. Kierant is the only viable planet in the system and the Kiera (G-233) system is littered with the remains of her sister planet. Navigation will be dangerous and difficult due to the debris as well as the size of the material ranging from microscopic to planetoids.

Kierant itself is pleasant when not bombarded by meteors or comets. Temperatures range from 0 to 33 degrees Celsius. Most of the planet is covered in a variety of tree and plant life but no indigenous animals. The atmosphere is close to Standard with a rich oxygen balance.

The Iranis probe detected faint radiation readings concurrent with a latent MAM reactor. When closer survey scans revealed mound structures and a possible underground structure, a manned survey team was dispatched by InterStar, the trading and development firm who owned the rights and probe. For the past three years the the team has studied the ruins discovered there and according tot heir last report, believe them to be an outpost of the Thri T'Kree, an ancient race that dominated the Nebuleos in the First Millennium. They were declared overdue on their last check in two days ago. Nine hours ago an emergency beeper went off and the M.A.S. Noble, your ship, is the closest ship to the system.

More details and maps to follow.

You're in the Marines, now, sucker. Can't back out now!

First PC of the team on the M.A.S. Noble, Raghi Charum Banu. He is a Kirin, so his family name is Charum and his use name is Banu. He is a Raghi which is equivalent to about a Sargent in the U.S. military. He is part of the marine detachment and the entire ship is a Search and Rescue vessel. Generated on the CHARGen.

I will have more, including maps and mission details coming soon.

Stellar cartography has been able to clean up the images from the probe. Thanks go out to specialist Quire for his initiative and effort on the part of this mission.

No need for any thanks, sir. The resolution of the initial scan was high enough for the imaging AI to mostly take care of it. Just needed a little nudge.

- Q

Shon Inin is the Psi Corps officer on the Noble and will be accompanying you on your mission. He is a Tessreck Gren and comes from a wealthy family.

Another PC for players to choose from.

More information on the original expedition of archaeologists and their discoveries. More to follow.

Those are some sweet shots of the world. What do you use?

Fractal Terrain and a lot of photoshop. It is not as hard as you might think. I am self taught. Quire cleaned it up nicely though, thanks to him for that.

Edit: Oh, and the map is generated out of FT pro and processed through CC2 then hit up with some special effects from Photoshop.

The map did look like CC2/FT combos (spin some myself), but the space images looked a bit snazzier than what I'm currently capable of.

Niiiice, Bill!

Thanks Clash. I will be posting more as it comes available. There is no FTL communication in the Nebuleos so we need to rely on couriers.
