Fragged Empire 2

The Ghost Ship Carthage  

Adventure Background: 

As the crucible of the Great War consumed the Archon Empire with impunity, its searing heat gradually melted the Archons’ ironclad ethics to slag. The Carthage began as a medical ship on a mission of mercy to the Kaltorans of Haven, but as the Archons’ cause grew every more desperate, she received a dread new purpose: harvest Kaltoran refugees, and Nephilim prisoners of war to develop new bio-weaponry for immediate deployment on the front. The ensuing experiments yielded a deadly nano-virus, Kormoria, which sowed death and madness among crew and captive alike. Shortly after VESPER force Gamma breached the Carthage, the vessel’s Archon master, Solaria, either in the grips of madness, or in a vain gambit to save the rest of Haven from Kormoria, charted a course into a vast uncharted region of space…

Now, 108 years after its lonely sojourn, a homing beacon on the Carthage pilots her back to the Haven system. The derelict ship floats between trade routes, emitting a weak distress beacon, and remains unresponsive to all hails. The Players take on the role of down-on-their luck salvagers in a ship that barely flies – they need a big payday. When the call goes out to investigate the ghost ship, most put sense before greed and stay away from the job. But the Players don’t have the luxury of turning down a job as lucrative as this one.

Warnings: 

Some horror themes (violence, tension, bump-in-the-dark style).
