If anyone here knows the Traveller system, we're going to be running a first time campaign (new to me as NPC wrangler assistant to the GM).
Our first mission is set aboard a Rama sized System Compliance System, the Rumsfeld class ship Regime Change. System Compliance Systems are designed to take away the 'home advantage' when pacifying a planetary system, by delivering a continent-worth of firepower, troops, and manufacturing capacity. A Rumsfeld is a creature of pre-Imperial myth that would speak in riddles then strike down people at random by staring at them.
The players will be required to sort out an issue with manufacturing of a product.
I don't want to go into spoilers, but I'm going to need some:
- workers
- a couple of interesting agents provocateur
- some ship's marines
- a squad of aliens
- some gangsters
