Smash 'n Grab: Overview

From SSDC, Inc.

Game Scenario: Smash 'n Grab
Place: Coandas ‘A5-F33E-O56 (Hex: 1450)
Past planetary history: 530 yrs ago Coandas was occupied by the Phentari, the world as a whole was annexed and turned over to the Orionist Mercantile Guild after the Eridine War.
This world is at the tale end of a major trading route in the Industrial Providence, plus they also have Starbase 391 orbiting its third planet Coandas. The world is a sub-artic icy ball with a small number of large cities, and many smaller settlements hosting mostly Orion, human, and gen-human (90%) races.
The only Spaceport is Mac Doyle’s outside of Scott’s Burrow city (the largest of the planetary cities), and there is still an unofficial flight of Manta 1’s (6 single seat fighters) of the IBF ported at the spaceport.

Story Lead

This mission takes place in the middle of a Scott’s Burrow city close to the Mac Doyle’s star port. It also is a follow up MOD to 'Cold Place'
(NOTE: this scenario is offered as an idea generator, as a BM you need to gauge how your players will respond and adjust accordingly)

BM’s Plot twists:

1) Just short of a month ago there was a news report about some grain silos in one of the rule towns out on the ice tundra exploding, the local news feeds said it was an accident caused by a faulty electronic and an excess of grain dust.

The news report was followed up an hour later by a hacked transmission. A group called Black Monday claming the dreaded methane breathers had struck down there brothers and that they will seek vengeance for the slain.

2) Three weeks prier to this jobs current posting a Faction of Black Monday (a Gen-human/Orion terrorist group in ‘NML’) hit the air guards fuel depot at the spaceport. The air wing is exclusive comprised of the 320th Mercury-divers (a Phentari IFN base). There was one death and five wounded, and this put heckles up on the quid’s and the spaceport security personnel.

3) (notes from 'Cold Place' MOD) Do to an influx of merc teams brought in to counter a gang infestation in one of the larger outlying towns the number of jobs available is getting scarce for trained gunmen. Almost six weeks earlier a call went out for help and it is just now that all the cleanup teams are being released from service, there is at least one or two teams (2 to 8 loose merc’s) found at any one time in the local Madd Mike’s looking for work. Good jobs are getting scarce with all the groups running about, some with there own rides of one type or another.
