PROLOGUE:
This is a Proto-Traveller game using either The Traveller Book or LBB1-3 and is set 300 years after the fall of the Imperium.

One large interstellar government is a footnote in history, having long ago passed into irrelevance. From your history class, the Empire grew too large to govern effectively and too corrupt to survive, eventually collapsing under the weight of its totalitarian excesses. For 100 years, trade slowed to a trickle and stopped. For the next 100 years worlds adapted to living on their own. For the last 100 years, some worlds have started to claw back to the stars. The courage of the people of the three great Republics (Strouden, Lunion and Tenalphi) allowed the Triad Council of Worlds to form the 14 world Star Confederation and survive with their local interstellar trade and technology intact.

Hofud, one of the independent former Sword Worlds, recently attacked a Star Confederation humanitarian mission on the independent world of Steel. For strategic and political reasons, the Star Confederation will be invading the Biter system on around day 30 of the game. The heroes are on active duty and have been sent in ahead of the invasion on a vital support mission whose details are known only to the Scout Pilot (Robert).
