Exciting Space Adventures in the Star Frontier!

The Frontier, this sector of the Eroc-verse borders the strange Quadrant known as Q44. The fringe of explored space where many factions struggle for control of resources and ancient alien technologies.

It is on the planet Pale, in the Truane's Star system that our tale begins. A planetary rescue/survey team has been assembled for a mission to a newly discovered nearby star system designation: ZEBULON.

The Zebulon system is the second step in the ambitious efforts to secure a trade route through the Xagyg dust nebula. The first survey team has been out of contact since entering the system, and the Pan-Galactic Corporation. has authorized a second ship to be dispatched to trace the first. The primary mission of the new team is to complete the mapping of a clear and safe star route to the Zebulon system and the survey of the only habitable planet Volturnus. The secondary mission is to regain contact with and or aid the first survey team.

S.F. Serena Dawn

The team has boarded the S.F. Serena Dawn, a PGC owned freighter. The steward has shown you to your quarters. Surprisingly the company has outfitted the team with First Class cabins. This is quite the treat for you as your typical Grade 1 employees tend to travel by Cryo-tube in Journey Class. Though the steward placed all weapons and power packs in the weapons locker you were allowed to take non-weapon tool kits to your cabin. The trip from Truane's Star to Zebulon will take five days in hyper-space so you have time to get to know your teammates before the true work begins. The ship has a gym, an alpha-chamber, and Tri-D entertainment couches for your use.

Tri-D couch

Need some game-time, or just want to catch up on the latest news and favorite holo-shows. Sit back and enjoy it all in a Tri-D couch.

Relax in the Alpha-chamber

When the day has just been to stressful, or you want to just get away from it all the Alpha-Chamber will set you straight.

The galley

Nothing like a hot Caff and plate of thoks to take the edge off. All the protein and none of the goo from this A.I.-kitchen. Just tell it what you want and in seconds the Holo-Chef will whip it up, just like mom used to.

 "Attention all passengers, this is your Captain. We are preparing to leave the Truan'es Star headed for the planet Volturnus in the Zebulon system. This trip should take five days in hyper-space, during which you may do as you wish. The Cargo-pods will not be accessible until we are in orbit of Volturnus. All data currently known about the planet and system has been uploaded to the data-terms in your cabins."

PGC Mission Report:

 The Zebulon star system was first investigated 2 years ago by unmanned probes launched by the Pan-Galactic Corp. exploration division on Pale. The probes indicated that Volturnus was the only habitable planet in the system. It also indicated high percentages of molybednum, tungsten, gold and other heavy metals. The exploration of a safe star route through the Xagyg dust nebula to the system began one year ago.

The first manned expedition to Volturnus launched 3 weeks ago. The four member team of specialists aboard the S.F. New Day was instructed to set up and outpost, gather data on the possibilities of colonization and mining of Volturnus, and report back

After passing into the star system and beaming back course charts to navigate the nebula, the starship, crew, and specialists were not heard from again. The four members of the PGC team were:

Commander Louis Jameson: Ex Military Scout, combat veteran, commander of two previous successful missions for PGC.

Geeko-sur-Mang: (Yazirian) Professor of Geology. Authority on geophysics and planetary crust formation.

Itiklikdil: (Vrusk) cartographer, experienced explorer on loan from Atlas Guild for rights to produce maps of Volturnus.

Grod: (Dralasite) Truane's Star Civil Service, colony developer. 

Upon arrival in orbit around Volturnus your Team will be shuttled to the surface with all appropriate gear to set up a base of operations from which you will follow mission parameters as stated before. The Serena Dawn will stay in orbit for one week before departing back to Pale for resupply.
