The mining operation on Alcazzar was one of the Frontier’s best-kept secrets, worth millions of credits - until somebody wiped it out. Now you’re here, to set things right.
BACK COVER
You press against the steel
hatchway as the explorer bounds
up the river bank, out of the
water. Over the roar of the
engines comes the unmistakable
whine of a high-performance
groundcar. Quickly, you scan the
horizon. At first the plain appears
empty. Then you see them.
“Bandits at 11 o’clock. Three of them!” you shout into your
chronocom. Instantly, the driver slams the heavy explorer
into reverse, backing down the bank for cover. The rear
doors burst open as Rocton dashes out to set up a heavy
laser. Harradd, the Yazirian, follows right behind carrying
five power beltpacks. Already someone is handing extra
ammo up to you.
At 80 kph, those ground cars are closing fast. Targeting the
lead car, you squeeze the trigger and a rocket flashes out of
the tube. At the same instant a shell streaks past you,
exploding in the river and spraying steam into the air.
You came to Alcazzar on a tough mission – it just got a lot
tougher.
