Did your group roll up ball bearings, a high fashion dress, vrusk art work? 

Suggest a new item to find on the Serena Dawn. Doesn't have to be in the cargo hold. 

I might not be a dralasite, vrusk or yazirian but I do play one in Star Frontiers!

1 box of "recreational" videos including all 7 parts of the "Sathar Love Slave" series.  *evil*

That would be from deposed TS Exploration Force General Manuel Noriega's private collection.


FUN FACT - a high school friend of mine who joined the armed forces shortly after graduation was part of the ground force that stormed Noriega's home. The good general had a private room --- by my friend's description it was a huge room that could easily house a family of four --- packed full of obscure porn videos featuring beastiality, under-age "actors", foot fetish, and just about every other "unconventional" form of sex imaginable...with nary a single video copy featuring conventional porn.

Noriega was definitely a sick puppy.
I'm not overly fond of Zeb's Guide...nor do I have any qualms stating why. Tongue out

Yes but before his indictment for drug trafficking he was our dick puppy. It would stretch the imagination to believe the CIA didn't know about his darker side while he was their most valuable asset.

With the full context in mind, I couldn't have come up with a better choice of words.

Autocorrect got that one right it seems.

Side story from Panama: The Rangers were trying to enter one of Noriega's houses and were confronted by a locked front door.  Not having the key, and being the decisive guys that they are, they quickly improvised a lockpick: a LAW rocket.  After that, the informal nickname for LAW rockets became "Ranger keys". Cool

LOL, should use that in the Frontier; Ground Fleet Keys, Militia Keys, or Vrusk Keys

Not sure who told you about ranger keys but I think they were telling you a tall tale. Retired Army Infantry here and was active during the Panama Invasion and never heard of this. Tried to find it online and not there (although the Legendary Power Rangers Keys was).

The M72 Light Anti-Tank Weapon has a minimum arming distance of 10 meters. So your Rangers went up to the door found it was locked. Backed up 33 feet at least probably more to avoid the flying wood and mortar chips and fired an anti-tank weapon INSTEAD of doing as their training says and use a window or maybe the backdoor?

Could have happened but knowing how soldiers like to talk I am voting for not.
Sounds like a great job but where did you say we had to go?

I read it in a biography about SF a few years ago.

Okay I will stand corrected on that one. Still an anti-tank rocket for a glass door from a Tom Clancy novel?

Not a novel.  Non-fiction book.

A rare "vintage" of fungus bug from Kdikit, Madderly's Star. Worth 500-1000 Cr since fungus bugs are no longer produced there since the Free World Rebellion.
