Then i thought its wargames designed to enhance interservice cooperation. So maybe several militias send ships as well as a Space Fleet patrol group and Fortress Redoubt and a squadron of fighters based off of it. Mix and match of ships from various sourse into opposing forces. Combat is simulated. Computers effect perfomance of craft etc and rule crew members casualties. Inbetween KH scenarios AD style encounters heppen on the station. Since the sathar famously invaded White Light in the clinax of WoWL module that battle is basis for one simulation. The opposing force will be computer adjusted to appear to be sathar vessels. Royal Marines are hosts but bragging rights are on the line. There may be a defector from the Hentz militia looking to flee the oppressive regime of the Fo1. The Religious Officer on that ships crew (think Soviet era Political Officer) will demand his return- maybe its a "wet foot / dry foot" situation that the Cuban refugees faced with the US Coast Guard caught on water- returned to Cuba caught on land stay in america. The defector must get to Clarion surface or be returned to his crew. I might not be a dralasite, vrusk or yazirian but I do play one in Star Frontiers! |

Murder: a dabo dancer dralasite is found murdered and a militia or Space Fleet crew member is implicated but he/she/it professes innocence. Another RM officer investigation. I might not be a dralasite, vrusk or yazirian but I do play one in Star Frontiers! |
