Prologue: Intrigue on the Imperial Rim

The year is 1107 by the Imperial Calendar, a time of shifting alliances, looming threats, and boundless opportunities in the vast expanse of space. In the Flammarion system of the Spinward Marches Sector, where the stars whisper tales of ancient mysteries and untold riches, a new chapter is about to unfold for a group of intrepid Travellers.

You are members of the Scouts Auxiliary, are private contractors registered with the Imperial Interstellar Scout Service (IISS). Your expertise in exploration, reconnaissance, and retrieval missions has earned you a reputation as reliable and resourceful operatives, capable of navigating the complexities of the Imperial Rim.

A request for a meeting about a contract from Senior Scout Leader Rutherford Menser has brough you to the headquarters at IISS Waystation in Flammarion.

We join our intrepid crew of Travellers out here on the Imperial Rim. What perils await our Travellers? Political intrigues, rival factions, and cosmic anomalies all lurk out there. You will encounter allies and adversaries and perhaps uncover long-buried secrets. Our journey begins in Flammarior but where will take us?
