From the adventure background: a Star*Drive mini-scenario The heroes discover a hostile infiltration of a remote mining settlement and eliminate a growing External menace to the system. The encounter presents different levels of challenge appropriate for a pre-generated or starting group (assorted characters equipped with light weapons and a civilian vessel, such as a trader) or more capable parties (one or more characters trained with heavy weapons or body tanks and a ship with better maneuverability and weapons, such as a considerably modified trader, or a scout similar to CSS Shrike as described in Red Starrise).
