Scenario 4 for Five Parsecs From Home 2nd edition offers up a new breed of creatures to fight in the depths of space, suspiciously silent colonies and abandoned outposts. 10 new encounters are included, which can be met randomly in a regular campaign or deliberately sought out. Each features a new creature type with description and nasty new abilities, offering a tough challenge for a battle-hardened party of characters. Mechanics have also been included for possible additional rewards and even follow up missions as interested organizations pay you to go back in for them. —description from the publisher
