=High Noon on the Warworld of Alshain= [[Image:Alshain IV.jpg|thumb|Alshain IV]] ; Game System : [http://www.morriganrpg.com/ Terran Trade Authority] ; Pitch : Forty-two light years from Earth, and the TTA, the crew of the Epsilon Tiger find a world ravaged by an ancient war. Did everyone die in one massive apocalypse or are there survivors somewhere on this devastated world of Alshain V? But beyond that, this world is rich with alien technology, something that the crew of the Epsilon Tiger could turn around and sell at Proxima, or one of the other less than legal ports. Care to find out what awaits you on the Warworld of Alshain? ::<blockquote style="background:aliceblue; border:1px solid black; padding:1em">I based this adventure on the original story that was published in the TTA book: [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terran_Trade_Authority#SpaceWreck:_Ghost_Ships_and_Derelicts_of_Space ''SpaceWreck: Ghost Ships and Derelicts of Space'']. I couldn't use it as written, as it was set 300 years in the future of the TTARPG's setting. So I setup a background, with knowledge of capabilities of space-based telescopes to setup the adventure.

ATTACHED PLEASE FIND A COPY OF THE MAINTANANCE LOG. IT WOULD BE PREFERABLE IF YOU COULD SEE TO THE ITEMS MARKED "URGENT" AND RED FLAGGED BEFORE OUR DEPARTURE. YES, ALL 37 OF THEM.
