One is courtesy of one of the leading megacorps in the subsector, Benjamelio Corp. They want you to ship cybernetics and industrial components from Vannia to Leghansky, a lo-tech agricultural water world. However, after that delivery, the corp also wants you to offtake some workers from the planet and ship them to a nearby 1-Jump destination TBC. Unusually, the corp is requiring you all to sign an NDA before picking up the assignment. Also, the assignment doesn't involve return to your point of origin, although the fees are decent enough otherwise.

The other one is via Pip's contacts with the Red Swan Tong - and nothing could be wrong with that, right? They want you to transit from Vannia to Lamor, and pick up a cargo that has been jettisoned by a previous courier, and left at a marked location on one of the system's gas giant moons, and return with it to Vannia. The cargo as it stands will not be quite big enough to fill your cargo spaces. "You go buy a cargo to provide a decent cover, going there and back, but that's just a little bit of gravy on your plate, right? What could go wrong?"

Hercido is a relatively idyllic world - if you can handle high gravity and dense atmosphere. The atmosphere is unbreathably dense down at the level of its extensive seas, but the presence of huge shield volcanoes allows breathable habitats close to their peaks. As a result, the planet can only support a relatively small population of baseline humans, most of whom live on two volcanic peaks - Skyland and Mother Mountain. No one has paid much attention to the place since the fall of the Second Empire, and the population has regressed to the late semiconductor Technology Level. They are robust and independent, though, and not about to sell out their freewheeling freethinking ways for a few high-tech baubles.
+
The Viceroyalty of Benjamelio fits somewhere in the galactic eastern borders of the expanding Third Imperium, on the fringes of Solomani space towards the Hive Federation, among the many client states and pocket empires scattered through the region. Its status as a historical Viceroyalty of the Second Imperium is genuine, but that hardly measures up to its pretensions, which have been magnified in competition with the Priam Protectorate further south.
 +
 
 +
The so-called Water Wall of the three close water worlds (Leghansky, Lamor and Bevelind) forms a natural strategic barrier dividing the Viceroyalty's core worlds from its frontier. The three water worlds make excellent naval bases and fuel depots, relatively advanced but with small populations to defend. Besides, historically most threats to the Viceroyalty have come from that direction, rather than the core of the old Empire.
  
−
Lamor is a large water world with a dense atmosphere, almost 100% hydrosphere. Its small population is mostly staff working on the Viceroyalty's refuelling operation. System facilities are relatively basic - the place is an industrial-scale refuelling and fuel refining operation, nothing more.

They should be easy marks for some specialized tech, though, which they will trade for the exotic chemicals and extracts produced from the planet's native ecosystem. And unless those exotics include some really out-there drugs, you have to wonder why the Tong would take an interest in a backwater like that...

a ship will almost always have fuel capacity for two times it's maximum jump capability.
  
 +
ships can refuel for free from oceans or gas giants. however this requires a successful pilot roll and engineer role for processing the fuel. inhabited Worlds are unlikely to allow free use of their oceans, accept possibly ocean Worlds.
  
 +
a ship can typically jump safely twice per month. ideally each jump requires a wheat down time and dry dog afterwards. pushing this rate requires a successful engineering role. if the role is failed the ship will start to take damage.

'''4.6Lethality Rating'''
 +
 +
 +
Polyp Horror
 +
 +
 +
STR 100 CON 100 DEX 15 INT 25 POW 30
 +
 +
HP: 100 WP: 30
 +
 +
Size Category: Very Large (target size bonus: +20%).
 +
 +
Movement: Polyps Horrors can move 10 meters/yards in a combat round on the ground [Medium speed]; 15 meters/yards while flying [Fast]. When moving across surfaces they leave behind characteristic colossal footprints comprising five circular toe marks.
 +
 +
Armor: None (but see UNNNATURAL MATTER, below).
 +
 +
Vs. Lethal Damage: PARTIALLY NON-CORPOREAL — lethal attacks with a Lethality Rating < 15% cannot damage a Polyp at all. Such attacks with a higher rating do not destroy the Polyp but may yield Hit Point damage if they strike at a moment when the Polyp is corporeal. If the die roll made for the Lethal Damage was an odd number, the Polyp was insubstantial at the crucial moment and the attack passes through it; if the die roll was an even number the Polyp suffers Hit Point damage equal to the Lethality Rating.
 +
 +
Attacks
 +
 +
Tentacle Slash 60%, Lethality 50% (and KNOCK DOWN, see below).
 +
 +
Wind Blast 99%, see below.
 +
 +
Skills: Alertness 60%, Athletics 80%, Stealth 60%.
 +
 +
PENETRATING ATTACKS: All attacks made by a Polyp Horror ignore Armor entirely.
 +
 +
INVISIBILITY: Polyp Horrors can become invisible at will, changing from physical beings to vortices of air. While invisible, they are difficult to see and hit in combat, although their invisibility does not protect them from damage. Even while invisible, however, the Polyps continue to emit their characteristic whooshing and whistling noises, particularly while flying.
 +
 +
FLYING ABILITY: Polyp Horrors can move effortlessly through the air.
 +
 +
KNOCK DOWN: A successful physical attack from a Polyp Horror will usually result in the target being thrown to the ground. This can be avoided using a Dodge action.
 +
 +
UNNATURAL MATTER: A Polyp Horror is made of unnatural matter which absorbs most physical attacks without incurring significant damage. Any normal (nonLethal) attack that succeeds will yield a maximum of 1 HP of damage. Lethal attacks are also much less destructive than usual against a Polyp (see above).
 +
 +
WIND BLAST: Polyp Horrors can create a violent directional gust of wind and can use such blasts as combat attacks. Anyone struck by such a gust is likely to be physically dislodged and knocked to the ground. The wind blast from a Polyp doesn’t affect especially massive combatants and objects (those with size category Large or above) or those who have purposefully braced themselves in some way to avoid the gale. Polyps can, for example, use this power to propel smaller vehicles in combat. Anyone attempting to avoid being dislodged by a Polyp’s wind blast will require a successful Athletics test. Placing oneself in a position with significant cover from the wind may, at the GM’s discretion, provide a +20% or +40% bonus to this test. A wind blast attack usually has an Area of Effect of 3 yards/ meters. Because it is supernaturally created, the gust can strike at any distance so long as the Polyp can perceive the target. Damage created by a wind blast attack depends on the environment — if an individual falls from a height, they will suffer normal falling attack; if they are struck by (or into) a hard object they will likely suffer 1D8 or 1D10 damage. The GM should decide damage based on the specific situation.
