A motley party of adventurers in the Bajic Sector on the Outer Rim are drawn into the brewing confrontation between the Empire and the nascent Rebel Alliance, as crime syndicates and corporate dynasties jockey for advantage.
A motley crew in a maudlin, maundering mess of a subsector - known formally as the Cluster Falk, and by just about everyone ordinarily as the Cluster Fuck. In the chaos after the collapse of the Second Empire, it survives split between two rival local powers, the Viceroyalty of Benjamelio and the Prian Protectorate. While these petty fiefdoms jostle for position and struggle to deal with the challenge of a resurgent Third Empire, ordinary folk just struggle to get by - inside or outside the law.

Scenario Overview[edit]

A motley crew in a maudlin, maundering mess of a subsector - known formally as the Cluster Falk, and by just about everyone ordinarily as the Cluster Fuck. In the chaos after the collapse of the Second Empire, it survives split between two rival local powers, the Viceroyalty of Benjamelio and the Prian Protectorate. While these petty fiefdoms jostle for position and struggle to deal with the challenge of a resurgent Third Empire, ordinary folk just struggle to get by - inside or outside the law.
