Fall of the Jedi: Episode I

GM: Morticutor UK

Player Group:4-6

Description:

It is a dark time for the Galaxy. Despite their many losses at the hands of the GALACTIC REPUBLIC and their CLONE TROOPERS, the Separatist Army refuses to surrender.

Fearful that more systems will break away as the war continues, SUPREME CHANCELLOR PALPATINE has used his emergency powers to create the SPECIAL INVESTIGATIONS BUREAU, despite the protests of hundreds of Senators. This order has been granted the power to take whatever actions are necessary to protect the Republic - despite the calls of Senators for accountability.

In a desperate move, the Separatists discover the existence of an ancient SITH BATTLECRUISER, the Executor. In a cunning move they capture the man whose family holds the secret of its location. The fate of the galaxy hangs in the balance, as a small group of newly-knighted JEDI PADAWANS and CLONE COMMANDOES seek to prevent him from falling into Seperatist hands...

Fading Suns: Gathering Pandemonium

GM: Morticutor UK

Player Group:2-3

Description:

After months of beseiging the Decados system of Pandemonium, a Kurgan gunship breaks through the Battle Brother interdiction fleet. Damaged, it crashes upon Pandemonium's sands. The Battle Brothers are quick to give chase to the surviving barbarians, but a Decados Knight is charged with bringing the heretics (and their rumoured advanced technology) to his masters. As the Church and one of the Great Noble Houses almost comes head to head over possession of the heretics and their weapons, the Kurgens will stop at nothing to wreak as much havoc as possible behind enemy lines...
