Adventure overview
The adventure takes characters to Nimao, a frozen rock of petrified graphite and liquid hydrogen sulfide, where an unmarked ghost ship named the Moonrise lurks in orbit. Guided by AI Da'Veed and Commander Aries Poole, a covert domed factory beneath the toxic fog cannibalizes captured vessels to build 'The Reavers'—a deadly battalion of battle bots.
High-Stakes Sandbox on Dead World Nimao
Set against the lethal environment of planet Nimao, characters must navigate hazardous atmospheric conditions and investigate the mysterious orbital vessel Moonrise. The sandbox structure allows teams to approach the facility via covert infiltration, orbital dogfights, or surface sabotage.
Robotic Foes and Space Combat Stats
Formatted for Cepheus Deluxe, the adventure details tactical stats for Marine Bots, Androids, and combat Reavers. It includes complete starship statistics for the Moonrise, its high-G combat fighters, and surface drop modules for both space and ground battles.
