Welcome to this 4th gamemaster sandbox! This one is intended to be more of an adventure than a single encounter - and full disclosure: it might be too deadly! I appreciate your help testing this adventure, and I'm willing to make changes and edit as we go in an effort to balance the adventure to 13th level PCs.
-----
The PCs have a lead on a powerful force artifact that may assist them in their war effort against a Yuuzhan Vong invasion. Their information from Chiss scouts points to the presence of this artifact on Calagroth: a jungle world with a settlement of Rakata - a previously encountered "regressed" culture of once-advanced primitives. This settlement was doing relatively well until remote scans showed a recent decrease in activity. No one has visited the world in several months. They are travelling to this world to investigate and hopefully secure the artifact. The PCs will start with a well equipped freighter - the
Enduring Light as they have been involved in a conflict. Our adventure begins as the
Enduring Light reverts to realspace above Calagroth...
You feel a lurch in your stomachs as you revert to realspace. You brace yourselves for blaring alarms, tense shouts, and the shudder of incoming fire. But, for the first time in awhile, your arrival seems to be a quiet one. No ships of any kind are in your vicinity. No communications are sounding over the ship's comms. The passive sensors detect only Calagroth's jungles spinning pensively below. A more active search may reveal more.
