Starbase Dread

Lights, Camera, Action


Lights: This LCA is for a sci-fi setting. The party has drifted into a remote, rundown starbase that has earned the infamous nickname "Dread."

Camera: A group of brothers have managed to take control of the starbase and have been bleeding it dry. One of the brothers is the Starbase constable, another brother is the Magistrate. The brothers do as they wish on the base and the inhabitants live in constant fear of being targeted by their ire.

Action: The party immediately runs afoul of the brothers. The GM can have them catch one of the brothers cheating in a game of chance.

If the party makes a stand against the brothers, the starbase inhabitants will rally long enough to ask them to remove the brothers from power. If they clean up the starbase, the inhabitants offer the party a percentage of the profits from the starbase's tavern.
