Cover/Jacket Text:
A gruesome new menace stirs on the periphery of known space. Armed with devastating
technologies and a thirst for mayhem, these Hatchling aliens (known simply
as Grubs), burst forth from their hidden Clutch-worlds. Millions of them, including
an overwhelming contingent of bio-mechanical starfighters, embark on a sector-wide
rampage. In their path stand a few isolated frontier planets with a rag-tag
collection of out-dated fighters and ordnance.
Emergency calls go out to Imperial garrisons hundreds of light years away.
The Terrans muster their far-flung forces, but every delay brings the fall
of another frontier world.
The clock is ticking, the Hatchlings are gaining strength, and this crisis
is rapidly spinning out of control!
Night Brood chronicles the events of the First Hatchling Scourge — the
invasion of the Tau Albriton Frontier Sector and the subsequent Imperial relief
effort.
Night Brood, designed for use with the Silent Death Metal Express game, system,
includes the following:
• 6 new Hatchling starfighter metal miniatures,
with bases. These allow you to play the first four Night Brood scenarios.
• Starcraft Displays for several new Hatchling
starfighters, including the Larva,'" Remora,'" Squidge,'" Lamprey,-Manta,`'
and Muskellunge.'"*
• Background information on the Terran Star
Empire, the Frontier, and, of course, the enigmatic Hatchling aliens.
• Descriptions of eight Terran starfighter
wings and eight Hatchling fighter swarms.
• Eight complete scenarios, and a design-your-own
campaign that pits the Grubs against their Terran opponents.
• The Night Brood Rules Annex which describes
the technologies and capabilities of this dangerous race.
• Color counters for Night Brood and Black
Guard.
Note: Night Brood is not a complete game. A copy of the Silent Death Deluxe
Edition or Silent Death Unleaded is necessary to use Night Brood.
* Look for these Silent Death miniatures at better hobby and game stores
world wide.
