Cover/Jacket Text:
Graced with abundant resources, Jad_London is envied as one of the Empire's most
powerful and wealthy provinces. Jadium, a metal useful in the contruction of
starcraft, can only be found here. Jade-London also acts as a buffer between
the Imperial core worlds and the Idorian Star Empire.
The Idorians are cruel, blood-thirsty humanoids determined to disrupt the
Terran Empire. Infamous for their disrespect of lif anproperty, these pirate-radirs
are believed to be responsible for recent strikes against remote Jadist mines.
Plenty of Houses would enjoy undermining Jade=London's materials industry.
Raiders from the Frontier chronicles the conflict between House Jade-London
and its various foes, including the terrifying Idorians. Provided are the
history and structure of Jade-London, background on the Idorians, and 4 adventure
scenarios which embroil you in the troubles of Jade-London.
As a space adventurer you can:
- Uncover a conspiracy to disrupt Jadist mining in the hazardous asteroids
of the "Ring of Heaven."
- Transport twelve "special personnel" to a remote mining station.
- Encounter a de-evolved culture which has sunk to violence and treachery.
- Rescue the count's son and heir from Idorian rebels.
Rushing homeward from a profitable ambush in Jade-London province, militants
aboard the Idorian raider 'WolfEagle' bask in their new-found wealth. Suddenly,
a planet on a near-collision course interrupts the celebration. Miscalculations
have brought the plunder-laden craft within a half-power thrust of Zoura,
a quarantined planet with strangely variable energy fields. The planet's mystique
has stimulated many a traveler's curiosity - but never enough to risk one's
life for too close a view. The entire 'WolfEagle' crew would certainly breathe
easier with Zoura, its flaring cosmic dust, and rumored dangers well behind
them...
Raiders from the Frontier includes:
- Background and Stats of Jade-London's leaders and personalities.
- Planetary System Descriptions.
- Descriptions of Minor Clams within Jade-London's
sphere of influence.
- 4 Complete Adventures, including layouts for an
Orbital Space Lab.
- One Full-page Starmap.
