About the adventure
There is a story that they tell in bars and spaceports across the galaxy, wherever the crews of freighters and passenger boats gather. To those who work the spaceways, who spend their whole lives in fragile little bubbles of steel and air all alone in the night, this story never fails to chill the soul. On Mars, they say it happened to John Carter; on Io, the crew of one of the first ships through the jump gate; on Proxima, to one of the early colonists. Whoever the protagonists are, the story always ends the same way. The year is 2259 and the place is Babylon 5. This campaign with start with The Cold Equations and then The Ragged Edge. We will be using the Traveller ruleset and the Fantasy Grounds VTT.

How will character creation work
We will be using Mongoose Traveller 2nd edition, supplemented by the Universe of Babylon 5 Traveller edition by Mongoose. You have three options to create characters. The first is to generate a character using the standard Traveller system. Alternatively you can use a version of the point buy system described in the Traveller Companion book. Finally I will have some pre generated characters if you prefer to jump straight in.
