Coriolis The Gread Dark: Sky Machine

About the adventure

Explore or Perish in the Great Dark At the edge of known space lies Ship City—a fragile metropolis built inside a hollowed-out asteroid. From this lone sanctuary, brave ruin delvers venture into the Great Dark to uncover ancient mysteries, salvage alien technology, and help keep their dying home alive. But the ruins hold a terrible threat: the Blight, a mysterious plague that warps both mind and body. Your crew's best defense against its corrupting influence is the Garuda—a strange alien bird companion that helps mitigate the danger and gives you a fighting chance in the dark. In The Sky Machine, your crew of Explorers Guild agents is dispatched to Gilen’s Point, a desolate mining outpost on the moon Moubarra 4. A prospecting team has vanished after descending into a subterranean fissure beneath the looming presence of a gas giant, where they discovered an ancient Builder structure. Your mission is simple: rescue any survivors and recover the priceless alien artifacts they uncovered. Getting there—and getting back—will be anything but simple. Inspired by 19th-century expeditions, deep-sea diving, and dark pulp science fiction, The Sky Machine is an adventure about exploration, discovery, and survival at the edge of the unknown.
