Into the Maelstrom: Star Drifters - Scifi Campaign!

About the adventure

Centuries ago, humanity faced imminent extinction on Earth, prompting a daring exodus aboard colossal sleeper ships propelled by cutting-edge aetherite technology. Journeying through the vast expanse of space, some of these vessels carried humanity across the void to the distant Maelstrom galaxy, where they found refuge and forged new beginnings. Now, generations later, humans have firmly established themselves within this alien realm, coexisting with myriad life forms and navigating the powerful influence of megacorporations that dominate society. Whispers circulate about the legendary scholar known as Professor Elara Thorne. Renowned for her expertise in ancient civilizations, Thorne seeks a skilled group of mercenaries to aid in uncovering the mysteries of a long-forgotten culture. Rumors suggest that this civilization possessed knowledge of great technology, an immense secret buried within the ruins of their lost cities. As Thorne's hired hands, your task is to navigate the treacherous depths of space, uncover cryptic artifacts, and confront all manner of dangers along the way. The call to adventure begins on Serenity Station in the Midreach Colonies. Prepare for a journey that could shape the course of history, as you delve into the unknown and unlock the hidden truths that lie among the stars.
