Teaser: Acheron Hyperdynamics was a small but innovative starship company looking for a big break. They got it when they landed their first major contract — their advanced M-66 modular warp drive was the winning design in a contest sponsored by the Federation for the new Argo class deep space colonization cruiser.

The prototype warp drive was sent to the Starfleet proving grounds for installation in the Argo. But it never arrived: someone staged a massive warehouse robbery at a starport storage facility. All 56 drive modules — enough to power a multi-million ton vessel — vanished.

Notes: This was the follow up adventure to the cliff hanger ending of the last adventure of the Living Campaign that had been found on the Modiphius Website. The adventures from the website were gathered up into the Shackleton Expanse Campaign Guide. Some of them were include whole, others were shrunk down to Mission Briefs.

Notable Information:

Mysterious claims are intertwined with tenuous realities in this mission as the players’ ship enters the pocket universe containing the Displaced Tilikaal, suffering multiple system overloads during the passage. The crew struggles to perform repairs while experiencing hallucinations caused by background electromagnetic fields within the pocket universe. Two Starfleet officers, who entered the universe separately from the ship, briefly appear on the bridge, then disappears. The crew finds ways to mitigate the EM fields, rescue the Starfleet officer, and meet Ash’Tamalia’s spiritual form, her aderi, face to face. She tells the story of the Displaced and pleads for Starfleet to help them escape the pocket universe and reclaim their physical bodies.
The crew then finds a way to open a portal back to the Candidate Three system and they and their ship return to their universe.

Teaser: “Captain’s Log, Stardate 48964.5. We’re docked at Narendra Station under red alert conditions and on the way to a war council with Admiral Hebert, General Kargan, and the senior staffs of the other Federation ships stationed here. I suspect we’re going to be ordered back to the Candidate Three system, which suits me just fine. We left rather unexpectedly and unwillingly, and I’d like to have some words with Assessor Tredik if I get the chance and try to get to the bottom of whatever secrets he’s hiding about that strange alien transmission we received on the planet.”

Important NPCs:

• Captain Georj Brandt – Captain of the U.S.S. Kimura
• Assessor Tredik

Notes: This was a straight run through of the adventure as published so I have not provided a detailed description . This was run using the version of the adventure from the Living Campaign on the Modiphius website. This is now also available in the Shackleton Expanse Campaign Guide. This was the last of the Adventures from the Modiphius website. The Shackleton Expanse Campaign Guide had been announced but wasn’t going to be published until near the end of 2021. Because this adventure ended on a cliffhanger, I decided this would be a good point to take a break in the campaign for awhile. We normally break over summer, but this ended up being a little longer than our usual break.

Notable Information: In this mission, the Player Characters join in a council of war held aboard Narendra Station. Threats of renewed hostilities with the Tzenkethi and possible Changeling infiltrations throughout the Alpha and Beta Quadrants have heightened tensions on the station, in addition to the current threat of a focused Romulan incursion into the Shackleton Expanse, specifically toward the Candidate Three system detailed in the previous Living Campaign mission, “The Assessor Gambit”. The Players will investigate anomalous readings on the planet, and will again encounter the strange alien being, Assessor Tredik, just before all hell breaks loose.

Teaser: Captain’s Log,
Stardate 48942.6. We’ve been recalled to Narendra Station, where Admiral Hebert has called me and my senior staff in for a major scientific briefing.
The fact the other captains and staffs assigned to the Expanse are here too doesn’t bode well. Someone’s figured out how to put together some of the puzzle pieces we’ve found over the last several months.

I’m deeply curious to see what the picture looks like, though I have to admit to a certain level of dreadful anticipation as well.

Notes: This was a straight run through of the adventure as published so I have not provided a detailed description . This was run using the version of the adventure from the Living Campaign on the Modiphius website. This is now also available in the Shackleton Expanse Campaign Guide.

Notable Information: In this adventure, the Players Characters join in a scientific and strategic meeting held aboard Narendra Station. At this briefing, they begin to see the bigger picture of the strange goings-on within the Expanse and how alien technology and artifacts are related to the revelation of something called the Tilikaal. The Players will investigate the disappearance of Federation sensor probes, and then run afoul of a Romulan landing party on a massive Class-M world teeming with ancient power. The Players will have the opportunity to encounter a new alien character, who is as mysterious as anything else they’ve yet encountered.
