Hard Shell
 |
Battle dresses: Powerful suits of armour that! With their strong servomotors¸ thick armour plates and powerful sensors¸ they transform their wearers into almost invulnerable super soldiers. The Imperial military doesn't like to see this kind of equipment fall into non-military hands - black market prices are exorbitant. When the player characters learn that some battle dresses have been dusting off for many years in a long-forgotten research station due to a booking error in the Imperial bureaucracy¸ it is clear how they can pay for the long overdue next installment for their spaceship. The coup seems to be child's play. And even Imperial restricted areas¸ duty-conscious space fleet officers¸ crazy scientists¸ fanatic Imperial marines¸ greedy pirates and eerie alien life-forms won't be be able to stop the player characters. Or will they? Hard Shell is a science fiction adventure and comes with full description¸ maps¸ plans and stats for the Cepheus Engine. It is set in the standard 2d6 science fiction universe¸ but can easily be converted to other settings.
