Adventure Episode - "Is Anybody Home?"
The crew is dispatched by the Galactic Recovery Agency to the remote mining facility Outpost Alpha 2¸ located on the planet Lanos in the Anophi system of the Outer Reaches. The Galactic Defense Force (GDF) is spread thin in this area¸ so they are offering compensation for civilian assistance. The last received communication from the miners was inconspicuous; nothing unusual was reported. No distress signal was received from the facility¸ but subsequent communications have gone unanswered.
So grab a bubble helmet¸ check the setting on that trusty ray gun¸ and blast off for the Outer Reaches in your ultonium-powered rocket ship. Battle interstellar invaders as a soldier of the valiant Galactic Defense Force. Explore the hidden secrets of a lost alien civilization on far flung planets¸ recover salvage and hunt criminals for bounty as a Galactic Recovery Agent¸ or just try to keep flying by getting a valuable cargo to the infamous Stellar Exchange. All this and much more awaits players in the Counterblast setting for Savage Worlds¸ where play is fast¸ furious¸ and fun!
