Aramis - The Traveller Adventure
 |
At the very fringe of the Imperium¸ in a backwater corner of the Spinward Marches¸ the Aramis subsector has been an undeveloped and often ignored part of Imperial society for generations. Recently¸ however¸ the alien vargr living just across the Imperial border have begun to acquire a taste for the subsector's exotic and excellent agricultural products¸ and increased trade is beginning to bring prosperity.
Against this background¸ two major shipping lines are developing their holds on the trade routes and are now caught in a cut-throat competition for a monopoly on trade and cargo transport. Into this situation steps an intrepid band of Traveller characters¸ ready to embark on the quest of their lives.
The companion volume to The Traveller Book¸ containing a linked collection of adventures forming a ready-made campaign in the Spinward Marches.
When the crew of the merchant vessel March Harrier befriends a wolf-like alien Vargr in the underground city of Leedor¸ they have no reason to suspect that they are beginning a quest for the secret of a jeweled alien ornament... a quest that will take them to an asteroid mining settlement¸ to frontier trading stations¸ and to dozens of exotic worlds. But the ornament is intended for more then mere decoration and the adventuring crew is soon marked by the extra-legal security apparatus of the giant Tukera Lines megacorporation. The crew and their Vargr companion need every skill at their disposal to discover the true secret of the ornament..
