Libreville - Corruption in the Core Worlds
 |
Libreville is the heart of Earth's multi-world civilisation. With the base of the Beanstalk located inside the mega-city it links humanity to the far-flung colonies. It is home to largest maritime port complex on Earth¸ and air and spaceports dot the nearby Gabon countryside. It is also a corporate haven as every major commercial enterprise and foundation on Earth has an office in Libreville. Residential enclaves for the elite surround a city core of luxurious excess. However¸ Libreville¸ like all the cities in French Africa¸ is also ringed by kilometres of slums. While France is happy to accommodate the Transnational Corporations that wish to utilise the Beanstalk¸ the millions of unemployed and low-skilled workers have yet to see their conditions improve. Libreville: Corruption in the Core Worlds is a sourcebook and adventure for 2300AD. It outlines the history and geography of Gabon and Central Africa along with the culture¸ fringe societies and seedy politics of Libreville. The adventure¸ Mud Sticks¸ takes the players through the cosmopolitan downtown into desperate Mudville as they investigate an outbreak of violence in the slums. This book also includes sample vehicles¸ spaceships¸ robots¸ non-players and random encounters relevant to Libreville. While this book is designed for the 2300AD setting¸ it is easily adapted for any Mongoose Traveller game featuring a futuristic urban setting
