Naval Adventure 2: Showing the Sunburst
Taking command of a warship assigned to the troubled Jewell-Vilis naval station¸ the Travellers are sent on what looks like a simple flag-showing mission. All they have to do is visit a few worlds¸ remind friend and foe alike that the navy is around¸ and give assistance to Imperial diplomats operating in the region. There is¸ however¸ a sealed section in their orders - to be opened after their ship leaves port. Ordered to quietly locate misappropriated Imperial ships¸ the Travellers are immediately plunged into the murky politics of the region. They must find the vessels without appearing to look for them¸ and make a decision when they succeed. Should they deprive pro-Imperial factions of their means of self-defence? Should they look closely at how the ships were obtained? And what of the situation on Arden? An officer from a foreign power faces trial and execution there. Is it in the interests of the Imperium to support the process¸ or to obstruct it? Weighty decisions are made under the sunburst banner¸ and a mistake could move a tense situation another step towards war. Showing the Sunburst is a complete naval mission for Traveller. A copy of the Element Class Cruiser: Shipbuilder's Blueprints box set is required.
