Antioch!
Antioch is a heavily settled colony world. Famous for its single¸ asteroid-impact continent¸ the planet has been heavily exploited for the incredible mineral wealth of platinum¸ petroleum and Carbon 60 fullerite found at the impact site. Today¸ this most wealthy and prosperous of colonial ventures is wracked by guerrilla war and civil strife. Where mining companies once flocked to make a killing¸ now mercenary groups drop out of orbit to make their own type of killing.
It seems as if Antioch hates humans: micro-organisms play havoc with delicate circuitry¸ desert dust cripple grav craft¸ thick jungles prove impenetrable by vehicles and aircraft¸ prolific¸ almost sentient vine growths somehow interfere with radio transmissions and seem to intentionally sabotage any machinery they encounter¸ alien insect and animal life infest settlements and ruin equipment.
Few places on Antioch enjoy peace and stability anymore - this is a tinderbox world¸ with guerrilla wars¸ insurgencies and corporate sponsored mercenary activity. Nothing short of complete independence for the nations of Antioch will bring peace to the troubled world¸ but the corporations are still hungry for the riches of the planet¸ and they want a return on their investments....
This world is ripe for Traveller mercenary campaigns¸ with a score of plots¸ mercenary-orientated NPCs and opportunities.
This Planetary Tool Kit is double-length¸ featuring five maps¸ colour art and sustainable play ideas!
