Great graphics complement an adventure that would work well as a one-shot and keep the tight pace moving.

What system is this designed for?
Classic Traveller but easily transportable to other systems.
What are the necessary assumptions of your adventure?
This is Traveller: Communication travels as the speed of interstellar transport (i.e., the Age of Sail). Starships “jump” between worlds, taking a week or so to do so, carrying passengers, cargo, news and information. Blasters and slug-throwers coexist. Combat – best avoided – is nasty, brutal and short. And players are lucky if their PC survived character generation. Pertinent to this adventure, long ago there was an ancient alien race (creatively called, The Ancients) who enjoyed vastly powerful technology before destroying themselves in a galaxy-wide civil war. Their enigmatic artifacts remain – sought, bought, sold, stolen, studied and often fought over.
Is there any sensitive content in this adventure?
If you don’t like nanobots that turn everything they touch into “gray goo,” along with humorous attempts to describe how said goo is made from people (like Soylent Green), you won’t like this adventure.
