System: River of Heaven
GM: John Ossoway
2998.
Mars has fallen to the Renouncers, who continue to wage their relentless holy war against intelligent machines and their allies.
The Martian Space Tether is down, and as Renouncer war machines ravage the surface, a network of orbital kill-sats capable of destroying any ship approaching the red planet performs an effective orbital interdiction against Hegemony space assets.
Olympus Mons is the site of an important node in the command and control infrastructure for the Mars Planetary Defence Network. It is also the location of a Visser Cube – a traversable wormhole paired with a twin in your home system of Alpha Centauri.
Both of the Visser Cubes are currently offline.
You are a squad of Hegemony Marines. Best of the best. Your mission profile is clear:
- Get to the surface.
- Penetrate the Olympus Mons Citadel.
- Take and hold the Visser Cube chamber
- Realign the wormholes, allowing the Hegemony to deploy troops to the surface of Mars directly from your homeworld.
Easy.
So check those suit seals, warm up your smart rifles and show me your war face.
It’s game time.
