 Alien Module 1

AslanAdventure and Intrigue with a Proud Warrior Race

 

Spinward of the Imperium, a race of ferocious carnivores has evolved to intelligence and rules hundreds of star systems. They are the Aslan, interstellar neighbors of the Imperium. This warrior race has long been a mystery to the ordinary human, and now it is possible to learn more about their culture and society.

Aslan, Traveller Alien Module 1, describes in detail this alien race, its home world, and its star faring society.

This Alien Module includes:

Aslan History and Culture: Detailed essays on the nature of the Aslan, their culture, their behavior, and their society.

Aslan Character Generation: Seven basic careers, plus six more derived from Citizens. Careers include Space Service, Military Service, Wanderers, Management, and Outcasts. Additional careers include Pirates, Belters, Envoys, Flyers, Medics and Scientists. Also included are details and modifications to standard systems to allow Aslan to be generated as Imperial citizens.

Advanced Character Generation: Character and skill tables for Mercenary and High Guard (you must have the Mercenary and High guard booklets to make full use of them).

World Generation: Tables and rules for Aslan worlds, governments, bases, law and tech levels. Fast and easy generation of Aslan names and words to add depth to any Aslan adventure.

Aslan Encounters: Patrons and random encounter lists for ventures into Aslan territory.

Weapons: Aslan personal weapons defined and described.

 The Aslan Hierate: Basic multi-sector map of Aslan territory showing its relationship to the Imperium. Sectors are named in Aslan, with Imperial names where applicable.

A Quest: One Aslan, accompanied by his family, has set off to find his brother’s ihatei, his second son, the heir to their influential clan’s power. The adventure takes him, his family, and ultimately a crew of human adventures deep into Aslan territory, all the while pursued by assassins.

More than a rousing adventure, this quest allows players and referee to actually participate in an alien culture, using the background and data provided to more effectively roleplay with nonhuman characters.

Designed by J. Andrew Keith, John Harshman and Marc W. Miller

Loggerheads (by Ian Delaney Giant trees in giant forests need giant logging machines to clear them for cultivation. Oops!  This one as “kind of” stopped responding and seems to be headed for a major city. It is likely the city will be harvested, just like the forest, if your group can’t stop it.  Um, why does that giant “logging machine” have gun turrets on it?)

The Werewolf Disease (by Anders Blix A week ago, a young lab technician was accidentally infected with an experimental virus.  He suddenly turned ill and in a terrible rage, he broke out of the hospital and fled to the wilderness.
