Presented here are several different possible adventures
growing out of a single seed. In each of these
adventures, a minor planet that was ejected from the
solar system of its creation has been discovered
wandering through space. What secrets the planet holds
are left to the characters to discover.

==The Wanderer in the Dark==
For several weeks rumors grow among space
travelers of a ghost planet drifting in the dark
between the stars. Eventually word spreads around
that expeditions are being mounted and are looking
for crew to recruit. The Wanderer has been located,
and the race to discover its secrets is on.

There are several candidates for an expedition. PGC
is one of the most likely, but other corps looking to
get a leg-up (or even local entrepreneurs) could also
take an interest in this "ghost planet". Experienced
characters who are in possession of a vessel of their
own, or part of a group with a ship, can also attempt
to mount an expedition of their own.

The characters may arrive first, but others will be
hot on their heels.

==The Sleepers==
In this version of the adventure, explorations
beneath the surface of the rogue world reveal signs
of intelligent inhabitation -- cavernous, tomb-like
complexes burrowed deep below. Advanced power
plants keep computers and machinery just active
enough to maintain the lives of cryogenically frozen
aliens. How many aliens sleep deep within the
planet? Who are they? Where do they come from?
What happened to their world?

==War in the Night==
Whether or not the rogue planet is inhabited, in this
version of the adventure it is rich in resources, a
treasure trove floating free and waiting to be
exploited. Several rival groups arrive to lay claim to
the planet, and in short order their disagreements
and posturing become a multi-way shooting war.
Do the characters work for one of the disputants?
Do they have their own claim to stake and defend?
Do they work for the Pan-Galactic Corporation or the
Federation, seeking to achieve a peaceful solution?

==Carnival==
(This idea is inspired by George R. R. Martin's
masterful novel, "Dying of the Light". The author
highly recommends this novel to all science fiction
fans!)

In this variation, the planet has been discovered
because it is wandering close to a star system and,
eventually, will drift close enough to become
temporarily habitable on the surface. PGC and
several other large corporations have quickly laid
claim to the world and are set to begin creating a
wonder of the Frontier -- a vacation carnival planet,
where they can use tourist revenues to fund
terraforming and technological experiments. The
opportunity for mystery and adventure in such an
environment is boundless.

==When Worlds Collide==
As above, the planet is drifting close to an inhabited
star system, but this time it's on a collision course
with a major world. When an expedition to the
rogue planet discovers that it seems to be filled with
ancient technology -- but no sleeping inhabitants --
what will be done? Is the rogue planet in actuality a
"world ship" and can it be diverted in time?
