The Irochol mining colony has been in business for
ten years. It’s a Streel venture that of late has received
a lot of attention because they successfully
mined uranium in the asteroids of Athor – something
nobody else has been able to accomplish.
About two days ago, their subspace signal went
dead and all communication has halted. Right before
the silence, the foreman was heard to say
“What the hell is THAT!?” before the sound of a
weapon being fired ended all communication.

The characters are hired by Streel to go investigate.
They are given passage to the asteroid upon which
the mining camp is located. They are given lastknown
map data (admittedly two years old and
completely wrong) and have been briefed that the
only defenses they have on site is a single weapons
locker containing minimal ammunition – to ward off
pirates who hassle them. Streel is currently under
suspicion that it’s pirates behind it all... they’re
wrong.

When the characters are dropped off (the ship will
return for them in 2 days), they immediately find
that the atmogenerators are broken down. They
have to fix it in order to survive 2 days – or their
suits (provided by Streel) will run out of breathable
air.

While scavenging to gather equipment needed to
facilitate repairs, the characters split up and find
themselves each hunted by an odd lizard-like creature.
The creature has never before been seen, and
is oddly shaped – almost like s cross between a
sathar and a lizard. They carry semi-modern weaponry,
and have defensive screens. They seem able
to exist in the vacuum of space without any atmosphere.

The creatures are called Rooksha, and are an alien
species who hunt for sport and pleasure. Their society
is built around the idea of the hunt. Their test of
maturing into adulthood is to be dropped off on
some foreign world and told to bring back as many
ears as they can.

But in their section of space, the beings they hunt
are hardly sentient. The Rooksha have misjumped
and wound up stuck in a crashed ship in the Frontier
area of space. There were more of them but they
jettisoned in different directions. The escape pod
that landed on this asteroid carried with it a few
Rooksha just reaching the age of maturity...

The characters will have to defend themselves
against the Rooksha while trying to get the atmogenerator
fixed. Once they do, they’ll find that
the mining crew of the Irochol expedition are mostly
all dead, though four workers are hiding in an air
duct where they’ve trapped a couple days worth of
oxygen and are hoping to wait out the creatures.

From the wreckage of the Rooksha ship, the characters
find telemetry that can lead them to where the
other escape launches headed... leading them on a
series of adventures to hunt down some of the
greatest hunters the Frontier has ever known
