Mayhem on Mine 02
The refinery planet, Mine 02, is unique in that its surface is completely composed of a mix of hard, rocky mountains with shallow oceans of raw magon. Until recently, the planet was deemed open to unregulated industrialization since it was void of life.
However, one of the colonies, New Filta, was destroyed by a giant monster and most planetary production was slowed down if not stopped altogether. Investigations revealed a vast, interconnecting network of Wilds teeming with bioforms just underneath the surface of the planet.
This discovery has created conflict as some controllers are under pressure to produce magon while others are clamoring for regulations. In addition, there is a growing call for a complete evacuation of Mine 02 in order to allow scientists and explorers to study and map the Wilds.
There are only three remaining colonies on Mine 02:
- Streel, controlled by the Central Mirth Alliance;
- Rigava, controlled by the Eastern Mirth Alliance; and,
- Mineton, controlled by the Western Mirth Alliance.
- (New Filta is an abandoned fourth colony, which was controlled by the nation of Filta before the attack.)
Adventure Hooks
Assess To Impress: In light of the discovery of bioforms, the Minister of Environmental Protection is going to visit the colony of Streel in one week. Your team has been charged with guessing what new regulations will be proposed, assessing what changes need to be made in order to meet those regulations, and working as hard as possible to impress the Minister. In addition, your team will need to plan the trip for the Minister, including tours and entertainment, and then host the minister through her stay. What kind of report will the Minister give about your colony? How will your planning pay off?
A Whole New Wilds: The colony of Mineton is sending your team below the surface to collect data about the terrain, including mapping, magon levels, and bioforms. The Wilds start as dark labyrinth-like caverns, but as Wilds are known to do, morph into unexpected biomes the deeper you go. What types of beasts and biomes are waiting for you?
Defend the Refinery: As colony controllers, your team is charged with maximizing refinery production for Rigava while ensuring it is safe from monster assaults. Your team will need to establish refinery structures and protocol as well as colony weapons and defenses. When will the assault happen? How big will the assault be? Can you meet the alliance’s demands while fending off fiends?
Runes & Ruins: You and your team of undercover investigative journalists teleport to Streel imitating new regulators. Your real goal is to make your way to the ruins of New Filta to find out what really happened there. The facts aren’t adding up. Why would Filta, a nation known for their expertise in rebuilding after monster attacks, give up their colony? Why was Filta given a colony to begin with when all the other colonies were given to multi-nation alliances?
