Beltstrike ebook
There are fortunes to be made prospecting the asteroids. You've heard the rumours: hundred-ton chunks ofĀ platinum,Ā uraniumĀ oreĀ so pure it melts yourĀ cargo hold,Ā derelictĀ ships filled with forgottenĀ DarrianĀ technology. They're all free for the taking. All you need is a ship, a sharp eye on the sensors, and luck.
Sure, it's dangerous. Zero gravity and hard vacuum won't forgive your mistakes, and rescue is millions of kilometres away. Sure, you know that otherĀ beltersĀ have searched all their lives and never made that big strike.
But you know it's there. You can feel it. Maybe it's the next rock.
TheĀ Bowman systemĀ is one of the most extensiveĀ asteroid beltsĀ in theĀ Spinward Marches, 360 million kilometres from rim to rim, itsĀ planetoidsĀ ranging from sandgrains to the 1,200-kilometre bulk ofĀ Larson's Rock. Composition shades from the nickel-iron alloy on the inner edge to carbonaceous chondrites on the cold rim. Population: A few thousand belters making a precarious living on the fringes ofĀ civilisation.
When a game takes in the entire universe it's easy to forget how large and complex even a singleĀ systemĀ can be.Ā BeltstrikeĀ is a demonstration of how much scope for adventure a single asteroid belt, described in detail, can provide. This module includes detailed information on theĀ Bowman BeltĀ and system, and extensive rules for prospecting and mining the asteroids. It also contains adventures for players to undertake, but these by no means exhaust the possibilities of the background.
