Campaign: Merchant Venturer
Welcome to the Herculis Cluster. The Cluster is a region of space harried by the ghosts of war. A region where the UEF and the FWA watch each other carefully across ill-defined borders; as the uneasy peace strains under the plots and machinations of these two powers. Mercenaries and pirates are drawn to this part of known space as business is good. Pirates prowl the war-littered space lanes and prey on the unwary, and those smugglers willing to take a few risks can turn a nice profit.
The colonies out in The Cluster are often rough-hewn, uncivilised and poorly resourced. Many colonists resent the interference of the far away Earth in their own affairs and smuggling is rife between these worlds. What law there is out in the Cluster is scant and often available to the highest bidder.
The players take the role of the crew of the Merchant Venturer. As independent operators they will be looking for the next big deal and their next meal. Out in The Cluster it pays to be flexible in the kind of cargo you’re willing to take. Choosy men can starve.
The following adventures are from Gary Cooper's series of adventures based in the disputed region of space known as the Herculis Cluster. They are for use with the MULA Monograph Cthulhu Rising, published by Chaosium. The games are designed to be one-shot adventures and are not necessarily Mythos related.
