"Not Just A Job ... An Adventure"

About 75 years after Virus ended the Final War and

brought about the total collapse of the Third Imperium, a

small group of worlds intheOldExpanses banded together,

called themselves the League of the New Dawn, and sent

out a dozen trading vessels to open peaceful

commerce with the neighboring planets in the

Wilds. The 12 ships were instantly gobbled up,

their crews imprisoned, executed, or worse. Had

even a few of them returned, history might have

been different, but the total destruction of the

Dawn League's first attempt at peaceful contact

had a profound effect. Within a short time, the

League had recast itself as the Reformation Coali-

tion, and was practicing a more forceful version of

diplomacy.

ment, or information held by localforces. The reluctanceof

local forces to part with these assets, of course, was what

made the operations "hot" Hot recovery became the

signature operation of RCES, and troops soon developed a

slang term for it-Smash

& Grab.

This adventure anthology is designed

to teach the referee and players every-

thing they need to know about smash-

and-grab operations (S&Gs). It does not

contain essays on tactics, standard oper-

ating procedures, targeting priorities, or

any of a number of useful features. (For

these, players and referees are directed

to Path of TearsTM:The Star Viking

Sourcebook.) Instead, Smash & Grab teaches by ex-

ample. Included are five representative missions, and

once the referee and players have played through all five

of them, there should be very little question as to how

future adventures such as these should be run. (And

player characters who survive all five will have become

veteran Star Vikings indeed!)

Captured ships and crews were rescued. Corrupt dicta-

tors suffered from punitive raids, and were sometimes

toppled. The growing industrialand technological base of the

Reformation Coalition was fed by artifacts recovered from the

Wilds and brought back to Coalition Space. These recovery

operations were coordinated by the Reformation Coalition

ExploratorySm'ce (RCES), and fell into two categories:

Cold recoveries were those directed at derelict facilities,

such as dead orbital starports or now-uninhabited worlds

whose life support had failed, placing the population atthe

fatal mercies of a hostile surface environment.

Hot recoveries, on the other hand, were directed at

inhabited worlds, and aimed to recover personnel, equip-

Okay, if the Wen are so smart, then how come I'm in

charge of this operation?
