                            ADVENTURE:     HELL WORLD

The adventure begins with the Character's standing in a breifing room
aboard the New Republic Flagship "Defiance."  General Crix Madine begins
the breifing, "Gentlebeings, time is short so I will cut to the point of
this briefing.  Your mission is to travel to the Planet Chelestra.
Chelestra has been out of contact with the known universe for quite
sometime.  The last information we have mentions it as an Imperial Research
Station.  Since the fall of the Empire Chelestra has been cut off from the
Empire.  Are information network with in the reminants of the Empire has
recently stumbled across information regarding what Chelestra was working
on.  We have reason to believe the Chelestra was researching Genetic
Weapons.  All attempts to find out the results of these weapons or if they
were even successful in anything have been twarted.  It is known that Grand
Inquisitor Trake is preparing a mission to attempt to figure out the reason
for Chelestra's silence.  We want you to get there first.  Attempt to bring
back any information you can as regards to their research and if possible
find ways to nullify what they have done.  You are to use whatever means
neccessary to destroy all copies of their research then return back to the
Defiance to report."
        General Madine presses a button on his podium and their is a slight
wrrr then the Planet Chelestra appears before the Characters.
Madine speaks "As you can Chelestra has a standard Type I atmosphere,
Moderate weather, and a somewhat cool environmant, you may want to pack
some of your heavier clothing for the trip," Madine  smiles, "as far as our
last information can tell us Chelestra was being Governed by an Imperial
Governor by the name of Mosh Barris, are files tell us he is a cautious man
often more concerned with the welfare of his troops than with results.
This is all the information we have at this time good luck."

After the character's leave the briefing room allow them one hour to gather
needed supplies and last minute repairs to the ship before leaving.
Hyperspace Travel to the planet from the "Defiance" will take 20 hours at
x1 hyperdrive.  At the same time which the PC's are leaving roll 2D and
times it by 5.  This is how many hours they have before the Grand
Inquisitor Trake's forces show up to begin investigating the planet.

Upon exit from Hyperspace:
A Bright blue world dominates the forward view screen.

Shortly there after arriving the comm unit well emit a disaster beacon
signal.  This signal can not be ignored and will immediatly be relayed to
the players do to safety restrictions.
"Warning: All approaching craft, Be advised Chelestra is currently a
disaster world.  We have had a bio-hazard and it ......" sounds of
something seeming to attack the controller.  Then silence.  The message
repeats every 30 seconds.  Comm system can be reprogrammed to ignore with a
difficult communications  roll.

With a easy sensors  roll the PC's will be able to determine that there
only remains approx. 2,000 or so of the original 40,000+ Population.
With a moderate sensors  roll the PC's will be able to find the Location of
the Landing Field
With a difficult sensors  roll the PC's will be able to determine the
location of a large complex approx. 5 miles south of the landing field
which is the Research Station.

After a few moments the characters ship lands at the Landing Field without
incident.  Upon landing the character's will notice that much of the
landing field is in ruins.  There is no signs of life around.  They may
also notice that the control tower still stands and may decide to attempt
to accertain what exactly happened to the controller who's voice they heard
on the message.

The Control Tower

As the character's enter the control tower they will notice a disarray of
equipment strewn all about.  In the air they will smell the burnt oder of a
barbeque where the hamburgers were left on the grill a bit to long and
burned up.  They will also notice many dead bodies on the floor upon
inspection of the bodies they will notice that they actually appear to be
chard as if the people where actually fried to a crisp.  If a character is
force sensitive they will be getting a very dark feeling from the room.  On
the speaker they will hear the message being repeated which they heard when
they first exited hyperspace.  With a easy communications roll this message
can be turned off.  With a moderate communications roll they can change the
message.

After leaving the control tower the next probable destination for the PC's
will be to travel thru town and attempt to investigate the research
station.  As the characters travel thru town use the following encounter
table to see if they are discovered

roll 2D add +1 for every half hour or every encounter which the PC's have
1-4 nothing happens
5-6 1D Searcher shows up
7-8 2D Searcher shows up
9-10 3D Searcher shows up
11-12 2D Searcher and 1D Vengearms

It well take approx. 2 hours to arrive at the research station IF they make
it :)
Make sure and keep track of how long until Trake's forces arrive.  If you
want you can preroll since even the Imperial's will need to travel thru the
same encounter table have it take approx. 2.5 hours after the imperials
arrival to have them arrive at the Research Station.  Have the imperials
show up in a middle of battle.  This well give them a chance to fight a
common foe and form and alliance.  Or you can always wait tell Impies to
the Rescue to have them show up.

The Research Station

Upon arrival at the Research station the characters will find a large domed
structure.
The lay out is made up of a series of rings one level high.  First ring has
several administrative offices and some dormitories.  Second Ring more
dormitories, Third ring light research, fourth ring restricted area and
main research area.  In the center area is where the research subjects are
kept.
The main computer system is down for the station as well as most of the
power.  Bio-security has been activated so it well be neccessary for the
PC's to use a moderate Security  roll to bypass the security for the blast
doors for each ring.  The doors have a 6D speeder scale str.  It well be
noted that whatever the security system was trying to keep in wasn't
successful.  The PC's will find charred bodies everywhere and continue to
smell the sickly smell of burnt flesh.  Use the below encounter table for
every 15 minutes which they are in the research facility.


roll 2D add +1 for every half hour or every encounter which the PC's have
2-3 nothing happens
4-6 2D Searcher shows up
7-8 3D Searcher shows up
9-10 3D Searcher shows and 1D Vengearms show up
11-12 4D Searcher and 2D Vengearms show  up

In the fifth ring with a moderate search roll the characters will be able
to find Dr. Parker's office.  Dr. Parker was the Main Research head and
responsible for the research.  The office will be deserted but with another
moderate search roll the PC's will be able to locate the back-up files
pretaining to the research which Dr. Parker conducted.  There is a portable
computer terminal here and it has power.  It only has about 5 minutes of
power left.  But the characters will be able to with an easy security  roll
call up a low level file.  On the screen Dr. Parker's image appears

"To who ever find's this file, you are very brave but very foolish, by this
time I will have completed the experiment which will allow me supreme power
in this universe.  I will have created the supreme warriors and myself will
have powers far beyond that of ordinary mortals."  With cackling laughter
the Dr.'s image disappears in it's place 10 second countdown begins upon
completion of the countdown the computer and all of it's files will be
destroyed causing a 2D char. scale explosion.  With a Heroic security roll
or Heroic demolitions the destruct program can be defeated.  But the memory
will still have been wiped by the program.
Suprise, Suprise
Unknown to the characters there was another program embeded but this one
was set-off upon start up of the computer.  It alerted Dr. Park to the
intrusion and he and his forces began to move towards his office to find
confront and destroy the PC's.
No sooner do the PC's leave the office when they begin to see dark shapes
falling from the ceiling they will soon find that they are trapped.  They
will hear a voice somewhat similar to the one they recently heard on the
computer recording,  "Well my darlings, it would appear that we will feed
well tonight."  To the left they will see Dr. Park or at least what appears
to be Dr. Park he is holding a orange lightsaber and seems to be wielding
it with ease for Dr. Park use stats for Crown Entity giving him force
skills at 13D due to how much of the population he has consummed.  Beside
Dr. Park is 2D Vengearms and 3D Searchers.  To the right which leads deeper
into the complex there is 3D Vengearms and 4D searchers.

Impies to the rescue

If the Imperials haven't caught up to the characters now is the time for
them to show up.  The original starting out force was Dark Side Master
Strahn, Trake's Right Hand Man Darrian Schedick and a force of 24 Imperial
Storm Commandos. The imperials will attempt to help the PC's to destroy Dr.
Park's forces,  Strahn upon noticing Park though will attempt to try and
lure him into help Trake rule the galaxy.  After several rounds of Park
force lightning Strahn he will begin to put all of his power into
destroying Park the battle will truely be joined then.

End of battle


After hopefully defeating Park or perhaps being able to free themselves
from his clutches the character should be able to make it back to their
ship safely. Strahn will leave the characters alone and walk away.  Saying
something to the effect that he believes they have both had enough fighting
for the day.  Him and his troops will then leave.  The characters are able
then able to leave the planet and report back to the "Defiance"

Reward: 10 character points plus possibly more for inventive thinking or
heroic actions.
