# General Ideas

|
The over-arching story could revolve around the buried ruins in Khepris itself.
|
||
|
|
As the party explores more, they come across barriers that require specific
|
||
|
|
components or relics to pass beyond. Their contacts in the new guild help them
|
||
|
|
discover leads, and sends them on adventures to get the stuff.

# War Machine
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The party lands on an industrial planet in recession. The focus city is run by
|
||
|
|
business mobsters of the rich families. The government is corrupt, and the
|
||
|
|
people generally downtrodden. In the large lake and river system near the focus
|
||
|
|
city is an island with some ancient piping and cement work. Unbeknownst to most,
|
||
|
|
this island is actually the top of an ancient war machine, capable of excessive
|
||
|
|
violence and destruction.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
One of the families learns of this, and is working to claim it. The government
|
||
|
|
catches wind, and is working to stop them but also claim it. A rogue group of
|
||
|
|
pirates and vagabonds seeks to destroy it completely. All need components from
|
||
|
|
the party's ship, and all seek to capture the party and force their way.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The party was dispatched to this planet to recover something valuable, that
|
||
|
|
turns out to be part of the power source for the war machine. As they approach
|
||
|
|
to land, their ship is immediately surrounded by government and regional police
|
||
|
|
ships. Upon landing, or escaping, they are set upon by the family and the
|
||
|
|
pirates, who end up also fighting each other, and then exclusively fighting each
|
||
|
|
other. The party can escape, but their ship is impounded and grounded through
|
||
|
|
physical and bureaucratic means. Eventually, they'll meet a guild contact, who
|
||
|
|
will fill in the details. The party can then choose who, if any, to support.

# Red Eye to Mega City 4
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
A post-nuclear planet with several massive mega-cities. Commerce via bullet
|
||
|
|
mag-trains between them is common, but pirates and raiders in the wastes are
|
||
|
|
more-so. A scientist working in a secret bio-facility on a parasitic organism
|
||
|
|
that effectively turns its hosts to vampires steals and sequesters samples to
|
||
|
|
one of the major raiding groups in the wastes. The organism multiplies and
|
||
|
|
infects the entire raider group, turning them into powerful creatures. They work
|
||
|
|
with the scientist to modify the organism such that the raider group is
|
||
|
|
considered the superior and leader members of the society, and the new strain
|
||
|
|
are like slaves to them. They capture a bunch of trains, infect the people, and
|
||
|
|
then send it towards one of the mega-cities to spread their new plague.

- The movie Priest, which I've never seen, but gets sampled throughout [this

|
|
Perturbator music video](https://youtu.be/GpLNjYw2Mio).
|
||
|
|
- Dredd universe, including and perhaps especially [Judge
