5 Parsecs - The Frozen Wastes

The Hermes crews adventures on the frozen moon of Travoris continue with two more missions. 

Mission 5 -  The Rivals

With the number of rivals building-up the Captain took the decision to try and take-out the latest set of rivals, the isolationists of the Travoris Peoples Front. Having previously visited the compound in search of the Ossian Veil Assassins, it was decided to attack the site again.

The crew pushed forward while the Isolationists held back in the side streets and tried to outflank the advancing team. As with the last battle they had the services of a Merc to bolster their forces.  


Once in position the Isolationists opened-up and a fierce gun battle ensued. The better trained Hermes crew got the better of the locals but at the cost of  two crew wounded.  Harlan's wounds proved serious and he would be out of action for two turns.

The crew cleared the site but the leader escaped to fight on. Despite the win the Isolationists were not eliminated as Rivals, so will need to be revisited.   

Mission 6 - Foiled!

For this campaign I'm using the  Story Mode option which means that at regular intervals a series of overarching narrative scenarios are inserted. Mission 6 was one of those - the crew were asked to meet a potential Corporate Patron at a discrete station.   

The ambush site

It was an ambush with some Hired Guns waiting for thew crew to arrive.

This led to a short-range shoot-out between the crew and hired guns. The outcome was very much in the crews favour with the Hired Guns eliminated within 3 turns with some stuns but no wounds to the Hermes crew.

The crew were then able to search the site for clues, but none were found. So the identify of the figure behind the ambush remained unknown.
