ON AXIONIC WINGS

This pamphlet is intended to be a scenario tool box for Mothership 1E. It lays out a high stakes situation and provides tools to escalate tension and pressure.

The scenario is agnostic to the ship it is set on, referring to ship sstems rather than rooms. Run it on the ship your players are travelling on as an encounter in transit or use a ship from the Shipbreaker’s Toolkit for a one shot.

Wake them up, as they scramble to repair the ship and the Axionids start to react, watch them panic. It’s designed to be a pressure cooker with many things going wrong at once.

The players have three main goals:

•  restore power to the ship 
•  repel the Axionids
• escape the gravity well of the star

They will have to make hard choices about saving the ship or saving themselves from being turned into crushed cubes of meat and bone.

Includes procedures for tracking escalating crisis effects and for players to manipulate ships power to operate or overclock ship systems.

This work was made by humans. No AI or machine-generated works are included in this project.
