Starship Tempest

Things come to a head as the storm and a giant alien creature bear down on Maddox and his Gorn counterpart while other mysterious forces attack the Tempest in orbit.

As the storm closes in, it becomes apparent that the Gorn isn't the only creature on the planet's surface that poses a threat to him.

Maddox continues his struggle for survival against the Gorn captain as an electrical storm bears down on them both, while the rest of the crew aboard the Tempest race against time to find the advantage their captain needs to make it back alive.

Captain Maddox is pressed into an unusual...and distressingly familiar...physical trial that will decide the fate of Gorn/Federation diplomatic relations.

The Tempest races to chase down the Andorian tomb raider before she can effect a getaway with the Artifact, a situation further complicated by the untimely arrival of some very displeased Klingons.

The  Tempest  crew with Dr. Galen venture deeper into the ancient site and past obstacles to their goal, racing to find the artifact before the Klingons or an Andorian treasure hunter beat them to the prize.

The Tempest escorts one of the Federation's most renowned scientists on an expedition into Klingon space to find an ancient artifact that could make the Klingons an unstoppable force if they were to find it first.

The situation inside the habitat comes to a head when the Tempest crew are caught in the middle of a coup attempt and have to make a decision that would irrevocably change the society inside.

The crew learn more about how the giant spacecraft works and finally manages to make contact with the locals, but making their way out may not be as easy as it was to come in...

The  Tempest investigates a massive and mysterious ship in a remote area of Federation of space.

And we're off with the second half of season 1! Before we jump into the story of mission 6, The Tempest Tossed , here's a quick prologue that introduces the homebrew XP system Brian created for this campaign and introduced to the players at the start of this mission. A couple players end up spending some points right at the end of the mission, so you'll want to make sure you give this a listen bef...
