Map Information
Maps provide you and your team a rough guideline for which to create your adventure. This will help keep your story in the bounds of the mission, but you are by no means limited to what you see. Always keep in mind that you define how event unfold, but keep it realistic.
Mission
Phase I
Your team has departed Antei after receiving an operations order from the Dark Council. Intelligence reporting indicates the SSD Avenger II's external weapons will be hampered by the effects of the Shroud allowing your shuttle to dock at an axillary hangar bay, but opposition is expected to be extreme once on board.
Your team has been tasked to board the ship and secure a small hangar bay. Additional teams will be operating throughout the ship in a simultaneous attack designed to confuse and disrupt enemy forces.
Be prepared for trouble. And remember, the obvious route is not always the best one...
