Ordeal By Eshaar
It had seemed like a good idea at the time . . . the rising specter of war in the
Spinward Marches threatened military service and - worse yet - slack business
as the fear of raiders and Zhodani fleets grounded merchant starships. The adventurers
had been debating where to go next, with the general consensus being
"anywhere but the Spinward Marches!" So, when Dwil hault-Everuis of the Imperial
Diplomatic Corps offered the group a job with an embassy somewhere outside
the Imperium, it hadn't taken much to convince them. After all , 300 credits
per week plus travel , subsistence, and lodging . . . a draw on government equipment
. . . and a hefty bonus after a successful tour of duty . . . these were
pretty good inducements to get away from a region that suddenly looked unhealthy.

THE VARGR EMBASSY
The third dome of the Enclave living modules has been set aside to hold dignitaries

of approximately 30 individuals . This mission is from the Dominion of Stars, a

The Vargr in the Enclave do not participate in Survey activity; they are present
as observers and supporters of their Zhodani allies. They have a limited amount of
sharproofed equipment for those occasions when they do venture outside the
Enclave. Within the domes, they have the use of the same general range of eq,uipment
as is available to the Imperial and Zhodani groups.
Though they are allied with the Zhodani, the Vargr in the Enclave do use
psionic shielding equipment, both large screens to protect their living area and individual
helmets for use in the common area . Even allies are not fond of having
their minds open to outside inspection.
