What we know so far...

I thought I'd do a brief summary of some of the things that have been learnt about the planet Britannia so far, or events that have happened since the player characters arrived:
  • The Ruins - as the long range scans from the Odysseus indicated there are ruins on the planet that would appear to have been made by humanoids or similar. The walls of which appear to be made from single pieces of stone/mineral rather than individual bricks or blocks
  • The Phone - amidst the rubble of the ruin the team found a Sony branded smartphone. Although he has not shared this yet, Ryland has been able to access some of the data on the phone. The model dates from the early 2050s (just before the period Historians class as the "Aberrant War") but last held a charge in the 2080s. It should be noted that the "Chinese Ultimatum" when the Aberrants left Earth took place in 2067...
  • The tribe - The player characters have discovered that they are not alone. To the east of the ruins is a small village of primitive tribes-folk. They appear to be similar to humans and are of stocky, South Asian appearance.  They appear to speak in a dialect similar to those of the tribes of Papua New Guinea on Earth but have pallid complexions and large gill-like structures on either side of their necks.  Kojo attempted to communicate with them but they responded with violence. Afterwards he was able to identify that they seemed to believe the team were some form of supernatural being or deities
  • The leavers - Two of the team; Lilli and Ivy were called back to the Odysseus and the team were sent replacements in the form of new dharacters. 
  • The planes - the group witnessed a low altitude fly-by from a flight of black hybrid aircraft. They have not been able to identify them other than they appeared to be military vessels and were heading East to West.
  • The comms - For a time Odysseus entered radio silence and the team were instructed to hold position. Janos has been able to re-establish contact but the first datapacket he received has security headers indicating an encounter with Aberrants.

How it begins....or "why I've dumped all my other campaigns to run Trinity again"

There is a lot of shit about at present; globally, nationally, locally and personally. The last few years have had some dreadful events (affecting me both directly and indirectly) and 2019 is shaping up to be cast in a similar image. To this end I feel like I need some positive escapism in my gaming, with something that even though it may have dramatic or tragic moments, is ultimately hopeful and optimistic. As points of reference I mean "hope" like that of the first Star Wars film (Episode IV) and the optimistic outlook of Classic Star Trek. I need the sense of heroic adventure of the pulps i.e. Flash Gordon and Buck Rogers. I obviously can't completely cut myself off from negative imagery in the world, and that isn't my intention. But I can avoid steeping myself in it for "fun". I'm not ruling out that I may occasionally wish to include elements of horror, tension or threat in whatever game I run but I would like to do that in an a

The Campaign Concept

Our player characters will be a part of a UN sponsored task force heading out to an extra-solar system. The campaign will begin on "Absolute Zero" station on Vesta, the second largest body in the Asteroid Belt and site of the attack in 2105 that signalled the return of the Aberrants. “A-Naught” is the belt’s equivalent of a frontier town, offering shops, restaurants, and entertainment to miners and refinery workers. It’s also the main outer-system base for the UN Space Guard and the Seventh Legion. Most ships heading farther out of the solar system stop here for supplies and maintenance and hence it will be here that our characters find themselves as the various elements of the mission muster and assemble. The task force is based around the Leviathan jump ship "Odysseus". Odysseus himself carries a selection of support craft within his internal bays; a full fighter squadron and eight space/atmosphere hybrid transports. Added to this, four Orgotek
