Ganymede Outriders

Beyond the domed settlements of Ganymede lies The Frost. Inhabited by separitists, gangs, and dissidents, The Frost is a dangerous and lawless place. And there are the raptors.

As deadly as these frozen wilds might be, they still must be traversed. Magnetically accelerated delivery pods called Bullets regularly land wide of their targets and in this zone. BacFarms which maintain the thin atmosphere need to be kept online. Vast Dust Mills, largely abandoned, need to be cleared of whatever gangs are using them for shelter.

This is the job of the Ganymede Outriders: to fix, retrieve, solve, deliver, transport, and defend…
