Energy Curve (2300AD role playing game)

The LaFarge made its final call at a human port at Hochbaden over two. years ago, heading into the middle of the Kafer conflict - on Trilon company business. When they did not return no one was too surprised. They'd probably fallen victims of the war and that was that. But now a routine survey vessel has picked up survivors from the crew of the LaFarge, and they tell an incredible story of treks across the ice fields of a glaciated world, stories of a strange alien race on the verge of civilization.
