Ambush at Altair

Armoured in a power suit and equipped with the best weapons in existence, a Mobile Infantry trooper is a match for any Arachnid. When the power suit's batteries flicker and die, however, when the mighty weapons run dry of ammunition, the tables are turned. In Ambush at Altair, the troopers face an Arachnid menace made all the more terrible by the troopers' own isolation. They are the one and only line of defense facing a sudden and unexpected Arachnid assault on Federation space, on the Altair colony of Tango Urilla, fighting with extremely limited resources against a seemingly endless flood of enemies. Ambush at Altair, a 32-page scenario for the Starship Troopers Role-playing Game, pits a handful of troopers, running low on weapons, ammunition and armor, against a hostile world brimming with Arachnids. If they fail, the colony will fall. If they survive, they will be heroes of the Federation.
