Whoops, sorry about that. It should be accessible now.
Excellent use of the setting, well thought out and ideas that make me want to give this a go. Great to see it.
I really love the whole concept behind ComSats buried in satellites. I think it's a bit confusing where the two ComSats have come from; I saw one introduced clearly but didn't catch the introduction of the second one. Love how it tracks the progress of each faction, good mechanic.
The lore is the best part. How much of the lore is from Cepheus and how much did you invent for this adventure? :)
Yeah, the introduction of the second ComSat could’ve been more clear. The second ComSat is mentioned for the first time in the last sentence of the first page. It’s existence is just as an opportunity for the adventure to continue into a third act. If I revise this, I’ll provide more details for ComSat 2 and better explain how it fits into the larger situation.
As for lore, the basic political situation (cold war between Earth and Luna), the factions, and the ship designations (“DMV” and “Rock Hopper”) are from the Orbital 2100 setting. The only original lore I wrote are the names of the ships and NPCs, the details of ComSats, and the details of Ceres (which oddly was never detailed in the original Orbital 2100 setting, despite being the largest object in the main asteroid belt).
