//Komoro Station// is a Transcendence adventure set in the Outer Realm.

===== Overview =====

In this adventure the player is tasked with assembling pilots and mercenaries to defend Komoro Station. However, the limited forces are also being recruited by a Militia commander and the Kobol Warlords.

==== Highlights ====

  * New player class (?)
  * The Kobol Syndicate
  * Xenophobes
  * Rogue Fleet

==== Story ====

When the Commonwealth Fleet pulls back from the Heian system, the large settlement of Komoro is left undefended and vulnerable to attack by Kobol Warlords and Xenophobes. The player must organize the irregular forces in the area into a proper fighting force. Unfortunately, the player is opposed by the governor of Komoro, who does not believe in the threat, and by a cocky Militia commander who feels that he should be the one to lead.

More worryingly, a traitor inside Komoro is sabotaging the station's defenses, and until the player can discover them, the station will be in no position to defend itself.

=== Characters ===

  * Governor of Komoro
  * Militia Commander
  * Traitor

===== Recruitment =====

The player can hail ship traffic to hire them. Some recruits are permanent, such as refugees, but commercial ships will often leave after a time (or demand more pay).

==== Hiring ====

The player is given a small budget, organized by some of //Komoro's// inhabitants, to hire mercenaries. The budget cannot be used frivolously or the citizens will not be willing to pay. Additionally, hiring outlaws or Rogue Fleet ships can cause the attitude of //Komoro's// governor toward the player to deteriorate.

  * Gaining the trust of the governor increases budget
  * Successfully defending the station increases budget
  * Hiring Rogue Fleet is cheap and gains the favor of citizens, but loses favor with governor
