“There are perhaps many causes worth dying for, but to me, certainly, there are none worth killing for.” - Albert Dietrich
Theme:
The year is 2027 and the world is in Turmoil. The nation of Interum is the Hegemon of the world. Their power has made them a target for the other nations of the world. Constantly at war, fighting and battle are are part of life for most Interians. Many children aspire to become soldiers, and the military is glorified through pro-war media.
To the north of Interum lies its only ally, a small nation called Tellosia. The truce is shaky at best, so Interum has a series of smaller border guard outposts (BGO’s) on its Tellosian border. One such BGO is NO-36. A small, four-room concrete construct built in an isolated mountain pass. The six soldiers stationed there are either unskilled rookies or veterans sent there for punishment.
For two years, the most pressing issue facing these six soldiers was boredom. That was until Tellosia declared war. Taking advantage of the weak border, Tellosia invaded. Fortunately for our six, no forces trudged through their mountain path. Interum high-command realises the relative uselessness of NO-36 and elects to disband it. As our six prepare to be scattered throughout the other BGO’s, they get a call from HQ. There is a large invasion force heading their way. Reinforcements from the Capital are heading their way via dropship. Just as the invasion force closes in, the dropship crashes. This leaves only one survivor, who has already regrouped with the six. Together, they will endure the horrors of war.
The Seven.

Mid-range rifle, useful in many combat scenarios.
The PDP (Personal Defense Pistol) is a simple sidearm used by Police and Millitary alike. It has high accuracy, an integrated silencer, and decent stopping power. Its light weight and low recoil have led some soldiers to forego their rifles and dual-wield PDP’s instead
The Serpent is the perfection of the Vibro-blade technology. The edge of the blade vibrates at incredible speed, allowing it to cut through harder materials. This can be done for up to five minutes at a time, and it must be given two minutes to recharge for every minute active. Even when not in Vibro-mode, the Serpent is still a solid, dependable knife.
The Albrecht Ubergrenade design has remained unchanged for decades. The reason being that the design is near-perfect. A dial on the top of the grenade switches between an incendiary mode, a fragmentation mode, and a concussion mode. Some models have a smoke function in the place of the incendiary function.
The standard issue EHCS is a model disdainfully referred to by soldiers as the “Clunker”. The suit is heavy and noisy. Most soldiers have either modified the suit or have purchased their own ECHS’s from different companies. Every suit has an internal climate regulator, keeping the wearer safe from extreme heat or cold. They also have jump jets in the heels allowing for enhanced mobility. While some models don’t have it, the Clunker has a deployable vibro-blade in the forearm.
While almost all fighting is done while wearing ECHS’s, the Interum Army issues every soldier a uniform that is typically worn in non-combat situations or scenarios where ECHS’s are unusable. The above is the special version of the uniform issued to northern BGO soldiers who operate in a constantly cold climate.- Rules
- GM is your benevolent dictator and his word is law but don’t be afraid to voice your opinions. I screw up sometimes.
