From the introduction:
Cardanian President Foxline takes an ill-advised trip by airplane to the nortwest to negotiate with the Wolf Barbarians on Bird Island. Her plane crashes, or is shot down, over N’Yak, but luckily the last transmission from the aircraft indicates her survival pod had ejected and landed somewhere in the N’Yak Burrow of The Bronx. Unknown to the players her capsule’s impact also exposes an unexploded short-range nuclear missile which had been buried in the Glass Nematode building, a structure that survived the Crash. To add to the tragedy the president was also in the possession of top-secret holotapes containing many of Cardania’s most important codes. The PCs are hired – or forced – to travel to the ruined city of N’Yak to rescue the president and bring her back to Cardania before the ruling Great Yak’s gangs execute her or trade her to the Empire, and to retrieve or destroy the holotapes. What’s worse, the gangs also capture the nuclear warhead, and may sell it to the Empire or unintentionally explode it. The PCs have to navigate hostile territory without attracting too much attention to themselves, and somehow confront or suborn the Great Yak and his forces to rescue their beloved president.
This adventure is designed for intermediate or advanced characters (levels 5-10) with a broad range of military, infiltration and technical skills, and who are capable of operating against superior numbers in hostile territory. Soldiers, scouts, rangers, nuclear scientists and criminals would make ideal candidates. Events are structured to occur as the players proceed and depend on player choices, but time is of the essence.
