The Mote Perspective

From publisher blurb:

The tiny, unusual planet Mote, beyond the borders of the interstellar government, goes almost overnight from an unassuming backwater to a hotbed of mineralogical study. When the heroes accept an assignment to ferry a consignment of cargo to one of the survey teams on the planet, they find themselves dealing with hostile natives, the fate of a missing surveyor, and taboo territory. Success leads to discovering the secret of the planet; failure means death by way of a stone spear.

The Mote Perspective is a short, no-frills adventure for Cepheus Engine and other tabletop RPG science fiction games using a 2D6 mechanic (including The Original Science Fiction Roleplaying Game) starring characters of varied career backgrounds.
