Tomb of The Cylons - Set Up

I've got a game coming up over at my friend Larry's place & the premise is pretty simple. I'll be using the Stars Without Numbers system to simulate this. A group of hired soldiers is send to find out what happened a survey ship out on the Outer Rim. I got the idea from this parody of the A Team. 


The USS John Brown has been written off as pirate & traitor to the United Planets. She & her crew have been convicted of treasonous acts against the fleet. She flies  in shadow & moves in silence. Any commander seeing her is to blow her from the he space lanes! 
Actually she is both a soldier of fortune vessel & a ship operating as a crack commando unit. Her unit takes on missions of the ultra black status for the fleet!
Mission Briefing 
 
The Deep Space Science Research Vessel Phoenix has not been heard from for over 3 weeks. There have been reports of raiders destroying settlements along the Tauran war zones.They were checking on an ancient ruins within a gas giant Harvard 7.   


                                The Deep Space Science Research Vessel Phoenix is weakly signalling from a decaying orbit 




  
  Within the rolling green pea soup of storms & mysteries of Havard 7 there's an ancient evil that has awakened once more! The crew of  the Phoenix are in tatters after the scientist's explorations aboard the "ruins" have trip to life the Cylons once again. For floating with the gas oceans of Havard are a Cylon Battlestar! 
   
 
She has been dormant since the end of the last Cylon war on standby for a conflict that never came. Her systems have been maintaining themselves ever since. Now the Cylons are accessing the situation & studying the human animals once again!

The Cylons don't know how much time has passed or what the current situation is at all. They're Imperious Leader is considering its options at this time. Already centurions are being updated & fitted with weapons systems. 


Those who have encountered the Cylon menace are at a loss. These interlopers from history are ancient, vicious, & totally beings of legend & fairy tales. 


People of the galactic community are in state of shock! The Taurans are at a loss as both their side & the Humans are attacked with impunity. Both sides blaming the other!

 The Cylon battle star sits like a spider quietly biding its time & its motives remain frighteningly silent & sinister. 


The PCs are aboard the John Brown a Leif Garrison class hyper space carrier. They are out gunned, out classed, & involving themselves in a War Of The Gods that they have no idea about!
 You see there are other forces from beyond watching this amusing events with baited breath!
