Adventure: Where in Space is Captain Enigma's Treasure?

Captain Enigma was a highly successful if a bit paranoid space pirate. She raided merchant ships from one end of the galaxy to the other and was famous for almost never spending her ill-gotten gains. She regularly paid off her crew, fired them, and then stashed the rest in secret remote asteroids. She would pull into port with an empty ship, take on a full crew and begin the pirate cycle anew.

Although she disappeared completely some time ago, people still stumble upon one of her secret treasure hoards. The fact that people keep finding her treasure is a testament to how successful she was.

Luckily for the player, he recently came upon a map that shows where one of Captain Enigma’s treasures are hidden. Unluckily for the player, the sentient who sold the player the map also sold a copy to another group.

First determine the competitor for the treasure. Roll a d6.

1 – Pirates of the same race as the controlling ring.
2 – Xeog Pirates who love this kind of treasure hunt.
3 – Free Company mercenaries.
4 or 5 – Military from the controlling ring.
6 – Star Navy Admiral willing to abuse his power to get some retirement fund money.

Determine size of the force as if generating an encounter for a patrol contact mission.

Make rolls for long rang scans. Determine starting distance from one another. The Treasure Asteroid is halfway between the two forces, but 6 inches closer to the side with the higher long range scan roll.

Getting the treasure isn’t too hard. A ship must board the asteroid and search it for treasure. Unlike ship boarding, the ship can keep their shields up but are still unable to fire guns. Roll 2 dice against their Rep and count successes.

0 successes – Captain Enigma hid it well. Pirates are confused by the multiple false doors, strangely carved X’s into the rock and false crater openings.
1 Success – The pirates begin to untangle the multiple clues that Captain enigma left behind. Turns out that X does mark the spot, but which X? Add an extra die to future search rolls.
2 Successes – The pirates find the treasure! They begin transfer of treasure and may leave the asteroid next turn.

First group to leave with the treasure wins. Note that a ship can simply break off from fighting the turn after they get the treasure.

The treasure stashed away in the asteroid is 5d6 x 10CV.
