Never was this proven more fully than in the year 2196. With certain doom hurtling toward out planet, the free countries of the world united and prepared for a mass exodus aboard a score of gargantuan transports. But our escape was just the beginning of the adventure. By some freak occurrence, our ship, the "Dawning Star", was sent hurtling across the galaxy. We found ourselves alone, cut off from the fleet, in alien territory. It was not in our nature to give up. We found a habitable planet and began our new life. In the intervening years, we have encountered strange new species, overcome dire threats, and taken the first few steps in building a new life. Dawning Star: Operation Quick Launch introduces the Dawning Star Campaign Setting and provides everything you need to launch a high-adventure science-fiction campaign on the planet Eos: A full Description of the Velin, the other primary species on Eos Dozens of talent trees, occupations, skills, feats, racial classes, advanced classes and prestige classes An exhaustive list of equipment, weapons, armor, gear, cybernetic implants, vehicles and starships Strange, new xenomorphs, including the exotic Eotian fauna, the mysterious Tentaari, and the shadow-shrouded Vaasi. The Eotian lands presented in exacting detail, including maps, regional descriptions, NPCs, and a full adventure to start your campaign with all the energy of a Davinger Ion Drive Dawning Star is a science-fiction setting of high adventure, carefully constucted to provide a myriad of possibilities for players and GMs alike. It was built on the rules from D20 Modern. Dawning Star: Operation Quick launch is an introduction to the setting as a whole. It focuses on the planet Eos, the site of the new human civilization. As you will soon learn, it operates admirably as a standalone product. It was designed to allow you to launch your campaign on the planet of Eos and enjoy a rich role-playing experience. Dawning Star was created to support a number of campaign modules with equal aplomb. Like adjusting the levels on your stereo to accentuate a particular piece of music, a few minor tweaks will result in just the kind of role-playing experience you are looking for. Dawning Star has a strong undercurrent of the early frontier or the Wild West. Setting your campaign outside the walls of Dawning Star and focusing on interaction with the Velin or the faction-camps will augment the aspect. Playing the Velin or an analog to Native Americans is also easily accomplished. With the existence of numerous ruins and unexplored territories, Dawning Star can take on a strong "pulp" feel. To accentuate this quality, send the PCs on adventures to the remotest regions of the planet on a hunt for the rarest of alien artifacts. The number of off-world encounters should be limited. To undertake a grim and gritty campaign, increase the presence of the Vaasi. They might swarm across the open plains just beyond the Dawning Star walls. It is up to the PCs to turn back the tide. Alternatively, making the Eotian environment more inhospitable, requiring technological advances to merely survive, also serves that goal. For a campaign with more space opera tones, you can simply use the Dawning Star city-ship as a launch point, a home world to which the PCs can return after rigorous space battles. Add additional alien species from other sources or your own devising. Even by the standard of such campaigns, Dawning Star is maeglopolis and can provide a vibrant locale.
