Darrian outpost on Bowman

[Fresnel]

I saw this in AoCS Vol 3. I cannot find any details. Is this referencing a publish adventure?

There was a whole book devoted to the Darrians. Perhaps you could get a copy second-hand? It's not one of the PDF only books.

I am fascinated by this idea, and I found two interesting data points:

h t t p s://zarthani.net/traveller/history.htm refers to Darrian outposts all through what would later become the Sword Worlds, and Bowman is listed, citing Alien Module 8 and a number of GURPS Traveller references on the Sword Worlds.

AM8 blurb: "There was an extensive presence in District 268. A research facility on Dawnworld continued to operate for several years until its operators finally died of old age. A Darrian mining colony in the Bowman Belt suffocated when resupply ships never arrived. Small outposts throughout the subsector died off when their expected relief ships failed to show up."

This game log indicated the archeological investigation of the old colony was on Bowman/Epsilon:

For whatever reason, the forum thinks I am a spammer for including these references, so I added this text at the end to not appear spamlike.

Thanks

Thanks. I found the AM8 reference just before you replied.

I’ll check out the game log.

It’s a nice thread to build an adventure about. Old T16 and proto T17 tech waiting to be found by a rag-tag team of down on their luck belters…

"Ancient Darrian mining tech might be useful for an impossible heist, but LSP has also heard the rumors and is looking for it amongst the fiercely independent belter communities and their shadowy pirate contacts."

Yeah, this could be fun.

GDW's Beltstrike box set has some really useful stuff on this!

Ooh, I did not have that one.

It does. This looks like a great Belter campaign.

Still, I was hoping that someone could point me to a JTAS adventure where an abandoned Darrian mining station was already fleshed out.
