Been hankering after Traveller but really want to run in the T2300 setting.
The idea I've come up with so far is that an expedition has been sent to mining outpost near a remote colony.
The Corporation in charge is seemingly focused on some ruins located within the system, but part of the way there the system sends out a distress call before going silent.
Upon arriving the system consists of 6 worlds and two asteroid belts with the mining outpost located in one of the asteroid belts and the only known inhabitable world being the second orbit and is more of a water world with limited surface land mass.
The only kink is that there are a few inhabitable moons most are located in orbit of one of the gas giants in the system and are the result of the gas giant providing enough warmth and breathable gas to keep them inhabitable.
However despite attempts to communicate there's no response.
Its shortly after they arrive that another ship jumps in system and if hailed reveals they've been sent by the nearest system to deliver supplies to the colony due to a suspected outbreak though she wasn't told what it was only to deliver the supplies, maintain quarantine regulations before heading back out.
The head of the team aboard the PCs ship isn't happy at the newcomer's presence and is quite hostile her actions should be alarming given the current circumstances.
Does this sound doable in T2300 to you?
I'd go into greater detail, but I figured this was enough to see if this would be a suitable start to an adventure in that setting?
Many tahnks in advance!
