Thse situations do make for interesting scenarios. It is also a unit balancing
mechanism for the scenario designer, since only one set of units, be it
starships or vehicles, need to be designed.

I have some ideas for Second American Civil War scenarios for Dirtside, but I
haven't done much beyond designing vehicles for the US in that time period.

This scenario is about two years old and was prepared for an early ECC, but
was not run as a convention event. We did run it as a playtest game and it was
a bloody game. The units are based on the More Thrust ships.

A Family Crisis

A three player Full Thrust scenario

Background:

The war with the Humans has run into difficulties and the lead War Family
Voc'Tcha and its leader, Va'Ksha'Voc have come under increasing scrutiny.
Ra'Chak'Voc of the War Family Voc'San and Di'Soo'Voc of the War Family Voc'Xik
have allied themselves for the purposes of killing Va'Ksha'Voc and assuming
leadership of the Kra'Vak. Both leaders have their own ambitions to achieve
once Va'Ksha has been eliminated.
