On ROLL20 & DISCORD

ACT ONE

Scene One

07:00 June 1st 2300

THE USS Bellevue DE 157 enters the gravity well of the Ellis system and drops below light speed. The ship was already on the way to help combat the heightened space piracy occurring in this system over the last decade, but which had escalated exponentially over the last two years. Then the April NEW AMERICA uprising on Ellis took the core worlds by surprise. Instead of a casual shakedown cruise through the American Star Arm, it turned into a race against time as Intel recovered at the "Battle of Beech Grove Canyon" reveled that the Space pirates robbing the space miners in the rich asteroid fields of Ellis's two gas giants are actually a branch of the NEW AMERICA terrorists.
