Nephon Sector One-Shot
For the one-shot, the players will be Lawmen, dispatched by the Toko central government to patrol the Hero system.
We'll be using the Dogs in the Vineyard system; this is the trial run, so show up or be the loser who had to ask his friends what happened in those R-rated movies his parents didn't allow him to see!
The Role of the Lawman
The Cast
The cast is simply the crew of the Bishamon, a low-level Toko patrol boat. The first one to arrive on the night of play will be the captain; we'll create characters and ties between them as people arrive, then we'll start into the scenario.
Lawman Training
Lawmen all go through rigorous initiation to prove their competence, judgement, and humanity. The Lawmen aren't blunt instruments. If the Toko Authority needed force, they'd send soldiers. Instead, a Lawman's job is to ensure that the social machine functions properly, and if neccesary, to determine to what extent Toko's law must shift to accomodate the changing environment.
Lawmen are ultimately responsible for ensuring Toko power; thus, while they're empowered to bend the rules to ensure compliance in a locality, they cannot break the rules.
The Mission
The Bishamon has been deployed to bring to justice a notorious criminal, Curtis Sunfield, wanted for several robberies of corporate and government interests across the planet of Hero V, the only habitable planet in the Hero system. Current intelligence places him at the town of Best Girl on that planet.
