How to Introduce the Characters
In Riders of the Maelstrom: Act 1: Escape from Aris our HEROES start the adventure In Media Res (Latin for “In the Middle of Things”) Our Heroes are being chased across a residential platform. They are on foot fleeing stormtroopers in the tropical rain forest planet of Aris. The Game Master can explain that upon returning from their mission on Questal, General Dravits Draven of Rebel Intelligence received a transmission from an asset known as Dagger. They were dispatched to Aris to infiltrate a secret meeting between two Imperial Moffs. However, things quickly fell apart when upon arrival one of the Rebel Agents talked a port forman into loaning him 25 credits only to pay the man 25 credits as a tip. This enraged the forman resulting in him calling the Imperials. Then when questioned by the Stormtroopers one of the Rebel Agents smarted off stating they were Imperial Boot Inspectors.
