Cetagandan occupation of Barrayar
I will be running a SpaceMaster 2 game for the convention. It will be using the Rolemaster Classic ruleset with some modifications to better fit a SpaceMaster game. GMBazUK was nice enough to create a new graphics theme that better fits a SpaceMaster game.
The adventure is set in the universe of the Vorkosigan Saga by Lois McMaster Bujold. The PCs will be Barrayans from the Vorkosigan district. They will be resistance fighters in the Imperial Military reporting to General Piotr Vorkosigan. The adventure takes place shortly after the nuclear strike on Vorkosigan Vashnoi, the capital of Vorkosigan District.

Background
Barrayar is an earth colony that was cutoff from the rest of the galaxy when their wormhole collapsed exposing the world to radiation. This forced them to focus on survival since the native vegetation is poisonous to Earth-descended life. Their technology wore out over time without being able to be replaced. Barrayar degenerated into a feudal society over the next few centuries.
About 25 years ago a new wormhole was found leading from Komarr to Barrayar ending the Time of Isolation. Barrayar was transitioning back into galactic society when about 10 years ago the Cetagandan empire attacked. They used nuclear weapons to take out the shuttleports and moved into to occupy Barrayar. The Barrayarans have engaged in guerilla warfare to fight the Cetagandans.
Count Piotr Vorkosigan has turned Vorkosigan District into one of the strongest centers of resistance. Because of his accomplishments fighting the Cetaganadans, Piotr earned the rank of General when he was 23 years old. The Cetagandans, frustrated with the resistance in Vorkosigan District, pulled out of Vorkosigan Vashnoi and bombed it with nuclear weapons.
