David Cook's intro to Volturnus? A new campaign start?

<div>RE: Polyhedron #9</div><div>published the same year as Star Frontiers</div><div><br /></div><div>with Raoul Debonham, an Assistant Xenopologist (whatever that is), on the PGC Artifact Research and Development Team who encounters Nothru Far Rider, an Ul-Mor and his loper mount on Laco while investigating the ancient Tetrarch city ruins. <br /></div><div><br /></div><div>So what if this was the true start of the Volturnus campaign?</div><div><br /></div><div>Have Nothru describe a space journey to the PCs that is 2 void jumps with the first landing being on Laco. The Players will have to look at the Frontier star Map and make a guess at where Nothru came from. The loss of the first Volturnus Survey Expedition might be common knowledge in the exploration community so they might surmise that maybe Nothru was a native of this new system, Zebulon. Quite possibly one of the PCs is related to a member of the Volturnus Survey Expedition that went missing. <br /></div><div><br /></div><div>Nothru will have something in his pouch that makes the powers that be in the PGC ARDT command chain highly interested in Nothru's point of origin. Samples of Vibranium (from the pirate outpost in Planet of Mystery) or eorna artifact?</div><div><br /></div><div>So there is a sending of a team to investigate and to return Nothru to his people because that is the humane thing to do and because Nothru can be used to establish good relations with the natives and develope intel on the pirates. <br /></div>
