I will whip you up an adventure using Designing Sci-Fi Scenarios by Better Games
For Mission Patron I drew Queen Clubs - Journalist - Generally PC's don't like reporters but this one seems straight forward and honest.
Patron's Quirks - 2 Diamonds - Patron has unshakeable courage and stalwart dedication. Loads of frontline battle experience. Several Cimmer speak good things about the Patron.
Main Mission - 7 Hearts - Lead a group of Guards to repress a revolt or in support of a tyrant's atrocities.
Mission Quirk - King of Diamonds - To complete the mission the players will mistakenly believe (or are lead to believe) they need the help of a person who will prove to be a handicap or detriment.
Patron's Reason / Motivation - 5 Clubs - Legal, moral, or political motive - whishes to secure rights and privileges for a minority group that are not currently recognized.
Reason's Changes and Attitudes - 4 Spades - Patron's motives are so distasteful, that some of the players will feel drawn to support opposition by scenario's end. (well this is a unique twist)
Patron's Finances / Resources - Queen of Spades - Patron has Influence with elite troopers in military; might enlist aid from Guard Units or his/thier own private garrisons.
Finance's Problems and Difficulties - 9 of Hearts - Patron also manages area's garrison ships and warehouses. - Rival is memeber of opposing political party that says NO to such expenditures.
Difficult Situations / Unforeseen Opponents - 4 Clubs - Local government and Guards will approach to try and stop mission before it starts.
Other Unguessables and Modifiers - Ace Clubs - Mission can only succeed by entering a previously undocumented system of Space.
Principle Rival - WHO??? - Jack Spades - (oh they are done for now) Nobody Expects the Spacial Inquistion - Mission RIVAL is GRAND INQUISITOR!
Rival Broaden and Flesh Out - 8 Diamonds - Rival openly flaunts his / their illegal ways' most fear rival to much and do nothing.
Where - Specific Site of Mission Climax - Ace of Spades - Ruins of City or Archaeological site.
Additional Details to Where - King of Clubs - Capital World - Home Base of Politicla Organization or Corporate Organization.
Hope you like this little space opera. :)
