Marine Expeditionary Force

Your five man team is among the many expeditionary forces sent into deep space. Luckily you've landed on a planet capable of sustaining life with an atmosphere similar to earth. You have brought logistical supplies consisting of food, medicine, and firearms to support your team. You have the firepower but lack steel, silver, wood, and components that must instead be harvested from the planet itself. Obtain a colonial hold and relink with the Naval flotilla once a hard point has been established. Be warned Marine, these Expeditionary missions have a slim success rate.

Your people will be between 18 and 42 years old.

I wanted to create a fun scenario that wasn't necessarily over powered. Though your Marines are armed, they do not contain any power armor or advanced weaponry. You start with a pretty solid defense capability but in turn begin with no starting resources and lose events that normally give you a "free" colonist. With five colonists also comes five hungry mouths to feed. They will deteriorate your starting food supply rapidly so you must quickly establish a sustainable food source for your colony. With lack of steel and components upon landing, you must also create a solid mining operation as soon as possible. Consisting entirely of Marines, all members of your team will be between 18 and 42 years old. This scenario will become quite a challenge if you do not rapidly create a substainable colony. Terrible moods and assault rifles don't go well.

Please leave any feedback in the comments, favorite, and share!

If you enjoy this please let me know and I'll make more. I try to make my scenarios fun, realistic, and challenging. I find overpowered scenarios to be extremly boring.

Enjoy!
