According to scholars and historians, a race named the Ancients dominated known space for tens of thousands of years. These Ancients accomplished great works – they moved whole planets, built titanic machines and wonders, and even transplanted Humaniti from its original home of Sol to a hundred other worlds. They cared for the primitive Vilani; they uplifted the Vargr to sapience. Then, approximately 300,000 years ago, the Ancients vanished. It is speculated they fled known space, or committed mass suicide, or were wiped out in a cosmic war – either a civil war between different factions, or in a clash with an equally super-advanced and even more mysterious species. Whatever the cause, the scholars all agree on one thing – the Ancients are dead and gone. The scholars are wrong.
Secrets of the Ancients delves into the dark past of the Charted Space universe and the legacy of a race of incredibly advanced and powerful aliens. The Travellers see sights no human has ever dreamed of, meddle with powers beyond understanding, clash with secret factions in the Imperium, and ultimately help shape the destiny of all Charted Space.
Based on and greatly expanding the original Classic Traveller Adventure 12, the ten-episode Secrets of the Ancients starts your Travellers off on Regina in the familiar Spinward Marches, but quickly escalates to take them to Alell, Boughene, and from there to dimensions unknown.
The Spinward Marches sourcebook Behind the Claw is useful for this adventure.
