Zone 44

Something strange fell from the sky. Terrravast won’t say what it was. The Salvage Council wants what’s left of it. As a Reclaimer you’ve signed your name away, now it’s time to get planet side and earn it back.

Zone 44 is a planet-side sandbox campaign for Mothership. Corporate betrayal, reality-warping anomalies, and desperate survival on a quarantined world.

An unknown cosmic object struck planet TV00483 and destroyed the Terravast terraforming colony. What if left behind changed everything. The atmosphere has turned hostile. The wildlife and survivors have been twisted into something unrecognizable. The Zone quarantined. Four megacorporations have formed a Salvage Council to strip the zone for profit and search for fragments. Their disposable labor, Reclaimers like you.

Run Zone 44 as a full campaign, pull individual adventures for a one-shots, or drop the whole zone into your existing game.
