Phobos Acquisitions (Special Tasks Division)

15mm Sci-Fi Miniatures

We picked up some Maschinen Kreiger 15mm sci-fi miniatures as they were superb designs and were fun and different to paint. We used them to try out the Rogue Planet simple sci-fi/fantasy rules, which were fun, although we only got in two games before I started to think about house rules. I wrote the following to give context to our sci-fi miniature painting and gaming and decided to record it here.

Martian Enterprises

Some years after the first manned missions to Mars opened the planet up economically, extensive efforts were made by several corporations to set up mining and energy production operations. However, strong competition and hazy application of earth laws lead some corporations having to 'go kinetic.' Security and defence systems were hastily adapted to the hostile environmental conditions on Mars and deployed by these corporations to defend and expand their resource leases and protect the peace of mind of their shareholders.

Phobos Acquisitions

Phobos Acquisitions is an enterprise that is really going places (to Mars), and is at the forefront of extraplanetary resource development. Phobos Acquisitions is proud of its Special Tasks Division, which is at the cutting edge of security technology and goal-oriented strategy in non- or semi-atmospheric and low-to-zero gravity environments and employing a diverse workforce. Shareholders can be assured that their investments are in safe hands with Phobos Acquisitions.
