Description[edit]

Dark Age Turning Points: Vega is the second and final release of the Dark Age Turning Points series of PDF web exclusives produced by Catalyst Game Labs. The product uses the Chaos Campaign rules and provides a campaign setting for players to delve into the fight for control of Vega. The campaign is based on the events of Dark Age Novel, Trial by Chaos, by J. Steven York. It allows for players to use small size forces to planetary scale combat.

From the Back Cover[edit]

For the planet Vega, the collapse of the hyperpulse generator network signaled the beginning of four years of chaos. Beset by terrorists, foreign invaders and the shattering of the planetary militia in a devastating civil war, the world descended into a seemingly endless spiral of death and destruction. Ruthless warlords divided the land and fought amongst themselves to claim what little remained of the old Vega. With the Republic suffering its own troubles, there was scant hope of relief from any outside force.

And then the Bears came.

Enacting contingency plans created decades earlier, the Rasalhague Dominion sends its forces to stabilize several worlds of the Republic. But their reception is anything but warm and the Clanners will have to face local resistance and malicious outside influences to save Vega from itself. Isis Bekker and her Raging Bears are up for the task, but will they have the strength and the time to see it through?

Dark Age Turning Points: Vega uses Chaos Campaign rules and gives players the option of fighting individual battles, following a campaign arc, inserting it into their own campaigns and even creating their own scenarios with optional rules to give their games a “Vega flavor.” The ebook includes a detailed map of the world of Vega, a run down of the forces involved in the conflict, and several tracks that players can use to run simple lance-on-lance battles, or stage up to a world-wide invasion. Only the players' imaginations are the limits.

Notes[edit]

  • Unlike other sourcebooks, Dark Age Turning Points: Vega lacks an explicit table of contents. The list shown here was assembled from page headings.
  • A BattleCorps exclusive scenario entitled Freaks Come Out at Night was released, with page numbers 22 & 23, placing it at the end of the tracks and before the record sheets. Chronologically it occurs between "Last Ditch Effort" and "Enemy of My Enemy."
