Publisher: AcchiappasogniThe Gravitational Artifact is a complete adventure module for Augusta Universalis, the Roleplaying Game of Humans and Empires Beyond the Stars.
Infinite mysteries, infinite resources, lie hidden among the stars. Man, naively and with exasperating arrogance, yearns to discover everything in the universe in which he lives. He aims to intimately understand the very fabric of the cosmos as he resides there; much like a fly enclosed in a jar, which tries to describe the shape and vastness of the whole world.
We delude ourselves into believing we know most of the physical laws that govern the stars, the galaxies … but it is only an illusion; a soap bubble made of dreams and arrogance. So as a result, even a little knowledge is enough to spark our curiosities as long as the universe decides to open even just a glimpse of its mysteries, because this bubble bursts!
Lafrenius Flavius Apellinus – Philosopher and astronomer of the Ordo Minervae
The solar system… Earth… A mysterious, incomprehensible signal suddenly reaches most external monitoring systems in our solar system, then spreads throughout the neighboring space through very powerful sub-spatial waves. Not words, rather impulses, that from the analysis immediately carried out by the most expert scholars of the Ordo Minervae, seem to present a sort of rhythm of precise logic. Without a doubt, it is not a spontaneous physical phenomenon, but some messages created by an intelligent life form, not categorized among the known forms of communication.
Soon after that, the incredible happens. Beyond the orbit of Pluto, less than 100,000 kilometers from our solar system, at 23:47 in the city of Rome, an unstable space portal opens, from which emerges a Sserath war cruiser.
Will be brave enough to investigate this mystery and travel beyond the unstable Pons Einstein-Roseni which pierces through space only to reach an unknown place in the Universe?
