Warlords
The world is plagued by warlords. Numerous powerful men and women control private armies sufficiently strong to cow whatever local government may exist. On the lands they claim, their word is law. Most spend their time oppressing their own subjects and murderously pillaging those of their neighbors. Most like to wrap themselves in the mantle of ideology, religious fervor, or an ostensibly legitimate right to rule.
Enemies:
- Warlord
- Avaricious lieutenant

- Aspiring minion
Friends:

Complications:

Hatred
For whatever reason, this world’s populace has a burning hatred for the inhabitants of a neighboring system. Perhaps this world was colonized by exiles, or there was a recent interstellar war, or ideas of racial or religious superiority have fanned the hatred. Regardless of the cause, the locals view their neighbors and any sympathizers with loathing.
Enemies:
- Native convinced that the offworlders are agents of Them
- Cynical politician in need of scapegoats
Friends:
- Intelligence agent needing catspaws
- Documentary producers needing “an inside look”
- Unlucky offworlder from the hated system
Complications:
- The characters are wearing or using items from the hated world
- The characters are known to have done business there
- The characters “look like” the hated others
Things:
- Proof of Their evildoing
- Reward for turning in enemy agents
- Relic stolen by Them years ago
Places:
- War crimes museum
- Atrocity site
- Captured and decommissioned spaceship kept as a trophy
