With Antares 2 due sometime 2022, we thought we'd introduce some of the background to the Antares universe as it has become to support the 2nd Edition. To start with, we'll run through a few episodes of a short story concerned with, of course, the Algoryn and the Ghar Commanders Karg and Fartok...
That story is called 'Revenge', and this is episode one of that story.
