Reclamation of the Wastes Campaign Map
Reclamation of the Wastes Campaign Details
The Reclamation of the Wastes Campaign is designed as an introduction to Salvage Union, a post-apocalyptic Mech tabletop RPG. It features multiple adventure locations, designed to guide Pilots from Tech 1 to Tech 3, and includes a fold out, A2, fully illustrated campaign map, pre-made Mech and Pilots, and a detailed campaign with 10 regions to explore, brimming with factions, new Mechs, characters and much more!
Centuries after Impact Day, the region known as Caldera in the Central Wastes, has become habitable once more, as the radiation levels fall to 'teeth tingling' levels, and the burning hot dusts settle to reveal an area ripe for exploration, and habitation.
Impact Day was a cataclysmic event at the end of the Second Corpo War. The remnants of the corpo space colonist flung an irradiated meteor from orbit at the People's Capital, a thriving megapolis founded by the Territorial Democratic Alliance (TDA) to commemorate their victory over the corpo alliance.
This petty act of spite doomed the corpo colonists as it consumed the last of their resources, resulted in the loss of millions of lives on the planet, and wiped the TDA off of the map. This flung the world back into chaos, and in time allowed the corpos to regain control of their arcos, and eventually the wastelands.
Caldera was on the edge of the impact crater, large swathes of the region were destroyed, irradiated, or buried under ash and flame.
In the present day, the dust has settled to reveal Caldera and the resources that have been buried for so many years. Multiple factions including corpos, wasters, raiders, and cults, have come to claim a stake in the territory, some are looking to rebuild, others to claim the rich resources of the region, others simply to exert control over the power vacuum.
You play as a fledgling group of salvagers, having built your first Union Crawler, and claimed your Salvage Charter, you are heading into Caldera to support your growing community in this scrap ripe region, as you explore and uncover its buried secrets, making friends and foes along the way.
