Episode 13: Decline in the Core – Cantinas and Corruption

In this episode of Signals from the Core, we open with a review of Core Adventure 2: Last Call at Eneri's Cantina by Christopher Griffen for Mongoose Traveller 2nd Edition, where saving a starport bar on the Sylean Main means getting dragged into an authoritarian power grab dressed up as public safety.

From there we chart the Chant subsector and a rejuvenation project as compromised as the region it's supposed to be fixing.

Then, a System Spotlight on Tell, a waterworld of barely ninety thousand people carrying the technological weight of Chant's whole recovery, where four rival corporations run TL15 laboratories next door to each other and treat industrial espionage as table stakes.

Plus, our Patron Profile of Aelric Durellian, trillionaire tech oligarch founder of Aeternus, a man convinced the Imperium is holding Humaniti back, and who may or may not still be entirely human himself.
