PUBLISHER The PCs are dispatched to deliver supplies and support to a colony in the Vast long forgotten by
Erik Mona the Pact Worlds, whose citizens are expected to be in dire need or already dead. Upon arrival,
the PCs discover the colony to be prosperous, self-sufficient, and secure, rendering their aid is
unnecessary. The PCs explore the colony, likely discovering incongruences in the citizens’ accounts
and signs of an outside organization’s influence. When a dangerous animal attacks a citizen during
a community feast, the PCs enter the wilds to put a stop to the animal attacks—perhaps discovering
the animal is a mining robot in disguise, under the control of the mayor’s personal aide.

 FINDING THE FORGOTTEN
BY KATE BAKER AND DENNIS MULDOON
ADVENTURE
BACKGROUND
Immediately prior to his election as First Seeker, Ehu Hadif
discovered the existence of numerous Pact World-sponsored
colonies that had gone missing and were never acknowledged
by the Pact Council. Suspecting a cover up, Ehu petitioned
the Starfinder Society’s governing Forum for permission to
investigate, and his request was approved. Many of these missing
colonies were tied to Historia-Prime, the villainous architect of
the devastating Data Scourge digital attacks. One unaffiliated
settlement is Braerton on Kortus IV.
Braerton was founded 90 years ago by colonists from the Pact
Worlds and led by Berrla Tonhue, a government surveyor. As a
sponsored colony, Braerton was promised regular support, supplies,
and protection from the Pact Worlds. In exchange, Braerton would
provide a share of any valuable resources discovered to the Pact
Worlds and expand the reach of the Pact Worlds into the Vast.
Within a few years of the colony’s founding, a vast deposit of
a rare but worthless starmetal called finitrium was discovered
on Kortus IV. Shortly thereafter, a mysterious organization with
distant ties to the Starfinder Society erased this colony from
the Pact Council’s records, killed Berrla, and annexed Braerton,
installing a sizable force within the colony’s government and
citizenry and establishing a finitrium mine. Those who spoke out
against the Organization or attempted to leave were severely
punished. By the time the second generation of citizens was born,
the Organization had effectively rewritten Braerton’s history, and
today, most younger citizens consider joining the Organization
akin to joining a major corporation or their government’s military.
Braerton is reliant upon the Organization for supplies, trade,
protection, and construction materials, which they receive in
exchange for finitrium ore. This trade has earned the Organization
the nickname “Mongers” among citizens—a name the Organization
has embraced for the anonymity it provides. Communications
with outsiders are controlled and tightly monitored by the
Organization, and citizens are prohibited from mentioning the
presence of the Organization to outsiders.
Braerton has an elected mayor who sees to the settlement’s
operations but is little more than a figurehead. True power rests
with the mayor’s aide, a position always filled by an Organization
member born offworld, who governs Braerton and ensures that
the Organization’s interests are put first. Only Organization
employees are allowed to leave Braerton, which has resulted
in a high percentage of the population becoming, or having
family who already are, low ranking Mongers. This intertwined
population makes it incredibly difficult for the few unaffiliated
citizens of Braerton to organize any kind of rebellion or flee.
Starfinder Society Scenario 5-13

Where in the Universe?
This adventure takes place in Braerton, the only settlement
on the planet Kortus IV. Braerton was founded by colonists
from the Pact Worlds 90 years ago. Within a few years,
communications with the colony ceased and all record
of the its existence was lost. Unknown to the outside
world, Braerton was conquered by a mysterious criminal
organization locals dubbed the Mongers.
KORTUS IV
Forgotten Colony Controlled by Mysterious Organization
Diameter: ×1.3; Mass: ×1; Gravity: ×1
Atmosphere: Normal; Day: 25 hours; Year: 1.2 years
A world of towering ancient forests, vast lakes, and diverse
flora and fauna, Kortus IV is the fourth of six planets in the
single-sun Kortus system. Before the founding of the colony
of Braerton, the Kortus system contained no sapient life.
Kortus IV has two moons and a remarkable concentration
of the starmetal finitrium.
Back in the Pact Worlds, the First Seeker, out of concern for
Braerton’s lost colonists, intends to dispatch a team of Starfinders
to investigate and deliver some much-needed supplies to any
survivors. These Starfinders are destined to disrupt life in Braerton,
causing citizens to hide the presence of the Mongers, while the
mayor and mayor’s aide to plot to get rid of the new arrivals.
GETTING STARTED
The PCs meet with First Seeker Ehu Hadif (LG male kasatha
solarian) and Fitch (CN female ysoki technomancer; art on page
26), leader of the Wayfinders faction, in a private conference
room in the Lorespire Complex. Read or paraphrase the following
to get the adventure underway.
“Great, you’re here on time!” Fitch remarks. “I hope you packed
well. You’re heading out to the Vast for a while.”
Ehu Hadif pulls up a holographic display of a single-sun solar
system, zooming in on a green and blue planet. “Thank you
for coming. I’m sure some of you know that one of my initial
priorities as First Seeker was to investigate several Pact World-
sponsored colonies that seemingly disappeared from everyone’s
records. Most of these colonies, of course, were connected to
Historia-Prime.” Ehu shares a meaningful look with Fitch, then
continues. “Kortus IV was not.”
 Finding the Forgotten
“The Pact Worlds sent a colony ship to Kortus IV
approximately 90 years ago. The timeline is shaky, but within a
few years of its founding all records of the colony were erased.
It’s as though someone was trying to hide its existence. As
far as we know, there’s been no communication between the
Kortus colony and the Pact Worlds since. We have no idea
what happened to these settlers or if any remain in the area.
Travel to Kortus IV, determine the fate of the colony and its
inhabitants, and locate any survivors. If the colony still exists,
find out if they need any assistance from the Starfinder Society
or from the Pact Worlds. We’ll send you with food, medicine,
and construction supplies to provide them.”
Fitch cuts in, looking serious. “You need to be on high
alert for this mission. Things went bad the last time I led
an expedition to a lost colony. Real bad. A lot of good
people died. We have no reason to expect danger on
Kortus IV, but we didn’t before, either. Watch out for
each other. If anything feels off or you find yourselves
outnumbered, come back and report in. I’ve also
got a few gifts to help you out.”
Fitch gives the PCs three incendiary
grenades III, a d-suit III (kasatha microcord
IV for levels 9–10), and an advanced arc
emitter (aurora arc rifle for levels 9–10).
The PCs might have questions for
Ehu and Fitch. Some likely questions
and their answers are noted below.
Isn’t it possible that everyone
died a long time ago? “That’s certainly a
possibility.” Ehu admits. “But it’s also possible
there are people there who need help.”
What happened on the last mission to a
lost colony? Fitch frowns. “It was an ambush.
Historia-Prime used the colony’s disappearance
as a lure and the colony as a trap. Many
Starfinders died and more were captured. I don’t
want to lose any more of our people that way. Keep
your eyes open and trust your instincts. Don’t do
anything rash.”
If the records were erased, how do we know about
this colony? Ehu explains, “I found evidence of a
mission Starfinder Society agents conducted to the
library planet of Athaeum. However, there were no
further details regarding this mission in our database,
nor of what they were researching. Prior to my election
as First Seeker, I dispatched a team to Athaeum to
view the same documents as that first team. These
agents uncovered information on
numerous missing colonies in the Vast,
all sponsored by the Pact Worlds and Ehu Hadif
then erased from history. Eventually,
Starfinder Society Scenario 5-13
4
we concluded the colonies were tied to Historia-Prime. However,
upon Historia-Prime’s death, his holdings passed into the
possession of the Starfinder Society. We’re still sifting through his
files, but we’ve determined that Kortus IV wasn’t affiliated with
Historia-Prime and the other colonies. This is something different.”
When the PCs are done asking questions, Ehu dismisses
them, with directions to select a starship of their choice from
the hangar bay for their use during this mission (likely an Azata,
Drake, or Pegasus). The PCs can purchase gear and supplies
before leaving, if desired.
CULTURE (RECALL KNOWLEDGE)
OR DIPLOMACY (GATHER
INFORMATION)
Based on the result of a Culture check to recall knowledge or
a Diplomacy check to gather information, the PCs might
know more about Athaeum or how Ehu learned about
these lost colonies. They learn all of the information
whose DC is equal to or less than the result
of their check. PCs who played Starfinder
Society Scenario #2-07: Four for the First
automatically know the information listed
in the 10+ and 15+ entries. PCs who played
Starfinder Society Scenario #3-22: The Vast
Experiment: Dancing at the Edge automatically
know the information listed in the 25+ entry.
15+: Starfinders dispatched by Ehu Hadif
uncovered records on the lost colonies while
on the library world of Athaeum. Following up on these
colonies was part of Ehu’s platform for his election to
First Seeker.
20+: The library world of Athaeum contains only very
rare information: everything there is the only copy in
existence. For the records of these lost colonies to exist
there, all traces elsewhere must have been erased.
25+: The lost colonies were connected to the
Historia-Prime, a Starfinder who committed
countless crimes in their quest for immortality and
control of the Starfinder Society. Historia-Prime
used the colonies as a trap, which resulted in the
death of numerous Starfinders. Historia-Prime
was destroyed by the Starfinders at the
culmination of the Data Scourge.
A. KORTUS IV
The journey to Kortus IV takes 5d6 days.
The organization that controls Kortus
IV maintains an automated defense
system to protect the planet and
give ground forces early warning of
incoming intruders. The Organization
doesn’t usually leave starships in
 Finding the Forgotten
Braerton longer than necessary to transfer goods and personnel,
so the automated defenses are the primary method of fighting off
pirates, smugglers, and rivals of the Organization.
When the PCs arrive in orbit around Kortus IV, the planet’s
automated defenses spring into action! A launch pad deploys
two drones and primes its turrets. Concurrently, it transmits a
message in Common, then in several other languages.
“No trespassing permitted on Kortus IV. Transmit access code
or depart immediately. Trespassers will be treated as hostile.”
Starship Combat: As the PCs don’t have the appropriate access
code, they’re attacked by the launch pad and drones. Use the
map on page 6 for this encounter. The launch pad begins near the
top portion of the map, flanked by the drones. The enemies begin
facing the PCs, who approach from 3d6+5 hexes away.

Development: Shortly after the PCs defeat the
automated defenses, they receive a communication
from the planet, specifically from Zatteh (NE female
kasatha), the mayor’s aide. Zatteh is the highest
ranking member of the Organization on Kortus IV
(though she certainly doesn’t introduce
herself or reveal this information
to the PCs). “Kortus IV to unknown
starship. Identify yourselves. What
are you doing here?”
If the automated defenses would defeat the PCs, the drones
power down immediately before delivering the final blast as
Zatteh takes over using a manual override. She then sends the
communication noted above.
In either instance, Zatteh has identified the PCs’ starship as
belonging to the Starfinder Society and knows that destroying it
will likely result in the Society launching a follow-up investigation. check (DC 26 for levels 9–10) recognizes that it’s very odd for
Thus, the surest way to get rid of the Starfinders permanently is
to invite these Starfinders to land and hurry them on their way.
Starfinder Society Scenario 5-13
DRIFT CRISIS
This scenario was released during the Drift Crisis, a
galaxy-spanning catastrophe during which the Drift
was dangerously unstable. If you would like to set this
scenario during the Drift Crisis, change the PCs’ mode of
arrival. Rather than travel to Kortus IV on a Starfinder
ship outfitted with a Drift engine, the Starfinder Society
negotiates passage with the witchwyrds of the Tetrad,
who are grateful for the Society’s aid in dealing with the
excommunicated swindler Szelanius several years prior
(Starfinder Society Scenario #3-05: The Hivemarket Heist).
Tetrad starships are equipped with proprietary (and
jealously guarded) hybrid interstellar engines called planar
aperture drives (Starfinder Starship Operations Manual 11),
which open temporary portals to other planes and distant
destinations. A Tetrad carrier transports the PCs’ starship
to Kortus IV in its hangar bay, then departs to examine the
rest of the system for commercial opportunities. The carrier
returns two days later to pick the PCs’ up for the return trip
to Absalom Station. For more information on the Drift Crisis
and Tetrad see pages 14–23 and 37 of Starfinder Drift Crisis.
When the PCs explain who they are and what their
mission is, they receive landing coordinates and an apology for
the automated attack. If the PCs lost this starship combat, it
takes the PCs longer to safely land, giving the Organization
and citizens of Braerton more time to prepare for the PCs’
arrival. This increases the DC of all Sense Motive checks
the PCs attempt in Braerton by 1.
BRAERTON
The PCs can follow the coordinates to Braerton, a small
settlement nestled amid a forest of towering trees
with an obvious landing pad on its southern edge.
The landing pad is currently empty, save for a few
forklifts and some crates at the north end.
If a science officer scans the town, they
automatically determine that it
has a population of around 2,500
Aliorno people, and that the surrounding
forest bears many signs of animal
and plant life, signaling a healthy
and diverse ecosystem. If they succeed at a DC 23 Computers
check to scan (DC 26 for levels 9–10), they additionally
identify a mine to the north of the town, farmlands to the
east of town, and that Kortus IV has no infosphere or active
broadcast signals.
A PC who succeeds at a DC 23 Culture or Engineering
a settlement of this small size to have an automated defense
system like the one the PCs just encountered.

 Finding the Forgotten
When the PCs disembark, they’re greeted by Mayor Aliorno
(LN male damaya lashunta) and Zatteh. The duo attempts to
get as much information as they can from the PCs about their
mission on Kortus IV. Their eventual goal is to get the PCs to
leave without noticing that anything is amiss, but they know
that they can’t act too suspicious up front. Zatteh has already
alerted Braerton’s citizens that outsiders have arrived. Read or
paraphrase the following aloud.
A lashunta with a big smile clears his throat. “Starfinders!
Welcome to Braerton! It’s been a long time since we’ve had any
contact with the Pact Worlds, and we’re overjoyed to have you
here! I’m Mayor Aliorno, and this is my aide, Zatteh.” Behind him,
a somber kasatha inclines her head in greeting. “Please, tell us
more about your mission here, and we’ll tell you about our town.”
A PC who succeeds at a DC 25 Sense Motive check (DC 29
for levels 9–10) realizes Mayor Aliorno doesn’t seem genuinely
pleased to see the Starfinders. If the PCs confront Mayor Aliorno
about this he shakes his head, noting the PCs “lack tact for a
diplomatic delegation,” and proceeds to ignore their comment.
After the PCs explain their mission to aid the colony, Mayor
Aliorno chuckles. Read or paraphrase the following aloud.
“Oh, you won’t have much to do, I’m afraid. We’ve been entirely
self-sufficient for ages. Still, you might as well look around
before you leave. We’re proud of what we’ve built here. It’ll give
folks a chance to show off! Come, Zatteh and I will escort you to
Founder’s Square. We can speak on the way.”
Mayor Aliorno leads the way north from the landing pad to
Founder’s Square at the town’s center. Braerton’s streets are lined
with restaurants, shops, public buildings, and modest homes,
constructed primarily from wood and brick. While there are
vehicles present, it’s clear most people walk or cycle in Braerton.
Founder’s Square is a small park centered on a lacquered statue
of a human woman with one arm outstretched. The streets
surrounding the park host several important buildings, including
the town hall.
On the walk, many citizens crowd in to see the new arrivals,
giving a surprised wave or smile. Mayor Aliorno and Zatteh
answer any questions the PCs ask, citing propaganda or lying as
needed to prevent the PCs from learning about the Organization’s
presence and the finitrium. Some likely questions and their
answers are noted below.
Are you in contact with the Pact Worlds? Mayor Aliorno
shakes his head. “No. Shortly after Braerton’s founding, the Pact
Worlds stopped sending supplies and cut us off completely. They
wouldn’t answer our hails. We sent one of our only starships
back to the Pact Worlds with a delegation, thinking it must be
a mistake, but those messengers never returned. We never did
figure out why the Pact Worlds abandoned us, but frankly, we
Starfinder Society Scenario 5-13
7
don’t care. We’ve built a home to be proud of all on our own.
We’re not looking to make alliances with outsiders. We know the
dangers of dependence too well.”
We’ve brought supplies for you. “How thoughtful! We don’t
need much, but we’ll happily accept your gifts. Such offerings
don’t need to be a regular occurrence, however.” Mayor Aliorno
glances at Zatteh, who adds, “Let’s see… You can bring food to
the general store, medicine to the hospital, and tools and other
materials to the construction site down the road. Anything else
you can bring to the town hall at Founder’s Square. I’ll see its sent
where its most needed.”
Is Braerton in danger? Mayor Aliorno shakes his head. “Not
notably. Kortus IV has aggressive wildlife and seasonal storms,
but we adapted long ago. As for off planet threats, our automated
defense system does the trick.”
How did you build that automated defense system? Mayor
Aliorno smiles. “Oh, I can’t take credit for that—smarter minds
than I saw to its construction! After we were abandoned by the
Pact Worlds, our citizens thought it was important to protect
Kortus IV from threats like space pirates. I believe the materials
for it came from the original colony ship. It’s come in handy on a
few occasions.”
Do you have any contact with other planets? “Not really.
Occasionally a smuggler stops by looking for a place to lay low, or
independent traders or explorers happen along. Some even stay.
But we’re pretty much on our own. Like I said, we’re self-sufficient.”
Why do you maintain a landing pad if no one visits? “It would
be short-sighted to allow it to fall into disrepair.”
What do you mine? “Nothing special. A variety of metal ores
we use for construction, fabrication, and electronics. We mine
just enough to use.”
Who is that statue of? What happened to her? “That was
Berrla Tonhue, the settlement’s founder. She led the expedition
here from the Pact Worlds. She died fending off an animal attack
about twenty years after the founding of the settlement. Some
vicious local creatures we call rock bears.”
Are animal attacks common? “They used to be. The animals
on this planet are aggressive, especially the rock bears. They’ve
learned to steer clear of the settlement, but it’s still dangerous for
anyone who goes out into the wilderness to hunt.”
Why is there a kasatha here? (Braerton was founded and
forgotten several years before the Idari’s arrival in the Pact
Worlds). Zatteh tilts her head at the blunt question. “My parents
were wanderers. As soon as they could afford a Drift engine, they
left the Pact Worlds. They passed away quite some time ago, but
not before making us a home here. I was born in Braerton.”
When the PCs are done asking questions, Mayor Aliorno and
Zatteh encourage the PCs to explore Braerton and meet the
residents. He gives them permission to explore any public spaces
but warns them not to enter people’s homes, private property,
or the wilderness outside of town. At that, the pair excuse
themselves and head to the town hall.
 Finding the Forgotten
KEY CITIZENS
As the PCs explore Braerton, they’ll interact with numerous
citizens. Notable citizens are summarized below. Braerton’s
citizens know not to reveal anything about the Mongers
or finitrium to outsiders. The punishment for breaking this
prohibition is severe, so all citizens stick to their lies even if called
out by the PCs.
Mongers
The following NPCs are members of the organization known
locally as the Mongers.
Jana Rin (LN nonbinary human): Jana is Braerton’s sheriff. They
were born in Braerton and became a Monger to have a brighter
future. They believe they’ll get an assignment offworld after
serving a few terms as sheriff.
Redozoko (LE male vesk): Redozoko is a high-ranking
Monger who presents himself as a hunter. In truth, he
oversees the finitrium mine, its employees, and hunts
down any citizens attempting to flee Braerton through
the wilds. Redozoko was born in the Veskarium but
claims to be the descendent of a founding colonist
who betrayed the Veskarium to the Pact Worlds in
exchange for a spot on the Kortus IV colony.
Zatteh (NE female kasatha): Zatteh is the highest-
ranking Monger in Braerton and serves as the mayor’s
aide. She’s ruled Braerton and Kortus IV for 15 years.
Zatteh was born off world but claims to be a second-
generation citizen of Braerton.
Citizens
Although the following NPCs are
not members of the Mongers, they
cooperate with the organization to Zatteh
some extent.
Mayor Aliorno (N male damaya
lashunta): As mayor, Aliorno is a representative elected by the
citizens of Braerton to govern. In truth, he’s second in command,
and subservient to Zatteh, his “aide” and a powerful Monger.
Aliorno knows his life depends upon keeping the Mongers happy
and works closely with them in his role as mayor.
Dunchell Munthus (LN male half-elf): Dunchell runs the
general store. Most local farmers and artisans trade their goods to wood with many layers of lacquer to protect it from the elements.
Dunchell for store credit. Dunchell relies on the Mongers to supply A small plaque beneath it reads “Berrla Tonhue, Braerton
him with any goods in his store that aren’t produced locally.
Ellemie-2 (NG female android): Ellemie-2 is head doctor at
Braerton’s hospital. She depends on the Mongers for medicine
and supplies.
Nikeela Phuvo (LN agender human): Nikeela is a priest of
Abadar who runs Braerton’s large, multidenominational church.
They’re not a Monger, but they don’t object to the presence of the have since spread the story that Berrla died saving the town
Mongers and appreciate the commerce and stability they bring
to Braerton.
Starfinder Society Scenario 5-13
Reela (CG female korasha lashunta): Reela is an architect
currently working at the community center’s build site. She’s a
bubbly, warm member of the community who is worse than most
at keeping secrets. She dislikes the Mongers and wishes she could
leave Braerton.
Roget (CN male ysoki): Roget is a short-tempered and surly
farmer who refuses to use anything provided by Mongers or
otherwise imported. He resents the Mongers and is an outcast in
town—everyone gossips about him, but few people interact with
him. If the PCs ask around about Roget, anyone in town can tell
them that Roget hasn’t been the same since his daughter, Ongie,
was killed by rock bears while out hunting a few years ago. In
truth, Ongie escaped Kortus IV by stowing away
on an Organization supply ship and escaping
when it reached a port. Within Braerton, only
Zatteh, Redozoko, and Roget know the truth—
Zatteh and Redozoko faked Ongie’s death and have
kept Roget alive to use as leverage against Ongie.
EXPLORATION
The PCs begin at Founder’s Square and can explore
Braerton at their leisure. The town is bustling with
activity and while many citizens come to gawk at the PCs,
few stop to chat for long. The town’s citizenry are primarily
androids, humans, lashuntas, and ysoki, though halflings
and half-elves are also present in large numbers.
After the PCs investigate two sites, Redozoko
returns to town in Event 1.
After the PCs investigate each site once,
or decide they’re done their exploration,
Zatteh approaches them with an
invitation in Event 2.
Founder’s Square
Founder’s Square is a small public
park centered on a lacquered statue of Berrla Tonhue. The streets
surrounding the park host several important buildings, including
the church, general store, hospital, and town hall. Audible in the
distance to the west of Founder’s Square is a construction site.
The PCs can examine the statue of Berrla Tonhue, the town’s
founder and a surveyor by occupation. The statue is made from
founder and hero,” along with the dates of her birth and death
(192 AG–255 AG). A PC who succeeds at a DC 23 Perception
check (DC 26 for levels 9–10) notices that the date of death on
the plaque was changed from 235 AG to 255 AG after the statue
was made. Unknown to most of Braerton’s citizens, the Mongers
killed Berrla when they took control of Braerton in 235 AG but
from an animal attack later in the town’s history. This is what the
current residents believe and is what’s reflected on the plaque.

 Finding the Forgotten
Braerton Sanctuary
Braerton Sanctuary is the local church, which caters to numerous
religions. The Sanctuary is pristine, with rows of wooden pews in
the main worship space, facing a raised stage with a few dozen
different religious symbols and statues, and two smaller side
rooms for gatherings.
The church is managed by Nikeela Phuvo (LN agender human),
a priest of Abadar who greets the PCs warmly when they enter.
Nikeela offers to perform any religious services that the PCs
need in the name of any deity (for a reasonable fee). They use the
religious symbols in the worship hall for this purpose.
A PC who succeeds at a DC 23 Culture or Mysticism check
(DC 26 for levels 9–10) notices a holy symbol of Talavet in
the church’s collection. As kasathas hadn’t arrived in the Pact
Worlds on the Idari when Braerton was founded, it’s unlikely
that there would’ve been any followers of Talavet present
among the colonists. If asked about the holy symbol of Talavet,
Nikeela explains that the holy symbol predates their tenure over
the church ten years ago, so they haven’t done anything
about it. However, they offer the exquisitely detailed
holy symbol to the PCs for a modest fee of 5 credits. “I
never get any followers of Talavet here who want
services, so I’m spending more on storage and
upkeep than I can recover in fees. You’d be taking
a liability off my hands.”
The holy symbol is also a sonic
dampener. It bears the inscription “Good
luck with your new job, Paoro” and is dated
thirty years ago (292 AG). The original
(and not particularly devout) owner of the
dampener was an Organization agent
who worked security in Braerton for
10 years before being transferred to a Roget
post offworld. Paoro sold the seal to
the church before departing.
General Store
Braerton’s general store is managed by Dunchull Munthus (LN
male half-elf). The shop is filled with locally grown foodstuffs
and homemade goods: clothing, tools, furniture, and a variety of
knickknacks. There are a few electronics in a locked case behind
the counter which look like they’ve been repaired a few times.
If the PCs offer Dunchell the crates of food from the Starfinder years ago. If asked, Ellemie-2 claims that the name must be a
Society, he’s eager to accept them, and asks the PCs to place the
crates in the back of the store. While in the back room, a PC
who succeeds at a DC 23 Perception check (DC 26 for levels
9–10) notices a handwritten ledger labeled “supply drops” with a
series of dates listed. There are no details on what these supply
drops contain. If asked about the list, Dunchell says that that’s
when local farmers deliver goods to him. A PC who succeeds
at a DC 26 Sense Motive check (DC 30 for levels 9–10) realizes
Dunchell is lying.
Starfinder Society Scenario 5-13

After the PCs drop off the supplies, Dunchell offers them a
gift in return. If the PCs are asking too many prying questions,
he uses this as an abrupt subject change. “We don’t have much
use for weapons around here, but this is sure a beautiful bit
of carving done by my father. Perhaps one of you can use it.”
He offers a lovely wooden club carved with decorations on
the handle. This club functions as a medium sap (Starfinder
Armory 53). For levels 9–10, it instead functions as a heavy
sap (Armory 53).
As the PCs explore the general store, Roget (CN male ysoki)
walks in with several bags of grain, which he trades to Dunchell
for store credit. If the PCs found the supply drop ledger, they
know that there’s no supply drop scheduled for today. When
Roget notices the PCs, his eyes widen with surprise, then he
storms off in a huff. If the PCs attempt to talk to Roget, he
ignores them completely and refuses to speak. If the PCs ask
Dunchell or another citizen about Roget, they learn that Roget
is a local farmer who has been extremely anti-social since his
daughter Ongie was killed by rock bears while
out hunting.
Hospital
Braerton’s hospital is small and outdated but
well-maintained. When the PCs arrive, a few
citizens await treatment for minor wounds and
illness. If the PCs offer to heal these citizens,
they decline, stating that they’d prefer to
see their usual doctor.
After a short wait, a nurse escorts the PCs
to the office of the hospital’s head doctor, Ellemie-2
(NG female android). Ellemie is friendly
but curt, and clearly has much on
her mind. She gratefully accepts any
medicine and supplies the PCs donate
to the hospital.
A PC who succeeds at a DC 21
Perception check (DC 24 Perception for levels 9–10) determines
that the hospital is well supplied. Additionally, they notice that
all the medicine in Ellemie-2’s office is stored in glass vials with
cork stoppers and hand-written labels. A PC who succeeds at
a DC 23 Medicine check (DC 26 for levels 9–10) notices a vial
marked “zotizole,” a modern antibiotic first synthesized twenty
coincidence, as it’s something she developed herself, along with
many of the other medicines here. A PC who succeeds at a DC
28 Sense Motive check (DC 32 for levels 9–10) realizes Ellemie-2
is lying.
Whether or not the PCs notice something amiss in Ellemie-2’s
collection, she offers them some samples of medicines that she
created herself from local materials. These function as a tier 3
sedative and two mk 3 serums of healing (four mk 3 serums of
healing for levels 9–10).
 Finding the Forgotten
Town Hall
Braerton’s town hall features a grand entry with detailed
decorative tiling, a large hall lined with simple chairs for
community meetings, the town archives, and the offices of Mayor
Aliorno, Zatteh, and Sheriff Jana Rin (LN nonbinary human).
Sheriff Rin greets the PCs the first time they enter the town
hall, notes that they’d heard Braerton had visitors, and asks them
to behave themselves. If the PCs visit the town hall a second
time, the town hall is empty, and all three offices are locked. The
doors have hardness 5, 15 Hit Points, and Break DC 18. The locks
can be picked by a PC that succeeds at a DC 18 Engineering check
(DC 20 for levels 9–10). If the PCs break the doors, Sheriff Rin
scolds them for trespassing during Event 3, noting that if they
break any further laws, they’ll be escorted off planet and won’t
be welcome back on Kortus IV.
Mayor’s Office: Mayor Aliorno’s office is messy, with boxes
piled in the corners and a desk covered in paperwork. A PC
that examines the paperwork finds it regards logistics and town
supplies—dry but unsurprising work for a mayor of a colony. A
PC who sifts through the boxes finds an old spacesuit dating
back to the colony’s founding. A PC that succeeds at a DC 22
Perception check or Physical Science check (DC 24 for levels
9–10) determines the suit was used recently. If asked, Mayor
Aliorno claims the suit is used by the engineers they send up
to perform maintenance on the automated defense system and
hasn’t been used in ages. A PC that succeeds at a DC 25 Sense
Motive check (DC 29 for levels 9–10) recognizes that this is a lie.
In truth, this suit is contraband that Mayor Aliorno confiscated
from his cousin—he hasn’t informed Zatteh or the sheriff yet, as it
would result in severe punishment for all involved.
Sheriff’s Office: Jana’s office is clean and orderly, with a desk
and locked filing cabinets. There are three small holding cells in
the back. If asked, Jana admits the holding cells are rarely used—
occasionally they lock up a couple of people for brawling, but
they’re generally released the next day once their tempers cool. A
PC who succeeds at a DC 27 Sense Motive check (DC 31 for levels
9–10) determines that Jana is lying.
A PC who examines the cells and succeeds at a DC 22
Perception notices they’re worn and see frequent use. A PC who
examines the office and succeeds at a DC 24 Perception check
notices the outline of a secret hatch in the floor behind the desk
but no sign of how to open it.
The filing cabinets contain arrest reports. A PC who sifts
through these determines that there have been very few arrests
throughout the town’s history and that they’re all for petty
crimes. A PC that succeeds at a DC 20 Culture or Perception
check knows that most towns of a comparable size average more
frequent crime than Braerton does.
The drawers in Sheriff Rin’s desk are filled with stationary
and other office supplies. Inside the bottom drawer is a secured
touchpad, keyed to scan Sheriff Rin’s palm. If a PC places their
hand on the touchpad, it blinks red. If the touchpad blinks red
Starfinder Society Scenario 5-13

three times within 1 hour, it self-destructs, short-circuiting
with a pop and a puff of smoke. A PC who succeeds at a DC 23
Computers check to hack system or Engineering check to disable
device bypasses the safety features on the touchpad, causing it
to flash green and the secret hatch in the floor to open.
The secret hatch conceals a large underground armory. Inside
are modern weapons, armor, and ammunition—all of far lower
quality than the PCs possess. None of these weapons have a
maker’s mark or corporate logo, indicating that they were possibly
constructed locally. A PC who succeeds at a DC 23 Perception
check (DC 26 for levels 9–10) finds a dark blue rhomboid aeon
stone and a rime subduer (Armory 35) among them.
Zatteh’s Office: Zatteh’s office is clean and organized, with a
fine wooden desk and cozy office chair. The back wall is lined
with a communication console modified from a starship system.
The communication console is in standby mode, making it
easy to access. A PC who succeeds at a DC 21 Computers check
(DC 23 for levels 9–10) determines that this console controls
the automated defense system, indicating that it was Zatteh
who contacted the PCs and provided them landing coordinates.
Additionally, they discover that there are a hundred landing
platforms surrounding Kortus IV, each bypassed by an access
code. The current access code is kL283Gx. A PC that surpassed
the Computers check by 5 or more additionally determines that
the access code automatically changes on a monthly basis—a very
strange security feature for a town that rarely uses the system.
That PC can attempt a DC 24 Computers check (DC 27 for levels
9–10) to download the program that creates the passwords to a
personal comm unit, datapad, or computer, which could enable
the PCs or other Starfinder agents to attempt to hack their way
past the planet’s automated defense system on a future visit.
A PC that succeeds at a DC 23 Perception check (DC 26
for levels 9–10) while examining Zatteh’s desk determines it
has a false-top. When this top is depressed, it pops up and
back, revealing a state-of-the-art computer with a holographic
interface. Zatteh’s computer is password protected, requiring a
PC to succeed at a DC 28 Computers check to hack system (DC
32 for levels 9–10) to gain access.
On a failure, the computer sends notification of the intrusion to
Zatteh, then loads a fake shell populated with false files pertaining
to running Braerton. A PC who succeeds at a second DC 28
Computers check (DC 32 for levels 9–10) identifies this as a fake
shell but can’t gain access to the true system. Zatteh arrives within
a few minutes, scolds any PCs present for their intrusion and
demands they leave her office immediately, lest she hail the sheriff.
On a success, the PCs gain access to the system and can sift
through Zatteh’s files, discovering four records of note.
• A database of “employees” that includes over 1,500 people.
Most of these employees are tagged as “local.” The employer
isn’t specified. If the PCs search through this list for specific
citizens, they discover Zatteh, Redozoko, and Jana Rin on
the list, with Jana flagged as local.
 Finding the Forgotten
• A database containing detailed information on 1,000
people, none of whom are on the employee list. It appears
these people are under surveillance or scrutiny. The largest
surveillance file is on Roget, who’s flagged as “high risk.”
• A criminal database containing thousands of police reports. All
recent reports are filed by Sheriff Rin and involve citizens of
Braerton. Many of the crimes sound petty, including shirking
and slander. If the PCs have inspected Sheriff Rin’s office,
they recognize that this database contains way more criminal
reports than Rin’s. If the PCs think to look up Roget’s daughter
Ongie, they discover she had an extensive criminal record
including vandalism, rebelliousness, assault, instigation, and
sedition. The final entry in her file reads “escaped offworld;
recapture high priority, location unknown.”
• A shipment ledger, indicating that Braerton has been
importing and exporting goods for over 80 years. Details on
the contents, source, and destination of these shipments is
not included.
Town Archives: The archives contain Brearton’s
physical records, including birth, death, and marriage
certificates, harvest and property records, and
population counts. The records are handwritten,
stored in filing cabinets, and poorly sorted, with
no index. Records about important Mongers are
not kept in the archives.
While a great deal of information is here,
it would be impossible for the PCs to search
it exhaustively. The PCs can find information
on specific topics if they succeed at a DC 22
Culture check (DC 25 for levels 9–10) or a DC
18 Profession (Archivist or Librarian) check (DC
21 for levels 9–10). The PCs must select
their topic in advance and a new check
is needed for each topic. Searching the
Reela
archives in this way takes 1 hour, or 30
minutes if the PCs all work together.
Some useful topics are noted below.
• Berrla Tonhue: The PCs find a death certificate for Berrla
Tonhue with a date 20 years prior to what is listed on the
statue’s plaque. The cause of death is listed as gunshot
wounds, not an animal attack.
• Colony Manifest: Nearly all original colonists have passed
away in the near century since Braerton was founded, but
the PCs note that there were no kasathas or vesk listed as
passengers on the original colony ship.
• Mine: The PCs find numerous records indicating the mine’s
output, though no notes on what materials are being mined.
The amount mined is much more than the town would need
and would require extensive mines, labor, and infrastructure
to obtain. These records are clearly incomplete, but it looks
like the mine was opened a few years after the colony was
founded and remains in operation today.
Starfinder Society Scenario 5-13
11
• Ongie: Ongie’s death certificate is dated 2 years ago. The
attached report notes that no body was found, and she was
presumed to be killed and eaten by rock bears during a
hunting trip.
• Paoro: The PCs would only know to look for this name if
they acquired the holy symbol of Talavet in Braerton’s
Sanctuary. There is a single piece of paper under this name
with a date from thirty years ago labeled “arrived” and
another dated ten years later labeled “reassigned.”
Construction Site
The city’s west sector is a residential area with a few parks and
a large construction site. A team of construction workers under
the guidance of Reela (CG female korasha lashunta), a talented
architect, are building a large community center and sports
multiplex. Reela is eager to speak with the PCs
and wants to hear all about the places they’ve
been and the sights they’ve seen.
After hearing the PCs speak, she sighs and
laments that she’ll never be able to leave the
planet. If the PCs offer to bring her along, she starts
stammering that she can’t just leave and quickly tries
to change the subject. A PC that succeeds at a DC 23
Sense Motive check (DC 26 for levels 9–10) notices
that Reela is hiding something. If pressed, she claims
she has family to consider—this is not a fabrication.
The Organization forbids any citizens from leaving and
Reela knows that if she left with the Starfinders, the
Mongers would severely punish any members of
her family who remained behind.
Reela is grateful for any construction
materials and tools the PCs drop
off, and thanks them profusely. She
asks them to place these supplies
off to the side, so she can perform an
inventory later.
Industrial Sector
The town’s north sector is an industrial district, containing a
number of factories and fabrication centers. A PC who succeeds
at a DC 23 Culture, Engineering, or Physical Science check
(DC 26 for levels 9–10) realizes that there are fewer factories and
fabrication centers than one would expect for a self-sufficient
town with this level of technology. Additionally, they notice that
there are no refineries, which should be required to turn raw ore
into usable metals.
Landing Pad
South of town is the landing pad where the PCs first entered
Braerton. A PC who succeeds at a DC 20 Engineering check
notices that the landing pad is in very good repair and sees
frequent use.
 Finding the Forgotten
At the north edge of the landing pad is a forklift and a few
empty wooden crates. The crates are dirty and were damaged
during the last supply drop. Each has splintered sides and
missing planks. A PC who sifts through the crates discovers a
chunk of finitrium—an unrefined green ore encased in gray rock.
A PC that examines the ore and succeeds at a DC 28
Physical Science check (DC 32 for levels 9–10) determines
that the ore is an incredibly rare (or perhaps undiscovered)
substance that’s too brittle to utilize with ease. A PC who failsThis large, underground mine is found five miles north of

within 5 feet of this mysterious ore for one minute, or within
30 feet for 1 hour, becomes dizzy, develops a painful headache, robots in view. Most of the employees congregate around the
and must attempt a DC 20 Fortitude save. On a failure, they
become sickened for as long as they remain in the vicinity of
the ore plus one hour.
A PC who succeeds at a DC 22 Perception check (DC 25 for
levels 9–10) notices that the crates have partial remnants of
a small logo on the side. This logo is black and yellow but is
otherwise too damaged to identify.
Farmlands
East of town lie sprawling farmlands,
each with their fields surrounded by
wire fences. A PC who approaches one of
these fences realizes that they’re electric
fences, likely utilized to keep dangerous
wildlife out. A PC that succeeds at a DC
22 Perception or Engineering check (DC
25 for levels 9–10) realizes that these
electric fences are hardwired, and don’t
have a visible power source or
means of control. An electric fence
deals 6d12 electricity damage to any Unidentified Symbol
living creature that touches it (DC 17
Reflex saving throw for half damage;
8d12 and DC 18 for levels 9–10).
If the PCs look for Roget, or follow him home from the
general store, Roget refuses to talk to them, other than to
cryptically mutter “Shh! They’re listening.” Even if the PCs try on the landing pad. A PC that has played Starfinder Society
to communicate with him telepathically, he won’t say anything
more. If the PCs mention Ongie, Roget gets very upset and tells same symbol discovered in that adventure.
the PCs to leave him alone to his grief. A PC who succeeds at a
DC 23 Sense Motive check (DC 26 for levels 9–10) realizes that
Roget is mulling something over and needs time to himself to
think it through.
Forest
The forest outside of Braerton is lush, with dense vegetation
and a wide variety of insects and animals. A PC that succeeds
at a DC 23 Life Science check determines that the forest is
quite peaceful, and don’t see any signs of dangerous wildlife
near the town.
Starfinder Society Scenario 5-13
A PC who succeeds at a DC 18 Perception or Survival check
(DC 20 for levels 9–10) discovers a game trail or footpath, but
nothing else of interest along the path. A PC who knows there
is a mine north of Braerton, attempts to find it, and succeeds at
a DC 25 Perception or Survival check locate the well-used road
that leads to the mine.
Mine
Braerton. Above ground, the site looks quiet, with only
administrators, armed guards, and a few battered mining
mine entrance and a central office. No miners are present, as
they’re all currently working underground. If the PCs approach
openly, they’re halted by guards and informed that the mine is
dangerous to civilians and no trespassing is permitted.
A PC who succeeds at a DC 20 Profession (Miner) check
or a DC 23 Engineering or Physical Science check (DC 23 and
DC 26 for levels 9–10) determines that this mine is massive
compared to the size of the town, and
likely employs most of Braerton’s citizens.
Additionally, they notice that there are no
refineries on site, which should be required
to turn raw ore into usable material.
A PC who spends a few minutes examining
the site from afar discovers one area of
interest that they may be able to reach
unnoticed: a loading area near the forest
edge where crates are loaded onto trucks. A
PC who succeeds at a DC 26 Stealth check
(DC 30 for levels 9–10) can approach
without being spotted by guards.
In the loading area, the PCs can
examine the crates or open up
the sealed crates to examine their
contents. The crates are made of wood and stamped with a
small black and yellow logo of a stylized “Y.” This logo hasn’t
been present elsewhere in town, save for the damaged symbol

EVENT 1: THE HUNTER
RETURNS
Redozoko (LE male vesk) approaches, dragging a large mammal
behind him. He looks surprised to see the Starfinders, but
he introduces himself and explains that he’s a local hunter.
He reiterates that the surrounding area has many dangerous
animals, and the PCs should steer clear. A PC that succeeds at a
DC 27 Sense Motive check (DC 31 for levels 9–10) realizes that
Redozoko isn’t surprised to see the Starfinders at all and was
hoping to run into them. If the PCs call him on this, Redozoko
laughs and points out that visitors are a rare and exciting
occurrence in Braerton.
A PC who succeeds at a DC 23 Culture check (DC 26
for levels 9–10) realizes that it’s strange for a vesk to be in
Braerton, as the Veskarium was at war with the Pact Worlds
when the settlement was founded. If a PC asks Redozoko
about this, he seems confused for a second, then explains,
“Ah, well, my grandparents were defectors from the
Veskarium. They traded information to the
Pact Worlds in exchange for passage on
a colony ship to basically disappear. It
sure worked! That’s all ancient history
now, though.” This is a lie, as Redozoko
is a member of the Organization assigned
here to oversee the mine, its employees,
and to hunt down any citizens attempting to flee
Braerton through the wilds. A PC that succeeds at
a DC 27 Sense Motive check (DC 31 for levels 9–10)
realizes Redozoko is lying.
After a short conversation, Redozoko bids the
PCs farewell. If the PCs attempt to trail Redozoko,
he drops the animal off at a butcher shop, and heads
to the town hall. A short while later,
he and Zatteh depart together for a
stroll, arms linked and looking rather
familiar with one another. Despite
Redozoko
this feigned display of affection, the
pair are conspiring to get rid of the
Starfinders, though they speak in code and only if they’re sure
they’re not being observed by the PCs.
EVENT 2: INVITATION
While the PCs are exploring Braerton, Zatteh, Mayor Aliorno,
and Sheriff Rin scheme over how to get the Starfinders to leave
with minimal friction and no future disruption. They know that
killing the PCs would be suspicious and lead to more Starfinders
arriving with more personnel and bigger weapons. Instead, they
plan to present the Starfinders with an opportunity to save the
town, hoping that the PCs will be satisfied with their contribution calls for the PCs to join him. When they reach the town’s edge,
and leave. To this end, the trio work with Redozoko to fabricate
a dangerous threat to the settlement for the Starfinders to fight: and torn clothing. If the PCs don’t ask, Redozoko demands to
mining robots disguised as rock bears. Due to the tight time
Starfinder Society Scenario 5-13

frame, Redozoko is unable to reprogram the robots. Instead,
they’ll need to be controlled remotely. Zatteh volunteers for this
position, believing that the PCs are most likely to suspect her
of wrongdoing and, if caught, they’ll accept her surrender and
understand her apparent motive as a corrupt politician hoping
to overthrow the mayor. If Zatteh is captured, Sheriff Rin plans
to publicly take custody of Zatteh and release her as soon as
the PCs leave.
After the PCs have finished investigating Braerton, Zatteh,
approaches them with a smile.
“Hello, Starfinders! I hope you’ve enjoyed your visit so far!
Everyone is so excited to have you here that we’ve decided to
have a little celebration in your honor this evening! There will
be lots of food, decorations, and the chance for everyone to get
to hear from you. It will be hosted in the town square in two
hours. We look forward to seeing you there.”
The town doesn’t have an inn as they don’t get
visitors, so if the PCs want to rest or refresh
themselves before the celebration begins,
they must do so on their own starship.
EVENT 3:
CELEBRATION
Two hours after the invitation is issued, the
town hosts a celebratory festival in the town
square to honor the PCs. The town square
is decorated with flowers and fabric
banners, and there are tables piled
with food. Several townspeople play
music on a makeshift bandstand, variations on
old folk tunes from the various Pact
Worlds. Many citizens dance, inviting
the PCs to join in.
During the festivities, one PC
discovers a tiny, folded piece of paper
tucked under their plate. The paper is
a note that reads “Be careful. The Mongers are always watching.”
This note is from Roget, though the PCs have no way of learning
who wrote it at present.
A PC who succeeds at a DC 26 Perception check (DC 30 for
levels 9–10) notices that Zatteh isn’t present at the celebration.
If they ask after her, Mayor Aliorno explains “She said she wasn’t
feeling well, so I sent her home to rest. She sends her regards.”
After an hour, there’s a shrill scream from the edge of town,
which causes the crowds to hush and a few brave citizens to
hurry to the source of the noise. Redozoko leads this group, and
Sheriff Rin emerges from the forest, with several large scratches

“I was getting one of my good mead barrels to share, when I
heard something in the forest. I went to check it out—I thought
someone had gotten drunk and wandered off, you know? It
was rock bears! I dropped the barrel and ran for my life.”
Redozoko looks concerned. “I don’t mind admitting when
I’m out matched. If there’s more than one of those rock bears,
that’s too much for me. Starfinders, you’re all very well armed
and obviously highly trained. Do you think you can handle a

Mayor Aliorno quickly agrees, “Yes, Starfinders! You can
save us, can’t you? Will you be the heroes we need? Will you

to provide cover, as appropriate. The large footprints of the rock
bears trod through the plants, leaving an easy trail for the PCs to
follow. Use the map on page 15 for this encounter.
Creatures: This clearing is the favored nesting site for a
quiver of territorial augerwings. Riled up by the passage of the
unnatural rock bear robots, these augerwings emerge from the
bushes, unleash a blaring squawk, and attack. An augerwing flees

The site of the attack is a mess, with a battered barrel on the

prints in the earth. The barrel has been gouged by large claws
and is leaking mead onto the ground.
A PC who succeeds at a DC 23 Perception check

tree. There’s no obvious source for either of
these substances in the area.

NOT WHAT THEY SEEM
Redozoko did a convincing job creating a realistic animal
likeness to hide these robots’ true nature. When the PCs

attempting to identify the creatures should initially attempt
Life Science checks, as if they were truly living creatures.
Regardless of the results of the check, the PCs have never
heard of rock bears.
Once players express suspicion that the bears might

effects, allow the PCs to attempt Engineering checks to

40 feet tall and provide cover as appropriate. Use the map on
page 17 for this encounter.
Creatures: The rock bears are mining robots disguised as
animals and remote controlled by Zatteh, who is currently
hiding in the brush south of the battlefield. The rock bear robots
spread their attacks around among different PCs to reduce the
odds of killing anyone, as the Mongers want the Starfinders to
win and leave triumphant, not be killed. The rock bear robots
fight until destroyed.
There are several opportunities for the PCs to realize
that something is odd about the rock bears. First, they have
resistances and weaknesses more like a construct than an animal,
such as immunity to mind-affecting effects and vulnerability to
electricity. This may become apparent as the PCs fight.
A PC can also attempt a DC 23 Life Science check (DC 26 for
levels 9–10) to realize the creatures aren’t behaving or fighting
normally for animals. After a bear has been reduced to 30 Hit
Points or less (50 Hit Points or less for levels 9–10), a PC can
attempt a DC 23 Perception check (DC 26 for levels 9–10) to spot
a glint of metal where the disguise has torn.

Development: If the PCs investigate the rock bear corpses
after the battle and succeed at a DC 18 Perception, Medicine, or
Life Science check (DC 20 for levels 9–10) they realize the rock
bears are robots.
If the PCs discover that the creatures are robots and not animals
(regardless of method), they can attempt a DC 18 Engineering
check (DC 20 for levels 9–10) to determine that the robots were
remotely controlled by someone nearby. Alternatively, a PC who
succeeds at a DC 23 Perception or Survival check (DC 26 for
levels 9–10) notices humanoid footprints circling the battlefield.
As there aren’t many places to hide, Zatteh is easy to find in the
nearby brush once the PCs know to look for her.
Zatteh initially pretends to be a victim, ditching the controller
and scrambling out of the bush with teary eyes, claiming she’s
been fleeing the bears all this time and is grateful for the rescue.
If the PCs present at least three pieces of evidence that something
is suspicious, such as the falsified records on the town founder,
the note from the celebration, or evidence that the bears were
robots, Zatteh instead plays the part of a power-hungry politician.
She surrenders rather than fight, complaining the entire time (and
the walk back to Braerton) that she’s far more competent than
Starfinder Society Scenario 5-13
18
Mayor Aliorno, and it’s her who should be running the town. If
the PCs hurl any further accusations at her, whether she’s behind
them or not, she takes the blame herself whenever possible,
making up a plausible explanation that leaves her (and only her)
guilty. If the PCs question her purpose with the rock bears, she
claims that she intended to kill Mayor Aliorno with them, but that
Sheriff Rin and the PCs got in her way.
Under no circumstance does Zatteh acknowledge or name the
Organization. If the PCs have discovered that Braerton is trading
with an outside source, Zatteh acknowledges this, claiming they
trade minerals and ores with a group of small-time traders called
the Mongers in exchange for a variety of imports. She says
that Braerton doesn’t want any help from the Pact Worlds and
decided to hide their trade partners to keep the Pact Worlds out
of their business. She denies that the Mongers have any control
over the town.
The DC to recognize when Zatteh is lying is 28 (DC 32 for
levels 9–10). This doesn’t provide the PCs insight into the truth or
cause Zatteh to change her story.
CONSEQUENCES
When the PCs get back to town, give the PCs a chance to
explain themselves. When they’re done, Mayor Aliorno publicly
thanks the PCs for saving Braerton. If the PCs have captured
Zatteh, Sheriff Rin steps in to arrest Zatteh, and Mayor Aliorno
additionally thanks the PCs for exposing Zatteh’s corruption.
It’s possible the PCs accuse additional citizens of being
involved in Zatteh’s schemes or the robot attack. Zatteh
attempts to take full responsibility for what happened but, if
the PCs are persistent, these citizens play along with this public
charade and are arrested—even if they’re innocent. If the PCs
accuse Sheriff Rin of corruption, the Mayor orders some of
Braerton’s other officers to arrest the sheriff as well. Despite the
heroics of the PCs, none of the Mongers will face consequences
after the PCs’ departure.
If the PCs try to take a prisoner back to the Pact Worlds,
Sheriff Rin and Mayor Aliorno state that neither the Pact Worlds
nor the Starfinders have jurisdiction in Braerton, and that the
town can take care of their own problems. If the PCs argue, the
citizens of Braerton become very upset and begin to shout in
anger at the PCs—most are Mongers after all, and those who
aren’t don’t want to see the PCs interfere out of fear. The PCs
should recognize that this could quickly turn against them, and
that breaking Braerton’s laws or earning the ire of the entire
town is not in the best interests of the Starfinder Society. If the
PCs don’t apologize, Mayor Aliorno remarks that the PCs have
outstayed their welcome and encourages them to return home.
If the PCs don’t uncover any part of the conspiracy, the town
celebrates their return as heroes and wishes them a fond farewell.
In either case, as the PCs gather at their starship to leave,
Roget stops by to say goodbye. He acts friendlier than the PCs
have ever seen him before. He offers the PCs a box of homemade
 Finding the Forgotten
cookies, using an old Akitonian recipe, but he says that they
should be eaten on the way home. When the PCs eat the cookies,
they find a message at the bottom of the box that reads “Ongie
made it out. Find her.” This is the same handwriting as the note
from under the plates.
CONCLUSION
The PCs return to Absalom Station, mission seemingly
accomplished. Ehu and Fitch immediately call a meeting to
get debriefed on the situation at the former colony. If the
PCs report any strange behavior on behalf of Braerton’s
inhabitants, both Ehu and Fitch are concerned and wonder
aloud whether this is part of something bigger. Ehu continues,
“These people went to a lot of effort to make sure that we
wouldn’t be interested in returning. What is it that they’re
really trying to hide?” If the PCs learned about the Mongers,
Ehu additionally remarks, “It must be more than simple
trade—someone erased all records of Kortus IV from the Pact
Worlds!” Regardless, Ehu finishes by pondering the situation.
“This isn’t right. Rest assured that we’ll get to the bottom of
this. We’re not done with Kortus IV.”
Fitch is pleased that the PCs kept each other safe in the face
of danger. If the PCs learned about the Mongers or believe that
there’s a wider conspiracy going on, Fitch remarks, “I’m glad
that you left when you did. Who knows what those people
might have done if you had stayed longer! Who knows how
deep this reaches…”
Fitch reads over the note that the PCs received from Roget.
“So, this Ongie person is out there somewhere? Girl’s got moxie.
I’ll ask Celita to track her down. If she can get us a lead, I can
put a team together to pick her up. If Ongie’s still alive, she’s got
information we need.”
REPORTING NOTES
If the PCs found Zatteh at the site of the battle, check box A.
If the PCs additionally blamed Mayor Aliorno, check box B. If
the PCs additionally blamed Sheriff Rin, check box C. If the PCs
additionally blamed Redozoko, check box D.
Starfinder Society Scenario 5-13

THEY’RE ALL IN ON IT!
It’s possible the PCs will realize that the entire town is part
of a vast conspiracy and want to arrest or punish the entire
settlement. It should be clear that it would be a bad idea
to try to fight an entire settlement of people, and further,
Fitch would disapprove of the PCs’ putting their lives at
risk at this point. The wise course of action is report back to
the Starfinder Society and allow the First Seeker to decide
how to proceed.
PRIMARY OBJECTIVES
The PCs complete their primary objective if they explore
Braerton, talk to the residents, and defeat the rock bears posing
a threat to the town. Doing so earns each PC 1 Reputation with
their selected faction.
SECONDARY OBJECTIVES
To fulfill their secondary objective, the PCs must realize that
there is more going on in Braerton than the residents want to
disclose. If the PCs complete at least four of the following, they
complete their secondary objective and they earn 1 additional
Reputation with their selected faction: acquire a sample of
finitrium ore, acquire the holy symbol of Talavet, catch at least
two citizens lying, determine the rock bears are robots, discover
Berrla Tonhue’s date of death has been altered, discover the
existence of the Mongers, find the Y-shaped logo, and read
Zatteh’s computer files.
FACTION NOTES
Fitch and Ehu Hadif take special interest in this expedition.
Second Seekers (Ehu Hadif): This mission furthers the goals of
the Second Seekers (Ehu Hadif) faction. If the PCs complete the
Primary Success Condition, each PC earns 1 additional Reputation
with the Second Seekers (Ehu Hadif).
Wayfinders: This mission furthers the goals of the Wayfinders
faction. If the PCs complete the Secondary Success Condition,
each PC earns 1 additional Reputation with the Wayfinders.

property and can be used only every 1d4+1 rounds.
Impale (Ex) An augerwing can perform a spiraling dive to drive
its beak into prey. When the augerwing performs a charge
and deals damage, if the result of the attack rolls meets or
exceeds the target’s KAC + 4, the augerwing’s beak pierces
the target’s body; if the target is Medium or smaller, it is also
grappled. The augerwing can keep its beak embedded in the
target if it succeeds at further grapple combat maneuvers
as normal; it receives a +4 racial bonus to these attacks.
A creature can pull out the augerwing’s beak (and remove
the grappled condition) with a successful Acrobatics check
to escape or grapple combat maneuver as normal for the
condition. A creature impaled in this way is exposed to
embalming enzymes (see above) at the start of its turn.
