In the early 1980s, Grenadier Models was a manufacturer of fantasy miniatures. In 1984, Grenadier decided to diversify by creating licensed RPG adventures. During the year, Grenadier published four adventures: Cloudland for Advanced Dungeons & Dragons ; The Horrible Secret of Monhegan Island for Call of Cthulhu ; Disappearance on Aramat for Traveller; and Raid on Rajallapor for MSPE, [3] a 48-page book written by Gary Pilkington, with interior artwork by Flint Henry, and cover art by Martin Kealey.

In Issue 20 of Imagine , Nick Davison disagreed with the mystical element in Raid on Rajallapor, saying, "The scenario is well produced but I have my doubts about supernatural intervention, a device which also appears in [previously published MSPE adventure] Jade Jaguar . Perhaps the designers think this is an original way of shaking the players. But if it is repeated, surely it loses its impact?" [1]
