In the first module of the "Volturnus Trilogy", SF-0 Crash on Volturnus, the player characters involuntarily arrived on the alien planet Volturnus when their spacecraft crash-landed. At the conclusion of the second module in this series, SF-1 Volturnus, Planet of Mystery, they learned that an invading battle fleet of the mysterious and aggressive aliens called the Sathar [1] would be arriving in two weeks. [2] In this, the final adventure of the trilogy, the humans have only a few days to create an alliance of the four native races of the planet if there is to be any possibility of defeating the Sathar.
