A Starfinder Society Scenario designed for 5th- through 8th-level characters.
Desperate to pinpoint the location of the mysterious mastermind behind the Data Scourge digital attacks, the Starfinders attend an interfaith religious summit to connect with representatives of the Church of Triune. When religious zealots attack the summit, the Starfinders are caught in the crossfire! Can the Starfinders defend the summit's religious leaders? Or will feuding faiths shatter their burgeoning alliances?
Today i Gm´ed this scenario for experienced players and i have to say that the idea of this scenario is really bland, the characters are really bad written and the fights are underwhelming and boring. The scenario also hast the meta plot tag, yet it only shows the plot in one moment in the whole scenario and that doenst justify the meta plot tag in my humble opinion. Overall i have to say that this scenario is the worst scenario i have ever experienced (i experienced every scenario so far) and it has no value of getting played by Starfinder connaisseurs or beginners.
The scenario was a mess storywise and from a skill perspective.
It started with the worst influence setting I have seen in a long time… The skills are unfitting and force you to use sense motive as they do not really fit. Especially with the priests all being lorebreaking
Spoiler:
For example a NG! Damoritosh priest who does denounce the big part of his religion and sounds more like a Gorum priest
and weirdly written this part does not work at all. Especially with the primary being dependent on having either Sense Motive or being able to guess unfitting skills for the one character that matters.
Spoiler:
No computers/engineering for the Triune Priest.
After reading through this section at least the success is dependent on getting everyone convinced which is a nice change of pace.
All in all this felt like a bit of a mess, which is helped by mistakes regarding the skills (Asking for non-existing skills like Society) The combats were fine(ish) but nothing to write home about and would have profited from another combat as it ran very short.
It isn't in Pact Worlds, but might have been commissioned for it. I know I've seen it around, but don't have it in my "library," which suggests to me that it's possibly just been used for promotional stuff, like the temp cover above.

Pact Worlds Pawn Set, listed as Human Hellknight. Not in the Pact Worlds book proper, which leads me to think it's originally from an AP volume.
Back on the topic of this scenario: So you're telling me that Starfinder Society gets into high shenanigans at a Triune summit, what, two months before the Drift crashes?

No, no, I don't see anything going wrong here.
I may need to rethink sending my Formian Soldier and his malware infested datapad... eh, what's the worst that could happen?

Even knowing the recent revelations, now there's a wee part of me that wishes the entire Data Scourge could be traced back to a single viral malware-infected Abysshead plushie.
Sudden wacky longshot theory that I'm going to toss out now before I'm (100% dead certain) proved wrong when this hits tomorrow:
The Drift Crisis will be caused by...
Spoiler:
the Year Four Big Bad attempting to upload the virus into the entire Drift beacon network as a platform to launch itself into Triune itself. Triune hits the kill switch to stop it.
