 The Arla Town station was the sole outpost of the [[guarding_troopers|Guarding Troopers]] in the fledgling fishing settlement of roughly 500 inhabitants. Established in late 2626, it maintained [[the_human_legal_and_governmental_system_in_the_beta_age|frontier law and order]] during Arla Town’s brief [[beta_age|Beta Age]] existence, staffed by six troopers and two [[guarding_bots|Guarding Bots]]. The station fell into disuse after the [[great_war|Great War]] raid by the [[the_trando|Trando Tribe]], and today its charred timbers lie abandoned among the overgrown ruins.

 ===== Tactical Advice for Dungeon Masters =====
-Dockside Mystery – Settlers report fish crates vanishing at night. PCs must stake out the docks, question troopers and dockhands, and uncover whether Trando scouts skirmishing nearby or a shadowy smuggler gang is behind the thefts.
+  * **Shadows Behind Bars** – During a routine lockdown drill, the lights in the Detention Cells flicker out, and one of the cells is found empty — its inhabitant nowhere in sight. With the security slits sealed and Guarding Bots on alert, the PCs must investigate inside the station: question troopers, inspect the interrogation niche for clues, and determine if the escape was aided by a saboteur within the ranks or something more supernatural lurking in the stone walls …
-Last Stand of Arla – During the Trando raid, the station’s troopers made their final stand here. PCs exploring the ruins might discover a hidden journal revealing a traitor among the guards—knowledge that could reshape relations with the Trando during a present-day expedition.
