The Crossing is a Mongoose Publishing adventure source book written for Mongoose 2nd and published as part of the Deepnight Revelation boxed set and originally released as part of a Kickstarter Campaign. The Crossing was the third of the stretch goals of the Kickstarter campaign.

Deepnight Revelation is a grand 20 year campaign into deep space, commanding the exploration cruiser Deepnight Revelation. Outfitted for a one-ship expedition along the Great Rift to the edge of the Spiral Arm. Deepnight Revelation will explore the uncharted systems along its path; contact unknown species and weather unpredictable dangers.

The Great Rift

Deepnight Revelation must find a way across the Great Rift, or backtrack hundreds of parsecs. There is a way; a chain of isolated star systems and deep space refuelling points, but it is hazardous in the extreme. The Travellers have good reason to believe the crossing is possible – another expedition passed this way before them.

Those Who Went Before

As the Travellers make their crossing they come upon an extremely rare phenomenon – a frozen star, its temperature so low that it has a solid crust of exotic materials. On the surface is an obviously artificial object – someone landed here and built a structure! If the Travellers dare to follow they will learn more about the expedition that preceded them.

Crisis Point

Weary and dispirited, the crew are beginning to doubt they can complete the mission. With disaffection rife and factions forming among the crew, the Travellers must decide whether to abort the crossing – perhaps even the whole mission – or rally their crew for a leap into the unknown.

The Crossing. Reaching the point of no return.
