[[MegaTraveller 1: The Zhodani Conspiracy]] is a [[Paragon Software]] software product.
* It is a computer game written for [[MegaTraveller]].

== Description ([[Specifications]]) ==
Unlike the previous [[Frontier Wars]], the [[Fifth Frontier War|fifth]] started as a well-organized and planned offensive by the [[Zhodani]] and the [[Outrim Coalition|Outward Coalition]], which consisted of the [[Vargr]] and the [[Sword Worlds]]. The Zhodani plan called for the secret shipment of [[Weapon|military weapons]] and [[armour]] to dissident guerilla units on select [[world]]s within the Imperium. These [[Ine Givar|elite Zhodani rebel forces]] planned surprise uprisings against targeted [[Base|Imperial military base]]s. This would divert major groups of Imperial troops, and [[starship]]s, as  well as the attention of the Imperium, as the Zhodani steadily increased their military forces in the [[Spinward Marches]]. Following the surprise uprisings, the Zhodani would launch their primary offensive against weakened and unprotected [[Imperial Space|Imperial territories]].

The Zhodani conspirators planned to smuggle [[Weapon|arms]] to the dissident forces within Imperial borders with the help of [[Regina Subsector]] chief executive of the [[Sharurshid]] [[Megacorporation]], Konrad Kiefer. Kiefer, unsuspectingly, planned the shipments using [[Sharurshid]]'s [[facilities]] and resources, as well as his own contacts with black market smugglers, criminals and interstellar pirates. The [[Zhodani]] no doubt made lofty promises of power and wealth to Kiefer to turn him against the [[Third Imperium|Imperium]].

Fortunately, [[Sharurshid]]'s leading  authorities already suspected Kiefer was illegally trading, embezzling corporate funds and forging company records. Lenara Raclor, a special agent from [[Transom]], Sharurshid's intelligence agency, was assigned to investigate Kiefer's activities. She soon uncovered the Zhodani plot and found records of shipment dates and locations of [[Weapon|secret arms]] deliveries. With the help of several ex-military travellers, Raclor obtained the holographic data and accompanying decoding keys and...

Now it's your turn to write history! You control the five ex-military travellers as they set out to thwart the Zhodani conspiracy and capture traitorous Konrad Kiefer.

The fate of the Imperium rests in your hands. How will the [[Fifth Frontier War]] unfold? Your actions will determine the outcome and change history forever! {{Page cite|name= MegaTraveller 1: The Zhodani Conspiracy |page= 1 |article= User Guide}}
