The Expanse RPG (AGE): The Ganymede Insurance Job
Ganymede is a kind of safe haven for the people of the Belt. Sure, it’s run by the Martian government—who treat Belters no better there than anywhere else in the solar system—but they still see it as a sanctuary of sorts. Built as a long-term colony meant to sustain expansion into the Outer Planets, Ganymede grows the Belt’s crops. Many Belter women also travel there to give birth, due to a low rate of birth defects and stillbirths, thanks by the moon’s magnetosphere. It is one of the few places where the Inner Planets use a lighter touch, if for no more altruistic reason than the fear of driving the whole of the Belt into the OPA’s eager arms.
It’s this soft spot in the collective Belter psyche that an unscrupulous insurer named Thomas Katirci sought to exploit. Reasoning that Belters have a tendency to see Ganymede as a nurturing, helpful place, he saw it as the perfect station from which to run an insurance scam on rockhoppers, poor families living in independent ships and scraping by mining small metal and ice claims in the Belt.
Katirci got away with his scheme for several years, charging very low premiums to insure rockhopper ships and paying out minor claims from the money brought in by new clients lured in by his existing ones. The scheme came crashing down just a few months ago when the Luong family came looking for a payout for a damaged Epstein drive and a few injured crew. Insteadof the helping hand they had come to expect, the Luongs found only silence from Katirci. Facing the loss of their ship—both their home and the source of their livelihood—the family turned to the OPA and freelance troubleshooters for help.
