Aquila Rift is a space pirate themed Megagame for up to 40 players. In Aquila Rift, most of the players will be pirates, commanding one ship, and some of the other players will be Space Patrol captains or colonial governors. This is intended as a casual introduction to Megagaming. Even if you lose your ship in battle, we will just issue you another one to keep playing with.
This Megagame from 4-8pm, Saturday 3 June 2017 at Wellycon X. This board game focused convention is being held at Wellington Girl's College in Wellington, New Zealand.

The key elements of gameplay in Aquila Rift are:
- simultaneous movement (and trying to guess what everyone else is doing)
- tracking how much atomic fuel is left on your ship
- a map of wormhole tunnels that will slowly change during the game
- after every three map turns, a turn of committee politics
- special missions to complete for bonus rewards
- exploration for lost treasures and ships
- upgrading your ship and unlocking new ships as you progress in the game.

This is the Law and Order Track for the Serpens Main map table. Each map table will have their own track, indicating whether a sector is falling into chaos, or is being securely defended by the forces of law and order.
