Sat. Apr 28, 3049: A scandal rocks the so-called "Riviera Circuit" for the mega wealthy; one of its 28 worlds is purported to involve human hunts.

Steiner, or ComStar. Both filthy rich and crazier than Romano.

They watched the movie Hunger Games and thought "Hey thats a good idea!"

Sorry bub, looks like its Dracs.
Edit: Or maybe ALL? looks like Davions have a few worlds. I know Nirasaki (DC) is one

Searching "Riviera Circuit" on sarna drew a big fat blank. That's a first.

More like someone might have picked up a copy of The Most Dangerous Game...

Also, from the CBT RPG (pg. 179, found on scribd here):

The Federated Suns half of the Commonwealth tends to sneer a little at the League’s high-glitz, low-glamour establishments. Only the Gambler’s World gets any respect from the FedSuns, which boasts eighteen of the twenty-eight worlds on the official Riviera-style “circuit.” From the Ammon OceanResorts on New Syrtis to El Dorado’s Casino City to Sun Prairie’s New Monaco, there is no end of getaways for those who can afford them. The Federated Suns is also home to Three House Entertainment, the only agency of its kind with licenses for travel into and out of the Federated Commonwealth, the Draconis Combine and the Capellan Confederation. New Avalon Publishers, the Inner Sphere’s single largest book publisher, has its home office on the FedSuns capital, with remote publishing and distribution centers in every nation. In the Combine, the NAP office is a loose affiliate of Luthien Press.

Combine citizens can vacation at low-key resorts on every planet. House Kurita has recently begun vidcasting the Kensai Kami martial competitions, allowing its citizens to watch some of their best MechWarriors battling each other. In a demonstration of Theodore Kurita’s freer policies regarding mass entertainment, the Solaris ’Mech duels are finally being broadcast within Combine borders. Despite its historically xenophobic tendencies, the Draconis Combine allows outsiders at a few entertainment events and vacation spots. The worlds of Nirasaki and Atria, two of the plush resorts frequently visited by Combine nobility, are part of the Riviera-style circuit for anyone able to obtain visitors’ permits. Nirasaki also hosts the annual Hiyake solar yacht races, the premier event in that sport. The world of Dieron hosts a yearly naked-blade tournament, which evolved from the older Combine tradition of blood sport. This tournament is for professionals and by invitation only. The sponsors sell secondary vidcasting rights to other nations for a high price.

I'm going to guess that a few high-born Dracs got overzealous with their station and a love of blood sport...

I didn't know the Kentares system was part of the Rivera Circuit...

[Werewolf Fetladral]

I just knew they would involve Predator into this game...

It's not hunting unless you intend to make use of the whole kill.


I hear that human tastes sort of like pork... don't eat Riviera BBQ!!!

Probablt Davion or Steiner. There would be no news of this sort allowed into the media in the Draconis Combine. We don't have scandals, we simply have people that might have caused a scandal disappear.

In addition, we'd probably have volunteres to be the hunted. We are a valorous people, if somewhat nuts.

In The CapCom, something like this would be shown on TriD, "See what happends to enemies of the State!"
in the FWL...depends on the substate I suppose.
