Forums → Forum Games → Rock Raiders: Crystal Wars of Crotis 9 (BETA)

This is a tribute to the Lego Rock Raider sets that started 1999, but were dicontinued 2000. The only set I was able to get in those two short years wasn't a set actually: it was the PC game. Even though I can't find an old enough computer that will run it, I'm making this RPG as a remembrence, or such, to the Rock Raiders (I like the fact they have the Power Miners out now, but, seriously, 10 YEARS LATER!!!???)(Also, like title says, this is a BETA of upcoming Rock Raider forum games)

Date: June 20, 2500
Location: Quadrant 9, over looking the planet of Cortis 9



being spoken by Chief:
It has been 400 years since the Rock Raiders have returned to Earth. They have been able to succsesfully colonize 6 planets in 3 solar systems. They have come to this final planet before they journey home, but it seems that somebody has gotten ther first: holes drilled everywhere on the facing surface. A scout sent down to the surface said they were man-made. Looks like the Rock Raiders have been unknowningly been submitted to a crystal compettition, against a new band of miners, called the Power Miners. Before you are dropped onto the planet from the LMS Explorer, can you please tell us a little about yourself?:
