Episode III - Junkyard Juke

We arrive at Raxis Prime in fine form, and quickly pick up a Tie Fighter escort, asking us to hold stations. Dragool will have none of that, and the Rhodian punches it past them. A brief chase and combat ensues, leaving us even more battered. More Tie Fighters! This time Dragool's piloting fails us, and we have a major collision with space debris, leaving us on a crash course with the planet! During our uncontrolled descent, Rawr and G'unresh manage to shoot down our escort, and Dragool pulls a miracle out of his orifice to land us without a crash being involved. Some duck tape repairs let us take off again to the Scrap Heap Point rendezvous.

We see many Jawa, and a Rhodian directing us to a landing bay. We are greeted by Norta, who is Rheom's representative.

After some negotiations, Harisol and Cratala strike a bargain, and we are told Reom will be here in a couple days.

We do a bit of shopping:
+  2,000 deposit for successfully completing our mission (balance to follow with Reom)
-   2,500 credits (repairs
-   4,500 credits (jet pack for me)
+40,000 for the scout ship
- 18,000 for cybernetics for Rawr (couple of legs, plus enhancements)
-      350 for stun grenades
-      750 for frag grenades
- 20,000 for thermal detonator
-   1,000 for flame projector attachment
-      200 for sling for G'unresh's disruptor rifle

During some browsing, turns out that some of the "Jawa" were actually disguised Yi-Yar clan members! There are 6 Rhodian and 6 Salustan! A quick combat ensues, when we discover "they must be going after Reom!" (huh? he's here?) Surprise! He's in the sick bay!

There are 12 Trandoshans trying to get into the sick bay with explosives. The battle starts badly, with Dragool's list of critical hits soon exceeding his I.Q. and joining Provence in La-La Land. Just when Rawr, G'unresh and I were debating a tactical withdrawl, Reom opens the sick bay doors holding a thermal detonator! (We've got to get ourselves some of those!)

After G'unresh and I convince them all that we are not in league with the other Trandoshans, things settle down. Reom explains that others were also looking for the Sa Nalor, and that explains our competition on Cholganna.

In appreciation, he pays up for our original contract, and throws in a nice bonus.

+  8,000 credits to finish off our contract payment
+20,000 credit bonus for saving Reom (and maybe for the good contract performance)

He also manages to cut our bounties in half! Woohoo! I'm still a wanted lizard, but not as much as before. (That makes me sad because I feel as if I am not wanted)

We help with repairs on their corvette, but not much for our own ship. Incoming tie fighters! We clear them out with the help of both ships, then jump to a rendezvous, at Dantar's asteroid/station.

+7 XP
Total financial change: +22,700

Episode I - Sent In Search of the Sa Nalaor

Episode I

Our good friend Dantar has an associate who is looking for some talents, and Dantar thinks we might be interested. We follow him to The Wheel, a neutral station with some kind of protection gambit going on with the Empire (must be, because they're doing pretty fine if you ask me!) Of course, the station has outlandish docking fees. I mean come on, 200 credits per day? And with approx 300k people on the station, they must be making a killing!
The Wheel
We are directed to meet Reom, of Isotech. They are somewhat legit, with some black-ops on the side. Their protocol droid CZ14 introduces us to the Twi'lek Reom. Reom tells us the store of the "Sa Nalaor."

  • Ship of legend, approx 15 years ago.
  • Salvage hunter's wet dream
  • separatist treasure ship
  • Was at the outer rim during the clone wars
  • One of their message pods recently found
  • We have their last known location - outer fringe of the outer rim!
Tasked with
  • Finding the ship
  • Assessing its condition
  • Return info to RAXUS Prime
  • Find special tech
    • 2x reward
    • 3x if good (don't ask me what that means... I can't read my claw-writing)
  • Bring IT3PO ("IT3" for short) with us to ident the crew and cargo
  • We have the coordinates
Reward of 10k total, other treasure is 50/50

No other groups that they know of, but independent searchers are to be expected

History:
  • Ship's captain had agreement with Reom's father
  • Cpt. was asked to come to Cholganna System with undue haste with medicines and supplies
  • Deal would still be intact (just need the tech)
  • IT3PO is our proof of relation
  • Deal was something related to advanced tech
People
  • Capt. Rel Harsol of the Sa Nalaor
  • Father Ropok of ISOTECH
We are given a datachip with the ship's specs and layout, along with a holo of the captain
Something else about a scrap heap point on Raxis Prime, Reconn path through the junkyard canyon. By this point in the conversation my teeth were aching and I wanted to kill something, so my attention was wandering. 

Provence then did his techno-voodoo
  • Data entry by "Grimners"
    • Sa Nalaor desired, and famous for disappearing
    • Loaded with treasure and credits
    • Corellian trade route with cyber techs
    • Chased by Imperials, and disappeared in a hyperspace jump
    • Was banking clan frigate, with thousands of battle droids! Crew of 50
  • Find schematic, was typical Munificent Class ship
  • The planet is remote, with temperate atmosphere
  • Cholganna have something called "nexu"
We invest in 
  • 2 crash survival kits (600 credits total)
  • Balanced hilt for me and Rawr (2000 credits total)
  • Space suits for all (150x5 = 750 credits total)
  • Top-up our bacta tank
  • Stock up on rations (200 credits)
Back at our ship, we notice a 'droid placing something on our hull. We dispose of it before we leave. Probably a tracking device.

We are contacted by She-Ra (???), and told that IT3 should arrive in 3 minutes. Of course, things go pear-shaped, when 3 Rhodians on a grav sled load up the protocol droid and take off. After a heroic battle surrounded by an adulating crowd, we get back our droid. But it appears the crowd was not pleased by our performance, because we are arrested and forced to pay for "damages." 15,000 credits worth!

Reom is angry at us.

Dragool sums up my feelings by saying "The Wheel is too square for me"

36XP split 4-ways = 9 XP each

Starting credits = 65,850
Expenses = 200+600+2000+750+200+15000 = 18,750
Ending credits = 47,100
