The Void Dragons

The name’s Stefano, though everyone calls me Nightwind. Yes, there’s a reason for that, and it’s lost to most memories but the few folk that survived with me through the Last War. That’s right, I’m a veteran of the dark days that tore our galaxy apart. We lost so much, and gained so little, if… Read more: 1. There was a beginning

Some shit just never changes. I arrange to meet Starburn, he suggests a dive bar. Not a great one either. I’ve been there, as in walked past it, I really didn’t want that kind of trouble in my life but I guess I should get used to it again. Regardless, I head to the bar… Read more: 2. Pulling his ass out of the fire

The plan was, like all great plans, simple. Get a ship, get a crew, get some work, leave fast, live free, and die well. Not looking for any kind of last stand blaze of glory nonsense by the way. That’s the kind of shit those rich boys get up to trying to make a name… Read more: 3. Starburn Signed Up

What a fucking headache! How hard can it be to find a crew to take to the void with? Apparently, pretty fucking hard if you want some competent people on board. The number of fuckwits that turned up looking for a berth. I swear, I wouldn’t trust them not to open the airlocks and vent… Read more: 4. Signing on a Crew

Okay, so here’s the thing, it’s no good having a ship and crew if you don’t have any work for them. I had The Stone Shark, I had The Void Dragons assembled, we had our supplies and the cash flow was looking pretty bad as a result. The other thing I had was no job… Read more: 5. Starting out…

Well now, that was a bit of an interesting milk run. By which I mean all holy hell broke loose and we only got out of there by the skin of our teeth. Touch down It was going fine, we made it to Pergalon and touched down a couple of kilos from the abandoned town… Read more: 6. Pergalon Loot Grab

Alright, so, we had an unfinished job to do, and we needed the credits. It was time to assemble The Void Dragons and get back to work. Doc had patched everyone up, we had some great new weapons to upgrade our firepower, and we’d scared off the pirate troopers. This should be a cake walk.… Read more: 7. Pergalon Loot Grab – The Rerun

We decided we couldn’t leave Red where he fell. We laid low for a few days, then went back for his body. Dear Sir, My name is Stefano, I’m a Veteran of the Last War that raged across our skies and planets. We have never met but I knew your son, Red. It is with… Read more: 7a. Addendum to Pergalon

Man it never rains but it pours. So, we have the data we’d contracted to get. We even managed to find some nice new gear to augment our supplies. From that side of things, it was going well. On the other hand though, we were almost out of fuel, we were down a crew member,… Read more: 8. Getting a little Shell Shock

With Shell Shock onboard, and us still out of fuel, we needed to get another score to get off this rock. Happily for us, Shell Shock knew of a place we could raid to try and get some creds. Another frontier town, but this one was abandoned. We made our way through it easily enough.… Read more: 9. Upgrades and Fuel

With the Communications Array active we picked up some interesting chatter on the Signal. The bounty available on Dogorin the Soulshark had been tweaked up a little bit. Of greater interest was that he had been spotted on Pergalon. Obviously, we were set to leave; however, this was far too good an opportunity to pass… Read more: 10. Dogorin the Soulshark

Well, we’ve just had one hell of a Botched Deal. As I mentioned, our cargo hold has filled up with a bunch of crap that we can’t use. Trust me, you don’t need a plough in space. I have no idea how it ended up in the hold, but it is. Anyway, point being, we… Read more: 11. Time to Trade

You may, or may not, recall that we’ve been trying to get off this damn rock for what feels like years. It’s not actually been that long but we really needed to move on. Conveniently for us, something came up. While we were picking up some additional supplies, Wolf overheard some disgruntled yokels babbling about… Read more: 12. An Industrial Wasteland

The strangest thing happened to us the other day. We’re cruising through the void, ships on auto, everyone’s in the mess having something to eat. I can’t tell you what it was, because for some unknown reason we let Nitro cook. I honestly don’t know how he made it taste like that, but not even… Read more: 13. We Got Hired

On our way off Kyanite though we managed to run across a space battle. Our scanners picked up a small cargo ship being shot to shit by a Pirate Cruiser. Now, this obviously wasn’t our fight, but we were feeling charitable, and we kind of wanted to test out the ships gunnery bay. Sarge was… Read more: 14. Space Pirates

It was late at night, ship time. We had just just finished up a supply run after collecting the bounty on Hopkirk Vanderfine. Most of the crew were taking a well earned rest.
