Message: <blockquote data-quote="Wilphe" data-source="post: 3667407" data-attributes="member: 8221">There is also the possibilty of joining as a Passenger, who then becomes part of the crew.A world-mate of Gwydion or Ruzzk'off who is looking for a way home and hooks up with them. Initially as a (trusted) paying passenger, but later as crew. Heck, if you go with a Vilani or Vargr from Gergigi who was part of the same program as Ruzz'koff but then joined the ISS rather than the Navy he could have tie ins with both of them...Or if you want to play an Aslan, I can hit you with more plot than you might really want...But that might require some background workI do like the idea of putting some low berths in and putting most/all of the NPCs in the crew into frozen watch; that would solve a number of problems.As for prior history: The very short version is here.The group (then sans Gwydion and Tuan) were passengers aboard an unarmed liner, the Keruuchan, heading from Daramm to Dukh. Daramm is very much a Luriani dominated place and non-human aliens were second degree citizens. Whilst waiting for the Keruuchan to leave the group became embroiled with an exiled landless Aslan noble, known for convenience as Treth, who was eventually killed by the police in less than legitimate circumstances.The Keruuchan then made a refuelling stop along the way and received a distress call from a small converted corsair now acting as a free trader, the Dvonn. The captain wished to respond to this but was overruled by the owner aboard. She then assembled a group of passengers (mostly the PCs) to hijack two shuttles and make a rescue bid. Boarding the Dvonn they found most of the crew and passengers killed by a mysterious oxygen consuming organism, however they were able to bring the ship under control and jump out. Dspite being fired upon by a mercenary vessal.Arriving at Dukh they found the place under embargo and the Emperor there in person to tear a strip off of the local Archduke and nobility (of whom the owner aboard of the Keruuchan was one). Upon arrival they were interrogated by Naval intelligence and ultimatly rewarded and placed in witness protection. During the course of this investigation it became apparent that a blood sample from Treth contained the same organism found aboard the Dvonn.Since then the group has been unofficially hired by ISS to show the flag of the Imperium around the frontier areas and demonstrate the benefits of trade and ties with the Imperium. The Domain nobility have not been interested in the provinces and several states have renounced Client status or left the Imperium altogether. As part of this deal the ISS arranged financing on the groups current ship; and they are also carrying an important Imperial Administrator and his two companions out to the provinces on a covert mission.If you have time, read all the way through from the beginning:]http://www.enworld.org/showthread.php?t=65776I certainly recommend reading the first chapter and most recent one as those relate to what the group is currently up to.</blockquote>
