RENEGADE SCUM
“get by, get out, or get even” - Jess Levine, TSVE

In this episode we introduce ourselves and the game. Then, we have an open discussion on what Star Wars is and how we want our game to engage with it. Then, we help each other make characters and start populating our setting.
The Wayland Gap Convoy is like a planet on the move; massive, populated, and run through with lowlifes and the criminal element. On the day it was destroyed, six acquaintances became a unit, a team in survival. But before they can find a place in the galaxy, they need to reach solid ground.
Six survivors of the Convoy find one another, and set out to do what they've always done: survive. In their line of work, that means taking a job and not caring too much who offered it. In their recent history, it means Imperials making things real difficult.
Six survivors of the Wayland Gap Convoy set their sights on the crime lord that, from a certain point of view, avenged it. Corbo is no saint either, as Roger well knows. It's an attack on the belly of the beast with no way out.
Getting out of Corbo's ship is just as hard as getting in, and even more dangerous. But then, when the six survivors finally have a moment to take stock of the situation, another power in the Galaxy comes over the ridge.
After pledging to assist the Rebellion's mission here on Giju, but before hearing the details, the six survivors take a moment to stop and talk over camp breakfast. Brought to you by Bleggs.
Vanguard Squadron and their new allies form a plan to liberate the Hollow Ring station orbiting Giju. And if anything unexpected happens, Sediosi is in the crosshairs.
Upon the Hollow Ring Station, the crew and their allies begin the operation in earnest. A cleansing wave flushes out the orbital crime against decency, but friend and foe alike can drown.
Deep in the Hollow Ring Station, surrounded by chaos of their own creation, the crew makes their separate ways back to the safety of The Cloud of Unknowing. But freeing every prisoner from the station carries the risk of letting something even more dangerous back out into the Galaxy.
A string of victories at their backs, our characters reach a mobile Rebellion base. But their reputations precede them. Now they have to face something more fearsome than the Hutts, more frightening than the Empire: accountability.
Counselor Javrik has made his intentions clear and his ultimatums veiled. As the Wayland Gap survivors mull over their options they reach out to one another, and to the Rebel community they find themselves in.
Very few criminals, mercenaries, smugglers, or bounty hunters are team players. But they usually have the sense to respect when a situation could get much worse without cooperation. The exceptions are bound to surprise.
The six are no longer mere survivors. They are a crew. And a crew must mend both their means of travel and their own bonds. But there is little time to resupply and breathe: a certain bounty hunter has finally cornered them.
Navigating space is not just the job of a pilot or an astrogator. Space is a matter of scale. It is navigated socially, it is traveled quickly, and often it involves commuter rail.
