'''Mayfly Class''' [d8] ''The Mayfly is a survey and salvage vessel favored by the mining conglomerates before the war. It has since been made obsolete by newer and better models with the stabilization that followed Alliance victory, but to smugglers and other types who want to steer clear of the law, the battered little ships are worth their weight in Platinum. Especially when it comes to getting into or out of tight spaces.
 +
 
 +
[Special: Mayfly Class vessels are equipped with a compact mining laser set on a topside turret with 180 degree range of fire from port to starboard across the bow (cannot fire aft). The laser is considered a Mark 1 mining tool and is legal under Alliance shipping regs].
 +
 
 +
* '''Step Back''' - Roll d4 Instead of d8 for 1 PP
 +
 
 +
* Weaponized Tools - ''Turns out a simple mining laser works on hulls, too, if you give it enough juice.'' Step back Engines for the remainder of the scene to add a scale die to your dice pool for one Action involving the ship's mining laser.
 +
 
 +
* Asteroid Dodger - ''Like a leaf on the wind . . .'' When maneuvering in tight quarters, step back Systems to step up or double Engines.
 +
 
 +
 
 +
'''Ghost In The Machine''' [d8] ''Your ship ain't no ordinary ship. At some point the ship's computer was outfitted with an artificial intelligence program, giving you a level of flexibility and control, even when you're away from your boat. It's like having an extra crew member always standing watch.''
 +
 
 +
[Special: You can use the ship's AI to remotely secure your ship or perform other Systems based actions (such as scans or communications) as if you were on board without expending plot points].

'''Miner Grade Armored EVA Suits''' [d8]
During one of the last battles of the Unification War, the crew procured the Liúlàng Zhě (Wanderer) in a desperate bid to escape certain annihilation, appropriating the near obsolete mining vessel from an abandoned salvage yard just ahead of advancing Alliance forces. Old as she was and slated for scrap, the stout little ship proved surprisingly tough and agile, dodging or shrugging off potential hazards as they fled the system.
 
  
Over the past four years, the battered old Mayfly has undergone a number of interesting modifications and upgrades both inside and out, not all of them entirely legal like, and the mismatched group that fled the Alliance together have made some small name for themselves in the 'Verse as a capable crew that gets jobs done.

I'm pretty good at making sure that stays as up to date as I can make it, but sometimes things slip through the cracks. (I will try to do this in one fell swoop after I make my IC post each day). Likewise if you have suggestions or ideas for episodes, whatever, drop me a line. I'm always looking for ways to make the game better.

==Show Premise==
 +
'''Timeline:''' Hunter's Moon begins less than a year after the end of the Unification War, before the byword Reaver is even a whispered threat in the inner systems.
 +
 
 +
'''Trigger Event:''' The Raven's Eye, a space station and shipyard in orbit around Highgate in the Blue Sun System, is breached by an unknown cluster of ships whose opening salvo fuses the station's magnetic docking locks, preventing any ship in hard-dock from easily departing.
 +
 
 +
Those ships powerful enough to do so, blast free, heedless of the inevitable damage to the station and subsequent loss of human life, but with rare exception these ships, themselves damaged in their violent departure, are picked off before they can escape.
 +
 
 +
As the assailants from the invading fleet breach the station, a sparse handful of resourceful souls steal a Mayfly Class Survey and Salvage vessel hung in dry dock awaiting repairs and not sealed in place by the fused mag clamps on the outer shell, tearing away from the station under cover of debris left behind by the violent departure of larger vessels. The stout little ship is surprisingly tough and agile, dodging or shrugging off potential hazards as it flees the system.
 +
 
 +
It's register lists its designation as the Hunter's Moon.
 +
 
 +
'''Opening Scene:''' Forward six months. The thrown-together crew that fled the Raven's Eye together in an appropriated ship has had time to get to know each other and their peculiar little vessel - which seems to have been heavily retrofitted to accomodate work somewhat less legal than its original mission design of prospecting asteroids and rescuing folk gone lost in the belts. Whoever owned the Hunter's Moon before them was plainly a smuggler or worse. But for all she doesn't look like much, she's a gorramn fine ship.
 +
 
 +
And now her crew has its first legitimate job.

'''Episode 1:''' ''The Saltwife'' [Post 1]

The crew get coerced into going to the Alliance controlled planet Boros to retrieve a resistance Doctor trying to prevent a Terraforming Event. Dr. Freja Madsen is killed, but the crew stops the Event, successfully completing Dr. Madsen's job if not their own.

==PVP==
 
While the core game implies a fairly significant amount of player vs player conflict, I prefer not to run games that lean heavily to that assumption. If you wan't to do something that directly acts against another player there are two options.
 
* Unilateral Permission: The other player agrees to your action. No rolls are needed. Just RP it out.
 
* Limited Permission: The other player doesn't agree that it is an automatic thing, but does agree to let the dice decide.
 
Note: If the players involved do not agree to PVP, it doesn't happen. Move on with something else.
