If you feel I have forgotten to update the table or that my math is wrong, let me know OOC or DM me and I will fix it. Likewise, if I make a mistake on the Character/GM Complications/Assets lists, let me know and I'll fix it. These also get updated when I update the IC thread.

==Our Story So Far . . .==
 
==Our Story So Far . . .==
'''Timeline:''' ''The Second Unification War'' begins some fifty odd years after the events of the movie <u>Serenity</u>. The signal got out. The reavers were obliterated. And the alliance lost much standing in the aftermath. The border planets and beyond, becoming ever more emboldened, begin to refer to themselves as the '''Independent Rim'''.
+
'''Timeline:''' ''Reavers of the Rim'' 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:''' Independent spies discover that the alliance is playing with Pax again, injecting border and rim citizens, disposing of those who give into the Pax and training those taken by the Rage as shock troops. And they are getting closer to discovering the genetic markers that lead to one result over the other.  
+
'''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.
  
It is then that the Independent Rim begins to become a legitimate military force in opposition to the alliance. Planets and outposts are trained and fortified, and the independents begin full scale ship building and armament stockpiling.
+
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.
  
'''Opening Scene:''' Forward several years and the Independents release their first warships and scouts, taking aim at the core, declaring war openly across the verse. A crew of handpicked recruits are sent out in the Tian Zhi Jian, the Sword of Heaven, the latest long range scout ship, specced, registered, and equipped as a frontline medical ship to act as both a support and spy vessel.
+
As the assailants from the invading fleet breach the station, a sparse handful of resourceful souls steal a Dakota Class Light Freighter 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 agile, dodging potential hazards as it flees the system.
  
A Kingfisher Class vessel, the Tian Zhi Jian is fully AI equipped.
+
Its register lists its original wartime designation as the Duizhang De Duzhu (Captain's Wager), but it's current designation is the Jiangshi (Blood Ghost). It is owned by Ke Jian of the Hóng Tiān'é (Red Swan) tong.
  
'''Note:''' The crew has command and tactical provenance of the Tian Zhi Jian, but they are stil soldiers. Independents own her and have a certain say in what 'jobs' the crew takes on her mission.
+
'''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 accommodate work somewhat less legal than its original mission design. The tong boss who owned her 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.
