Trading Places
Once all the crew were aboard, the Black Swan disengaged from the Profiteer and scooped up the cargo while a single missile was enough to destroy the fighter, and the Swan made its escape as six more fighters were detected on the radar. Returning back to Drinax to claim their reward from Prince Richter, they discovered that he had left the port for destinations unknown and after selling their booty, they were encouraged by the King to make haste to follow the mysterious ship

Trouble on Thebus
Heading to Thebus starport to look for the Principled Profiteer, the crew asked around but without much luck. Sensing that there was an aslani on the station in a berth, they tooled up and under the false pretenses of selling spares, sent a cargo container with a smuggling compartment through to the target's berth where Al A'Bahmma jumped out and mowed down the aslani and after a brief questioning, the engineer Afrash was also killed. Sensing an opportunity, Halfnir and Bart

The Long Shadow
After gathering the crew, they smuggled in some weapons and headed back to the vault and after some negotiations the vault was opened, but contained mainly survival equipment. Some precious metals and machine parts provided a modest haul which was smuggled out with a truck back to the ship. Investigations into the fate of the feral aslani uncovered some empty cannisters near their previous fort, and it transpired that raiders in a ship bearing the symbol of a rising dawn had

Bogburp's Rampage
The pirates prepared for the attack of the feral aslani, who proved themselves to be unnaturally strong and ferocious, quite unlike the usual aslani. The defence of the pallisade was going well until Dr Bogburp started indiscriminately spraying friend and foe alike with his SMG! After four townsfolk were mowed down and Halfnir horribly wounded, the townsfolk opened fire on Bogburp wounding him, but nearly as badly as when an incensed Halfnir fired a rifle into the trigger hap

Mission to Ghormount
Arriving in Drinax, the crew discovered that Peytr Valis' fleet was also making use of the King's starport, following Zhil's arrangement and they seemed poorly inclined towards the aslan, as King Oleb was walking with Prince Kasiyl. It turned out that a wand or key from centuries ago could open a vault somewhere in Paal, one jump away. After Bogburp worked out that their newly arrived crew member, T'ni was a psionic, and with Halfnir involved as well, it wasn't long before th

Fallen Comrade
As the pirates tried to move through the ship they suddenly found that the iris valves were locked shut, and Halfnir discovered that the route he had arrived by was also closed off now. Jack and Halfnir started hacking with one door, assisted by Bogburp remotely but time was against them. Tex was by one iris valve when at the opposite end of the corridor, two Imperial marines came through the iris valve as it opened, shouting to get down on the floor and aiming plasma guns. T

Seizing the Treasure Ship
Halfnir tried in vain to persuade that Osha's death was the work of a madman, but the crew were not impressed and he was consigned to the brig. Repairs continued on the Martin II with Reese triggering a booby trap and maiming one of the marines. Doktor Bogburp applied for the position of astrogator and was soon given it, and Tex and Reese arranged for some spares to be brought on board, with their weapons and gear in a smuggling compartment. Soon the ship was ready for takeof
