Chapter 4 - Raxus Prime | Thread

Sep 8, 2021 12:45 pm

Raxus Prime -

Widely regarded as "the most toxic planet in the galaxy". Raxus Prime is covered in mountains of industrial waste, obsolete technology, starship wreckage, and the remains of centuries of unregulated manufacturing. The planet function's as a poisonous industrial scrap heap.

After 24 hours in the cramped ship, you emerge from Hyperspace outside of Raxus Prime. The orange-brown world hangs in the distance. Between your eyes and the scanners, you can tell there are a lot of ships moving into and out of this system.

As your taking in the information, your Comms beep. It's Dancy, "Glad to see you made it. We're going to start our way through the crowd and we'll meet at the Coordinates Reom gave us. Just a heads up, this is officially an Imperial controlled world, but you can see by the traffic, they are spread pretty thin. "

And it's not a minute later when the Comms beep again "Newly arrived vessel, This is Raxus Prime control please identify yourself and provide your destination, length of stay, and type of scrap or trash to be dropped, and transmit your access permit for Raxus Prime. Over."

The voice sounds bored and has probably repeated that message a hundred times this shift. But he is waiting for a response ...

OOC:

Do we have any permits? The vessel should be registered but I don't know if we need to spoof our ID after events on the Wheel and if the Imperials saw us back on Cholganna, although we're on the bounty hunter ship so it might not have the red flags that the other vessel might trigger. Could we call Dancy and check with her? Ken is going to try and sweet talk them into letting him through, his Charm and Deception are basically the same and I'll chuck in the default PP.

'Greetings Raxus Prime Control. This is the {crkkk}. Always happy to hear a friendly voice out here in the stars. We're hauling electronics waste to {crkkk} and we'll be on your beautiful world as short a time as possible to make the drop, twenty four hours should do it. Your assistance in facilitating a speedy transfer is much appreciated. We received some minor damage from collision with space debris so our comms array is a bi...{crkk} so please bear with me.

He turns off the comms.

'Right, we need a cover story and some permits. Let's call Dancy and see if she can sort us out. Sounds like they got through. I'm not sure if these guys are going to be receptive to my particular brand of charming.'

You do not have permits, your going to a secret illegal base on the planet. Here's a recap of the mission from, geeze, January I guess :)

"At a minimum, I want you to find the ship, assess its condition, and bring back all the information you can to our secret salvaging base on Raxus Prime."

The coordinates you were given do include a route through the mountains of trash that cover the world.

Pergano smiles at the Rodian before leaning over to his droid friend...Ad-Hoc, do scans indicate any imperial ships set to intercept at this time? I am wondering if we can slip into the heavy traffic and get lost in the crowd before we head to Reom. If they are spread thin, they might only be monitoring incoming traffic and not planetside.

Re: Chapter 4 - Raxus Prime

AD-hoc activates the sensors and scans the surrounding space, there are indeed a lot of ships moving to and from the planet. The nearest Imperial ship is at least 15 minutes away and they are not heading in your direction. ( Yet ) Pergano is pretty sure he can make atmosphere before anyone could catch them. Once planetside, there are literal mountains of scrap that make an insane network of canyons. Double checking the information Reom provided, Pergano can see that the final approach route to the 'secret' base winds through several kilometers of these canyons.

Pergano flows through the traffic "flying casual" as best he can sticking to the heavy traffic lanes as best he can, taking the long route if needed. Hitting the comms he hails the main cabin We should be at the rendezvous soon. Doctor, could you make sure our guests are all in top shape on the approach?

Re: Chapter 4 - Raxus Prime

Pergano accelerates into the cloud of ships, the Comms echo with the disbelief of the Imperial official. "Hey, stop where you are, you can't approach without permits." AD-hoc watches the sensors and can tell there's no way the System patrol ship will reach them before they make atmosphere.

As your ship drops toward the surface, you see an unending wasteland of wreckage. The junk piles and trash create their own landscape of winding canyons and lakes of sickening sludge. Building sized recycling droids walk the piles, using massive claws to feed their fiery onboard smelters. A haze of hazardous gas covers much of the area, its color changing with the leaking chemicals around it.

Suddenly, your ship’s proximity alert sounds as four small ships appear on your scopes. They're fast, highly maneuverable, and flying in pairs.

Pergano slowly accelerates the ship and weaves in and out of traffic and junk piles methodically trying to move forward and away from the pursuers.

All at once he sees an opening in the trash piles and his hands go whirling over the controls hitting the accelerator as best he can.

Re: Chapter 4 - Raxus Prime

OOC:

Quick recap for your "map", None of the system craft were able to catch you, and you made it into the atmosphere. As you dove down toward the planet surface, 2 pairs of TIEs that had been alerted to your approach were able to pick you up.

Xelforp - Knowledge (Outer Rim) would be for General info on the Planet. Knowledge (Underworld) is perfect for info on Reom, or for underworld activities on Raxus Prime. Reom doesn't ring a bell, (first name would be to obscure without more context), but Raxus Prime, being a junk world is a resource for Scrappers and you've heard some groups have bases where they sort the scrap and steal good bits for resale.

Reminder - GP dice roller never counts the Triumph as a success, even though it's both. So Pergano's roll ended with 1 success and 1 Triumph.

Pergano - Thoughts on the Triumph ? :)

And now we're into Chase/combat. Since it's two groups, it will be You (everyone on the ship) and them. For my logic sake, let's do

Pergano (just went)
AD-hoc
Ken
Xelforp (just went with knowledge check) no worries.

Bad guys.

You all feel the sudden acceleration as Pergano pours on the throttle. Those of you with a view to the outside see the toxic Yellow-brown landscape and piles of trash rush up around you. One pair of the tie fighters seems to be making an attempt to follow you.

Re: Chapter 4 - Raxus Prime

Looking at the scanners Ken sees the two pairs of ships accelerate and manouvre as only Imperial TIE fighters can.

'Chuba! I knew they were TIEs.'

He swings the twin laser cannons towards the nearest pair, blasting across them in the hope of hitting them and diverting them off course.

OOC:

I see we have Dorsal and Ventral Turret-Mounted Twin Medium Laser Cannons
(Fire Arc All; Damage 6; Critical 3; Range (Close); Linked 1). Does that mean we can have two gunners? Also, are we in range?

I'm gonna roll for Gunnery, take my Blue for Quick Strike and another for Aim. I'll take some strain to Aim a second time. Silhouette wise I think it is 2P but not sure about speed and everything.

Depending on the other modifiers - not crit but I could trigger a second hit with the linked cannon

AD-hoc focuses the scanners forward and manages to get a fairly accurate reading on the next few kilometers of the debris canyons. Which he passes to Pergano's heads up display.

Ken spins the dorsal cannons around and opens up a volley of fire toward the lead tie fighter. Two bolts slam square into the cockpit creating an explosion and the rest of the TIE falls away to the waiting junk pile below.

OOC:

Pergano has a Boost die from AD-hoc's scans.

Ken - yes, there is a Ventral gun so you can have 2 gunners. I went with the linked fire option you suggested.

That is the general thought I was having. Using the environment to the advantage of some kind, I guess since it is a triumph, more than just a set back for a turn but not a "kill them" roll.

Re: Chapter 4 - Raxus Prime

OOC:

Xelforp - It'll be 2 Purple with the possibility of boost or setback dice depending on what's going on at the moment.

As the first TIE explodes, Pergano rockets into the canyon of debris. His first turn is so tight that the thrust from the ship causes a debris avalanche behind them showering into the path of the second Tie fighter. The Tie jukes hard but is unable to avoid the debris, he disappears under the crushing weight of the scrap metal.

You've bought yourselves a breath as it'll take a few seconds for the second pair of TIEs to find their way down to you.

OOC:

Ok, same order as last time. Pergano, your difficulty is based on speed and ship silhouette. So it'll be 3 Purple and 2 Red. You have 1 boost for AD-hoc's scan's and 1 boost from the Ships Handling, plus whatever you have from Talents.

AD-hoc's Target lock does indeed succeed and the information flows to Ken and Foess's screens. Twin Laser Cannons spit blaster bolts from the top and bottom of the ship.

Pergano, pulling on the controls as tightly as he can scraps the next corner of the debris canyon causing several large chunks of scrap to pound onto the hull of the ship.

Re: Chapter 4 - Raxus Prime

With one final slam Pergano slows the ship to a manageable speed. The ship shudders as he clips another debris column and then eases the ship into the main part of the 'canyon'. It's only about ten minutes until you approach the landing area.

Ahead, you see a prominent ridge of junk and debris jutting into the end of a kilometer-long toxic lake of yellow-brown sludge. Islands of wrecked ships, trashed speeders, and garbage dot the lake. Along the shore, away from the ridge, several Jawa scavengers on skiffs are fishing a heavily corroded astromech droid out of the lake.

Three caverns carved into the side of the ridge appear as you descend. Given the roughness of the surrounding debris, and the steepness of the shore, they seem to be the only viable landing spot for a ship the size of yours. As you get closer, you see a Rodian in one of the alcoves waving you in. Moments later Dancy and the Long Shot arrive from a different direction and settle in beside you.

As Pergano lands the ship, his hands and whirling around the controls, one of his appendages reaches for the comms. It looks like we have a welcoming party of some kind. Once the ship is down, crew members should go to meet them. Passengers should probably stay in the back until we have a plan.

Re: Chapter 4 - Raxus Prime

Norta seems very excited about your revelation. "Oh my, that is terrific news. Reom will be most excited when he arrives tomorrow to see what she's brought. Where there any other...." It seems he was about to ask about survivors but stumbles to a stop as both ships are in the middle of disgorging their contents.

Turning back towards Ken after looking around at all of the survivors, "Can you keep everyone here for a bit, I'll go get a crew on to opening up some rooms. We've got a couple of derelict ships that we converted to living space. We can use them for housing for now."

Without really waiting for an answer, Norta hurries off into one of the tunnels in the scrap heap. Returning shortly, he has some assistants that start guiding the survivors off to quarters.

Once the crowd has moved along, he invites you to join him in a small conference room.

Re: Chapter 4 - Raxus Prime

Norta returns shortly with some help to shepherd the survivors off to some temporary housing. Once the people are moving away, Dancy comes to where you are gathered near your ship.

"Well folks, looks like I'll be heading back. I need to get the Longshot back to it's owner, I'm sure they're wondering where we've been. " She hands Ken a Cred stick. "There 2000 on there for the 4 of you, should be enough to cover your work for me. Once Reom shows up, he'll pay you for the recovery of the Survivors and Cratala. It's been interesting, I may be in touch." She turns and heads back to the Longshot.

Norta waves you to come in the direction of most of the others, "My crew will get these beings settled, meanwhile, let's take a seat in the conference room over here." He gestures to a doorway ahead.

Upon hearing that AD-hoc is interested in salvaging, he directs him to the edge of the clearing, past where the ships landed.

"Here, take this datapad, it has an outline of the area. Most of the closer stuff has been picked over, but the map has the most recent 'new' drops of scrap. You may get lucky there. Remember to watch out for Imperial patrols, technically were all breaking the law just by being here."

Re: Chapter 4 - Raxus Prime

AD-hoc arrives where Norta sent him and sees a pair of repulsor skiff's parked at the edge of the toxic lake.

Re: Chapter 4 - Raxus Prime

After Norta gathers Harsol, IT-3PO, Cratala and you guys into a meeting room, he starts to work with Cratala to see what data they were able to bring with them. After a few minutes he stops and turns to you.

"Oh my, this is going to be very tedious for you. Here, here's 2000 credits towards what we owe you. Once I compile a list of everything Cratala has brought, I'll give it to Reom when he get's here tomorrow. I'm sure he'll be thrilled to meet with you and settle up. In the mean time, make yourselves at home, check out our showrooms and there's even what passes as a bar."

OOC:

Scrapheap Point (this 'base') is a collection of old starships that have been connected by makeshift corridors. Most of the ships are completely buried in the scrap with only the corridors that IsoTech crews have created allowing access. In two of the ships are 'showrooms' displaying some of IsoTech's hardware along with meeting and work rooms. The third ship is completely crew quarters. This is the part in the Module where it says "the players finally get some downtime" so if anyone wants to do anything specific or shop for tech or weapons, let me know. Otherwise, we'll take a moment for AD-hoc to do some salvaging and jump to 'tomorrow'.

Re: Chapter 4 - Raxus Prime

AD-hoc drives the skiff about 30 minutes out into ravines of newly delivered scrap. Pulling up to a recent dump site, he steps out onto the scrap and begins searching. It's only a few minutes when he comes across several sheets of Durasteel. He begins to uncover the Durasteel when the heap shifts, like a sink hole opening up. He falls, but only a few meters, banged up but not injured, he stands and climbs out of the hole. He easily finishes digging out the Durasteel plates and stacking them on the skiff. As he heads back, he spots an Imperial Probe droid floating in the distance. It's difficult to tell if it has seen him as he winds around another pile of scrap and disappears.

OOC:

The Fall damage was less than your soak, so all good. You recovered a meter high stack of odd shaped pieces of Durasteel. You're pretty sure its enough to repair the ship, once you have a place to work and some time.

Re: Chapter 4 - Raxus Prime

You approach the conference room where you left the others earlier. It's empty save for Norta, the IsoTech manager for Scrap Heap Point. After reporting the Imperial probe droid, he checks a few things on his screen and rises from his seat.

"Well, then you better come with me, just in case we're out of time." Leading you into the remains of the Correlian corvette and up the turbo lift, he ushers you into the captain's quarters before hurrying off.

Reom lies on the bed as a 2-IB medical droid enters and begins to tend to his leg. He gestures for you to have a seat, pointing to some folded chairs leaning against the wall. He grimaces a bit from the pain as the droid works, and slowly turns to you.

"So, things got a bit exciting while you were exploring the Wheel. Seems that the Sa Nalaor is a lot more popular than I thought. I heard rumors that some of the data might have been copied from the pod before I even received it. When someone gave me this lovely blaster wound when they broke into my office looking for the pod after you left, I decided it was too dangerous to stay.
I came here to hide out, get treatment, and wait for you. You'll have to forgive my multiple deceptions. A secret with secrets, if you will. It certainly has its uses in times like these. Of course, it isn’t perfect."

Shuffling in the bed, looking to get more comfortable, he continues. "I saw your report to Norta. If there is anything else you'd like to share, now is the time. We probably better finish up our negotiations while we have a chance. I must say, things have worked out better than I expected."

Reom sags a bit, and then says, "Got it Norta. Maybe our friends here can help."

"Great, cause we’re gonna need all the help we can get. Scrapheap Point’s done for. Any of those people an engineer or technician? We need some help pushing debris out of the way, if nothing else. Sending Status report to your datapad now, Reom. "

Reom picks up a nearby datapad and winces as he looks at it. "Well, I've got one more secret for you. Our little wrecked corvette here may not look like it, but she’ll do. This thing is operational. Or it should be. We’ve never exactly had a chance to test the repairs, but looks like were going to now. That patrol is just the beginning. We don’t have much time.

"Norta's right, we need a few more repairs before we can launch this thing. You up for it? I know you have your own transport, and you'll need to get that out of here. I'm not willing to leave all of this behind, even as shot up as it is. Help me out, and I'll make it worth your while.

Fairly certain I still add the boost die for the Handling of the ship correct? Difficulty is based the TIE so didn't roll that, but I assume since this is the first turn and they scouting/searching they aren't at full speed yet so just going to roll with 2 purple to start. Let me know if more difficult/easy (I think this puts us at 4 speed, and if we are faster then them I can upgrade a Green to Yellow so throwing an extra yellow as I imagine they are probably at speed 3)

Ok, so the blues in the second roll should have been blacks, but that's pretty much a wash with you still having 2 Advantage.

While Pergano flies the Slippery Ghest hard at the TIEs, Ken unleashes a wild barrage of fire from the dorsal laser cannons.

OOC:

So we were at Short range and Pergano has moved us into Close range. Sil 4 for a YT-2400, TIE is 3 so difficulty is 2P. Firing on the TIE that hasn't gone yet and Ken gets a boost from Quick Strike. He will Aimx2 (taking 2 strain) and fire AGL 4G (he has no skill)

OOC:

That's 8 damage which I think is enough to take down a TIE. Unless the 4 advantages are needed to trigger a crit or to fire the linked cannon in order to disable the TIE then I'll take them as one black die for the target and one blue die for the next check (Ken or Pergano)

I wonder whether it'd be better to let Ken act first next round and see if he can take down the other TIE. If he does I'll take all 4 advantage for 2 boost dice.

Sorry, I should have posted the difficulty. It was hard, 3 purple. Also, the blue dice are 'Boost' , you could have one since AD-hoc's last roll had an un-used advantage he could pass to you. To make things interesting, the Triumph counts as a Success, but the Dice roller never counts it. So your final count would still be 1 Success, 1 Threat, 1 Triumph. :)

Working quickly once in Medical, Foess stabilizes the Technician. As he comes to, AD-hoc realizes that a piece of metal that Foess removed from the tech's arm was part of a shattered power coupling. It must have shorted when he was installing it. That would explain the arcing electricity, and probably still needs to be replaced.

A moment later, Reom comes over the ships comms. "Woo hoo, our new friends just dusted that pair of TIEs that was searching for us. There will probably be reinforcements headed this way now. So let's get this ship sealed up, We're going to start take off procedures in 10.

OOC:

The countermeasures alerted the whole planet of the location correct? How big is our time crunch are we in? I am thinking we can actually use that to our advantage to give the ship more time. If we go as far as we can make away from the corvette just at the edge of orbit, turn on the countermeasures, then blast into hyperspace we could distract the Imps to another location.

I think that would take, a quick talk of jump coordinates with the corvette. Some high speed flying (I could use my ability to push the ship one above max speed for a limited time), then an astrogation check after the countermeasures are active?

Pergano, you should already have the coordinates for the meet up. No one said they activated the countermeasures, so I was assuming that they are off. If you turn them on, every one on half the planet and ships in low orbit will know about it. But it creates a huge sensor dead zone around you. If you take off in one Direction and turn on the countermeasures, you will probably acquire a following.

One of the techs looks at AD-hoc for a second before replying, "Uh yeah, back down this corridor and left, Maintenence closet should have some.

From over the intercom comes the voice of one of the bridge crew, "Final flight checks beginning, all sections confirm readouts and readiness status."

I like it. If you take some pot shots towards them while I fly away that certainly will help. Once they see us, we make for orbit and hit the jammers. Once we break atmosphere we punch it to the rendezvous point. With any luck, that will keep them from detecting our friends and we can get away without a scratch. Pergano starts hitting some buttons and then does a full spin around in his chair before hitting comms to the corvette How long until takeoff? We will draw them away but you got to get off this rock fast.

Pegano points the ship up and burns hard for space. The TIE Fighters, still surprised by Ken's Hello, barely have time to spin towards the Ghest before the sensor jammers blind their scopes. Going into pure pursuit mode, they accelerate hard, not only to close the distance, but to maintain a visual and the rapidly climbing ship.

Back aboard the Corellian corvette, as the sensor jammers bathe the area in white noise, Reom's crew triggers the explosives around the ship causing an avalanche of scrap to fall away from the corvette. The Blockade Bandit rises from Raxus Prime's toxic surface and heads for space.

AD-hoc, nice rolls. Your all set to goo someone :)

Greetings! After some discreet asking around, Foess has located a supplier of liquors. 'Scuse me, I know this is perhaps hard to procure, but do you happen to have a bottle Corellian Whiskey stashed somewhere?

Chapter 4 - Raxus Prime

Returning to the point in the corvette where he left off, or at least, where he thinks he left off, Ken finds that many of the sellers and stands have moved about or moved on. But he's able to locate someone selling some of the equipment he was looking for. After that display of martial prowess he thinks he ought to be able to get himself a discount with his winning charm. 'What's your price for someone who just saved your life?'

OOC:

Ken's going to spend his XP on Gunnery and Negotiation. And then try and use his new skill to negotiate down the price on his purchases. I'll treat it like a 2P roll and you can add in whatever else is needed.

Chapter 4 - Raxus Prime

Foess asks around the shops and even the currently closed bar, the Mon-Cal there shakes his head sadly... "Sorry, best I can do for you is a couple bottles of Lothian Rye."

The Devaronian behind the table looks Ken up and down for a moment.. "Yeah, I think we can work something out. It was nice not to be the ship being chased off planet for a change."

OOC:

Ken, take 15% off your purchases. Foess, the rye is 15 credits a bottle.

Ken gives the Devaronian an unsettling wink with his nictitating membrane and a narrow mouthed Rodian smile. 'Good doing business with you.' As he starts to walk away with his gear he turns back and points, 'And you're welcome.'

OOC:

Woo hoo. Get in.

Ahh well, I guess a bottle of Rye is better than no whiskey at all!

Foess hands over the credits, then heads back to the general quarters to find glasses in case anyone might want to share.
