Vessels

Ships:

• SS Serenity
• SS Wayfarer
• SS Urmom, A crew of three adventurers were hired by a mysterious patron. A resplendent woman in lavender sartorial regalia, flanked by two imposing body guards. Some mania apparently struck the crew on their inaugural flight. Two of the three were conspiring to murder the third and sell her organs on the black market. They retained the services of galactic girl guides, who brokered a deal for two tons of petrochemicals and a ton of grain. Due to extremely bad crew negligence the Skiff crashed just outside the extraterritorial fence into a no man's land. There were no survivors and no official explanation.

Introductory adventure into the wilds of the Unofficial (world) campaign is Flash Gordon and escort duty. The heroes have mustered out and are assigned to a small ship to seek their fortunes. Soldiers of fortune, ex-military mercenaries, or would-be space pirates or merchants, the Mr. Johnson usually assigns them to a typical culprit like the cramped Buck Jolly Rodger's Class, Pirate Skiff. A current example of this campaign is at the moon Tawnos, a Noble Holdings adventure.
