Starting new adventures

 December 2025 starts off with a Pirate Borg campaign begining. 

There may be a pair of Pirate Borg games runing about 1 a month going into 2026. We will see what happens. As of now the first game was played December 6th with three main players: Zach, Adrian, & Blakeley. There may be some other crew members that pop in and out of this game.

The second game is still in a holding pattern, we will post more whe this one happens. In the meantime look for a quick recap of the action from the first game soon.

Intro:

This session sets up a ship and her crew that operates a couple of centuries or so prior to the events taking place in the White Star Star rogues campaign. There will be familiar terminology as well as locations, alien & human races, star sytems, and governing bodies in use here but as they appeared in this earlier time when Quadrant 44 was new.

We are initially going to be following the Captain and crew of a Solar Alliance Frigate the S.S. Malkoha. Let's meet the crew starting with the Officers.

Solar Alliance Frigate S.S. Malkoha

Trial Missions & Encounters:

We had two space encounters, the first was with a Gas Cloud. Initially we suffered a directional failure and went off course. However Astra the Navigational Officer was able to correct course and get the ship out of the cloud. This hazard is now marked on the star charts so other ships can avoid it.

The second space encounter was an attack by a Pirate cruiser. The Malkoha suffered a critical Fire control malfunction after the first hit by the pirate vessel. First officer Dukes was injured and rushed to medical. Bul'Rx was able to rig the system so a single laser shot could be made, which did hit and damage the attacker. In the end Captain Roark was able to evade the Pirates and limp the damaged ship back to Starbase for repairs.

We played out a pair of Planetary missions as well. The first was a Scientific investigation of an alien herbivore on the forest planet of Ozu. Science Officer Arnn aided by recruit Ayers took 3 days to trap and anaylze the new creature.

The second planetary mission was to discover the origin of a geological disturbance in another area of the planet Ozu. After a day of failed attempts the mission was scrapped and turned over to starbase for reassignment to a full geological survey team to handle.

THE END, for now. . . 

More to come, stay tuned!
