Let me start by giving a BIG thanks to James M. Spahn, David Okum, and Darrel Miller. You see without these three gentlemen my Daughter's "Star Sailors of Quadrant 44" campaign would not have started!

I had downloaded White Star and really liked what I saw, but had put it on the back-burner as my Labyrinth Lord/OSE Mega-Dungeon was picking up some interest with some fellow gamers. Then the Magical Girl supplement and Star Temple ping my radar and my brain starts to tell me just how MUCH my Tween daughter would dig this. So this past Saturday night I set up my kid for a Starship full of AWESOME she never saw coming.

The afternoon started with me telling her a friend was coming over to game with us that evening and would she like to play? "Sure Dad ." she says, and I have her roll stats on an index card. I give her a brief background that we will be playing a "space" game and she is a teenager living on a desert planet with her Uncle. " Like a Luke Skywalker?" she asks, "Just like that." I reply. Instead of a droid I tell her she has a pet that is native to her planet.

Location:
Yellow Shift - Quadros Sector - Saturgalia System - Vector 10/21

The Story begins:
My Wife and our friend Bryan create the following PC's - Malbar Distain who is secretly a Star Sailor, and her pal a Space Pilot Gore Kutchek. They have come to the planet Saturgalia in search of a rumored ancient Star Temple home of the Star Amulet and hopefully the Star Sailor who defends it.

Avangaline is helping her Uncle Benn pick up supplies at Outpost 18, when she sees some strangers arrive in town in a speeder. "The skies have been busy today." remarks Zed the Snailoid merchant to the young girl.

Strangers arrive in town

The "Strangers" start asking about ruins in the area and Benn gets wary, so he tries to get out of town quick. However Avangaline keeps hearing a "voice" in her head saying "They're coming, they're coming!" She is overwhelmed by this and passes out just as a black ship pauses overhead and teleports a trio of beings into the town center! "Find the girl!" commands an albino man with a shock of pink hair as he draws a star sword. His minions are two creatures seemingly composed of living darkness...

"Oh no, not now!" mutters Benn as he tries to put the limp form of Avangaline into their speeder while Felix her pet Flyon circles about. The strangers spring into action as Gore draws his blaster, "I'll hold off these goons!" he says to his partner while firing off two shots that strike the mysterious pink haired man. Malbar rushes to aid Benn using her med-kit she revives the girl with a stim-shot. "They're here!" Avangaline cries out as she awakes from the psychic stupor. Malbar, Benn and a few brave townsfolk all join in defending Outpost 18 and the Albino teleports away leaving his minions to be blasted to atoms!

Benn agrees that Gore and Malbar should accompany them back to their home, where he can reveal the secret he has guarded for so long. At the desert abode the group is told that Benn came here to stay with a 2 year old Avangaline when asked by his sister and her Husband before they left on a quest 15 years ago. "Your mother was the Star Sailor of this Sector, and now I'm sure you share her power!" says Benn to the young girl. Malbar then relays the history of the Star Sailors to Avangaline who is completely surprised by this turn of events.

ED-O4 the robot calls from outside, "Sir there are two creatures approaching this dwelling!"
"It must be them!" grunts Malbar.
Gore urges Benn to get off planet as soon as he can, and that he and Malbar will help Avangaline now once they locate the hidden Star Temple. Benn reveals the location of the temple and rides off into the night vowing he will be in touch.

"The creatures are here!" alerts ED-O4.
Gore, Malbar and Avangaline step outside to face the threat. "Now, Avangaline! You must transform now!" a tiny voice urges the young girl. She realizes it is coming from her pet Felix. "Felix, has it been you I've been hearing!"
"Yes, we must activate your powers quickly. Or the Gloom could kill you!"
With the aid of her mascot and Malbar who now reveals that she is also a Star Sailor the young girl uses her Star Power Transformation and gets her Star Wand! The young Star Sailor discovers her Power of the Heart Color is Teal, and she has the Raging Sea Tsunami Power!

A Star Sailor is revealed!

The battle is short and brutal but our heroes win through. Binding their wounds they jump in the speeder and head out to the coordinates of the hidden Star temple. "So why are you guys looking for the Temple?" asks Avangaline. "We need to locate the missing Star Amulets before the Gloom, or all Star Sailors will lose their powers forever." says Malbar, "The Gloom is becoming more powerful everyday and I hope the legend of the Star Amulets location is true!"

As the sun sets over the desert of Saturgalia the party arrives at the location Benn gave them. It truly is an ancient Star Sailor Temple. Approaching cautiously the group is not surprised when a Pink haired man steps from the shadowy entrance with a star sword drawn.
"We knew you would eventually come here, and our Masters will be most pleased with not one, but two Star Sailors worth of power to drain!"
"Nobody talks to my friends like that!" says Gore as he quick draws his blaster and lays the villian out cold.

"Less talk, more shootin' "

The group disarms and binds the Pink haired man and leave him with ED-O4 as they venture into the temple. After a bit of searching around and recovering three star sector charts from a container that could only be opened by a Star Sailor; and a piece of ancient-tech from an old chest they discovered in a large meeting Hall with a statue of the first Star Sailor. "oh, Sailor Ysu." whispers Malbar the first and greatest of our line! The group approaches in awe, when a voice is heard echoing through the hall. "Welcome, I am the spirit of Ysu and you are welcome here Star Sailors and friend."

The first Star Sailor!

"Sailor Ysu," pleads Malbar "we need to find the missing Star Amulets, and one is rumored to be here. Can you tell us where it might be?"

"I can, but let the newest of you come forth as only she can see where the Amulet is hidden."

Young Avangaline steps up to the statue and reaches out to touch it, when she realizes this is an illusion and another Albino stands before her ready to strike her down with a star sword!

"Star Sailor Transformation!" the young girl is protected from the blow that would have surely killed her, and the star energy disrupts the dark powers of the female twin of the albino man from before. Her red eyes flare as she fumes over the fact that she has failed. Unlike her twin she has blue hair and a much more violent bent. "Arrghh! I almost had you child!" she yells as two Gloom creatures appear from the shadows. Malbar uses her Star Sailor Transformation and Avangaline sees that her Color of Heart is Black! The group fights together and defeats the Gloom minions but not before the unknown Albino woman teleports away with a final warning. "You can run Star Sailors but we will find you, and the Star Amulets will be ours!"

The girls are saddened that the bad-guys must have gotten away with the Star Amulet, and how can they stop them now. "Well I wouldn't say we aren't coming out of this with nothing." says Gore as he reveals that during the fight he pick-pocketed the Blue-haired Albino and shows them the Teal Star Amulet. "We better get out of her before she realizes and comes after us!"

The illusion revealed

The group return to the speeder and find that the Pink-haired Albino has vanished. Jumping in the speeder they head back to Outpost 18. Halfway there Malbar spots a Gloom fighter diving down and coming after them, blasts of energy boring holes in the hard packed dirt beside them! "I'm afraid the speeder just can't outrun a fighter." say ED-O4.

the chase!

"We can if I can just jury rig this engine!" yells Gore over the whine of the speeder. "Hang-on!"
With a sudden burst of amazing speed the group leaves the Gloom fighter in a wake of sandy dust!

Arriving back at Outpost 18, the group heads to the landing zone. They load the speeder back onto their ship the "Canary" and prepare to leave Saturgalia behind.

She may not look like much...

Just as the Canary leaves orbit a squad of six Gloom fighters close in for the kill! "Can we out fight them?" asks Avangaline.
"No, but I can out fly them any day!" says Gore.

Gloom Attacks!

The Gloom fighters pursue the Canary into space and inflict serious damage, the group realizes they might not make it unless a miracle happens. "Head for the asteroid field, I have an idea!" says Avangaline as she heads towards the airlock. "What are you going to do?" asks Malbar.
"Just watch." smiles the young Star Sailor.

Location:

Yellow Shift - Quadros Sector - Saturgalia Asteroid Field - Vector 11/20

Gore redirects all power to the shields and flies directly into the asteroid field with the Gloom gaining on them. Emerging from the airlock, the transformed Avangeline swirls her star wand, waits until the Gloom Fighters are within short range and cries out, "Raging Sea Tsunami!"

Raging Sea Tsunami!!

The wave of starlight energy ripples out and throws asteroids into the path of the pursuing Gloom fighters destroying them in a spectacular explosion.

The Canary emerges from the asteroid field and sets course for the outlaw hideout known as "Cleopatra Station".
