GM: Lawrence

We are on a ship to Absalom Station, just coming out of Drift
Doravor Kreel (M. Dwarf):
Asked me to meet him about Starfinder Society
Landing on Absalom Station
Brightly lit station abuzz with activity!
Weapon fire suddenly erupts
Dwarf is killed
On datapad, only my name and description as well as “Chiskiss” and an address
Wardens come and say they recognize the people:
Gangbangers known as Level 21 crew and the Downside Kings
Address on datapad leads to Lorespire Complex
Offered to join SFS, and the first task is to investigate why we were ambushed – coincidence? Or were we targeted
Rumors
A derelict ship Aqueons came with a driftrock in tow, and no crew!
Heard that the crew were either killed to keep a secret, or went mad and walked out the airlock
Two crews claim the rights:
(Astral Extraction – a powerful mining conglomeratge – centered in the Diaspora; recently hired a ship belonging to Hardscrabble Collective
Their public image is good, but they are known to hire criminals etc.
Hardscrabble Collective- the Aqeon; they are a clan of asteroid miners. They count the Armada as a central gathering place. Hire their crew out. Not really a clan, but a coalition of individuals.
They have hired the Level 21 gang to protect their interests
On Level 21 investigating
Stuffer shack encounter didn’t go so well after acosting some homeless patrons
Found a bodega with a fat halfing (Mama Fats) female proprietor that said she will let Jabaksa (Ysoki leader of the level 21 crew) that we are looking for him.
Downside King
Leader: Ferani Nadaz (ferocious woman)
Next morning, message for us at the Moon: 6 pm Bodega
Investigation:
Kings hired to threaten the Collective to hang over Aqueon and Driftrock
Doravor Kreel: Mid-level SFS, took interest in
Focused on mineral prospecting
Native of Diaspora
Ties to dwarves and other miners
Active in challenging corp
Personally invested in Collective
Cousing was part of Collective who died b/c Astral Extraction didn’t pay for safety
Back at Bodega: Ysoki Jabacksa and 2 humans
Jabacksa said Downside Kings aren’t rivals, just on opposite sides of employers right now.
Says Kings hang out at the bar Fusion Queen
Ferani only became leader a few months ago when she killed prior leader
Astral Extraction hires the Downside Kings – doesn’t know why they killed Doroval
Fashion Queen
Take out the bouncers
Loud nightclub inside
Disguised way in and took out 3 guards, one Vesk bodyguard, and Ferani
Datapad shows communique between Astral Extractions and Kings ordering gang to kill Dorvar Kreel as a message to Collective, and to keep SFS from getting too curious about Aqeon.
Return to Chisskiss
He will pass on information and advised us to stay away from Astral Extraction
