FIRST TITLE:

Captain of the ___ (name of heavily modified starship.) It (accomplished difficult feat) in (#) (inappropriate term for time or distance.)

YOUR FIRST MATE IS:

- Lady Parts, a sexy robot

This sleek android can pilot your ship OR heal your wounds during the TRAVEL phase, but not both. Can also fix the ship during the R&R&R phase.

- Chupacabracca, a hairy, walking carpet of a creature

Your furry bud can pilot your ship during the TRAVEL phase. He can either fix the ship during the R&R&R phase OR attack 1 X during the JOB phase.

- Bobo Fled, a talking chimp

Your simian second can pilot your ship during the TRAVEL phase, fix the ship during R&R&R, and reduces Wanted Level rolls by 1 by being erratic and unpredictable.

- Seditious Crim, a winged creature that perches on your shoulder

Reduces Wanted rolls by 2 due to its alert nature.

- Arnaud Reamer, a hologram of your old roommate

Can't physically interact with anything and is damn annoying, but can take an attack meant for you 1X per turn (which passes right through.)

- A mute alien infant with psionic powers

Baby Grogurt can heal you 1X during any phase OR cause an enemy to lose one attack.

Increases Wanted rolls by 2 due to various villains wanting to possess it.

Ruthless Scoundrel

The Terror of ___

The Scourge of ___

ALLIES

Aliies are companions or employers that tag along for one job. Refer to each job. During each phase you can have each additional ally perform one of their abilities once per phase.

ORDER

1. R&R&R Regroup, Refuel, etc.

2. Check Wanted Status

(If you have a Bounty roll 1d6 + Wanted Level. A result of 5+ means bounty hunters or local law enforcement have come for you.) Resolve Wanted Conflict now or make a Wits roll to delay it until after Step 3. If you win the conflict, pay 100 credits X Wanted Level for messy corpse disposal.

3. Get Hired

4. Travel (and Avoid Entanglements)

5. Do the Job

6. Get Back (in One Piece. Evade Pursuit.)

R&R&R

This is where you rest up, lick your wounds, fix your ship, resupply, etc.

WANTED STATUS

1 - Wanted (Alive) for Questioning

2 - Wanted Dead or Alive

3 - Terminate On Sight

BOUNTY increases

- Greednose, a green alien with a large snout who promises to let you live if you pay up front. You can shoot first instead.

SHOOT FIRST: On a successful Wits check, you can make a deal under the table, by shooting from under the table. Instant kill.

AMNESIA FEE: You may instead choose to pay up to your bounty (or 2X if you're at TERMINATE status) to bribe this hunter to go away for a while.

- Baba Fedyaga, a dangerous foe attired in the traditional armor of a warrior culture and feared throughout the galaxy. He can also track a falcon in a cloudy asteroid field.

ARMOR: Damage is halved against this hunter.

WORTH A LOT: If Yolo goes to zero, instead of death, you are encased in carbonaratine and brought as a trophy to Joybahar the Glutt. You better have some friends with a goofy plan of rescuing you.

- # 4I-86U, a murder bot.

KILLSWITCH, ENGAGED: If your status is DEAD or ALIVE, the bot will choose death.

SELF-DESTRUCT: If the bot is destroyed, it gets one free attack afterward that does double damage.

- Dankscar, a large guy with a head wrapped in bandages, armed with a really big weapon. He's not injured. He's just trying to start a fashion trend.

BFG: His attacks do double damage, but attacks once every 2 rounds 

- Stomp Troops, the soldiers of the Galactic Government. These troopers can always reappear because there's an endless supply of them. 

STRENGTH IN NUMBERS: Attacks against them must split damage between 2d4 targets.

NOT AS PRECISE AS YOU WERE TOLD: No matter how many appear, they still only get one total attack roll. Turns out, they're poor marksmen.

- Prittay Shifttay, shapeshifter.

DISGUISE: This hunter surprises you and gets one free surprise attack.

- 

GET HIRED

TRAVEL

Roll to AVOID ENTANGLEMENTS.

DO THE JOB

JOBS

- Playin' It Safe:

The lesser the risk, the smaller the reward.

- This Could Really Help:

You take what you think is an easy job for a lot of money, but things get complicated real quick.

- Statistically Unfavorable:

By choice or by chance, you have to navigate an asteroid field. Watch out for giant star grubs!

- Illicit Cargo:

You have to smuggle some Nyce Spyce, Dream Crystals or maybe some crates of high-powered beam rifles.

- Boost Some Merchandise:

It's not stealing if you don't get caught.

- Provide Some Muscle:

You have to bust some heads that hopefully aren't thicker than your own head.

- Bet With Your Head:

You try your hand at getting a winning hand.

- Aid the Insurgents:

Help the freedom fighters and give them new hope.

- Friends in High Places:

Meet your old pal Lendyu Cashrichian and his cyborg assistant, Lobrow on Bestspin, a swanky casino in the clouds. Can your friend be trusted? No, but he has no love for the Galactic Government. Maybe you can borrow each other's clothes again. You're not wearing any dresses though.

- The Coot, The Kid and Some 'bots:

Oldie One Cootfogie, Lukin Crytalker, O2-DO2 and C-Thru P-On desperately need a ride to Alderong.

- Help Her Rescue Herself:

Princess Lycra Orgasma doubts the worthiness of your vessel.

- Leave the Blaster, Take the Granola:

Somebody needs to be given a third nostril (meaing they normally have only two.) It's not your normal gig, but maybe this person had it coming.

- Escort the Escort: Make sure the highly trained conversationalist Ahorra Saccharine gets safely to and from her meeting with some guy named John. Wait.. Wasn't her last client named John?

- Selling Ice to Snow Patrols:

It's a con job that's a snow job. Just don't blow it. Go to the planet Hoarth and sell a bunch of useless harpoon guns.

- The Furriest Moon:

Help Weekid the Warrior and his tribe of Treewoks shut down the bad guys' planetary defense shield and throw rocks at armor-plated ostritch mechs.

- Off to the Races: Compete in a dangerous, high-speed contest in rickety flying machines. Watch out for child prodigies and creatures that drive with their feet.

- Shoot the Moon (and if you miss, you'll still be among the stars, because you'll be blasted to atoms): Blow up a ginormous orbital battle station?

Sounds like a suicide mission. But who wants to live forever, right? Okay.. you do. You have a dark premonition about this..
