I will try to get the first IC post up within a few days.<br/><br/>As a note, because I have found that things can drag/die if the game starts on an introduction/planning phase, I am going to start when the group has landed on the destination moon.  If players want to develop any shared backstories for their characters please do.  The ship will be in Drift space for 6 days, so if people want to sort out any interactions that occurred they can, but it can also be assumed everyone was just busy.  That said a quick bit about what the other characters know about yours as part of your first IC post would make sense.  If you want your character to do any preparation or planning before leaving for your destination let me know in OOC.<br/><br/>I have provided a quick overview below of some information you would have.  If there is any other information you think your character would request, or if you want to make any rolls related to the information below (all provided information assumes no rolls needed) you are certainly welcome to do so.  This will mostly be handled OOC and would take place (generally) before you leave Absalom Station.<br/><br/>If you make a roll please use the dicebot on this site, if you click on<strong>View Your Rolls</strong>after it will take you to a spot where you can copy and paste a URL link for the roll.  Thanks!<br/><br/><br/><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 14pt;"><strong>Information</strong></span><br/><br/>There isn't much to determine from the images that your benefactor has provided.  It is clear that there is some activity around the hulk, but no evidence of precisely who or what.  The hulk is on a barren moon with no atmosphere and no obvious life.  The surface is comprised of dust and rocks.  It has low gravity.  The freighter captain wants to drop the team off some distance from the ship, maybe 6 or 8 hours walk, to avoid risking her ship.  She has offered space suits if anyone has no armour.<br/><br/>The system seems to be uncharted, it has a long and nonsensical name that identifies the star but there is no real data on the system itself that is freely available other than what your benefactor gave you.  The data provided from your benefactor shows one major gas giant, around which your target moon orbits, that has a dense system of moons.  There are hundreds if not thousands of moons in orbit of the gas giant, many in erratic orbits, and collisions between them are frequent.  The moon that you are targeting is in a fairly stable orbit, and is the second largest moon in orbit.  It seems able to weather most impacts.  The system also has a pair of rocky planets, one within the orbit of the gas giant, one outside.  The inner planet seems barren and borderline molten.  The outer planet has a thick atmosphere that from the provided data seems to be toxic if not caustic.<br/><br/>The benefactor has provided a name, Lieutenant Westlake, for whose belongings you are to recover.  A simple search reveals nothing about the name.<br/><br/>The ship, the Rostland, is an Atech Immortal and therefore a rather significant warship.  There are a few old news articles about its loss in the war and a list of casualties.  It was involved in a battle with the Swarm and, after significant damage in a losing battle, stayed behind as rearguard to allow a number of other ships to escape.  The crew received several honours as a result.  A Lieutenant Rosaline Westlake is listed among the casualties.<br/><br/>The crew of the freighter that is delivering you to the planet is, like your own characters, mercenaries.  They seem to know even less than your characters and have been simply hired to drop you off then wait for you to deliver the belongings. There are six crew on the ship as well as yourself.  The Captain is a Lashunta by the name of Dexia.  She has requested that you stay in the cargo hold, your quarters, the mess hall, or the recreation area and out of any important area such as the bridge and rec room.  The ship is in pristine condition and the crew seem both competent and happy.  The exact specifications of the ship are not public, but even the most technologically inept can tell that the ship has massively overpowered engines.
