New Story Arc - Avalon - primer and choice options

Hi all ! In preparation for the next game - I am posting a few In character options and primers for the next game. Hopefully to give players and characters some ideas and paths to follow in the upcoming game nights. Most of this information can be treated as In Character info. @ Targatis -- Travel to Avalon System - (things that need to be done) The Fairy Starlight is making preparations to leave the Morblin controlled Targatis construct planet system and head to the Loli-Gothica controlled system of Avalon. If repairs and refit continue well, the ship is nearly at a FTL Jump ready state. Ship interior needs much work still, and cargo boxes abound in the cooridors full of parts and supplies. There have been some NPC crew sign on's and PC crew sign on's. Hopefully working together the Fairy Starlight will be ready for FTL travel soon. @ Targatis -- (things to do) Cargo and merchant transport - If the Fairy Starlight and crew have enough funds - or can contract with someone for transport of goods to the Avalon system. There are more than plenty of opportunities. Many ships have not arrived in system due to nearby hostilities. Business an trade still must operate, and there are numerous groups seeking to contract a ship to transport goods out of the system. To Avalon or other. @ Targatis -- (things to do) Passenger transport - The Fairy Starlight has the opportunity to pick up passengers for transport out of the system if players so feel inclined. The passenger quarters are bare and gutted currently - they could be made ready with minimal comforts if desired. 16 additional passengers could be brought on board. Food supplies will be required however for the trip. In addition Bulk passenger transport could be prepared by readying and adapting functioning cargo modules for bulk passenger transport. 20 modules could be prepared - 80 passengers per module - so approx 1600 bulk passengers with minimum personal goods. Conditions in the modules will be bare-minimum comforts, on near borderline poor. It will be cold and uncomfortable. With rumors of war or hostile forces near Targatis there are more than enough mixed Faction individuals who want to leave the system. Avalon system will not be the perfect place to move to for most of them, but the crew could decide to bulk transport them someplace else also, to another system. Life-support an Food supplies will be required however for the trip. --------------------------- @ Avalon System -- (things to do) ZeroG Racing News Posted on the Avalon GCRS System Networks - The second season of the Avalon System Official Amateur ZeroG Racing Verse Cup will begin in several days!!! The race will be held out-system at Avalon's 3rd moon. Amateur and Beginner New Entry racers are encouraged to sign up. Entry fee registration is 200c The ZeroG course is set to start at one of the systems old ice harvesting orbital stations. Pass through the ice mining debris belt. Then down to the moons surface, with the final stretch returning racers back to the orbital station. Prize winnings will include - Race winner 1st place - 14000c 2nd Place - 8000c 3rd Place - 3000c Typical ZeroG Racing Jumper - Pilot -1 Speed - 2 to 3 Hull - 2 Manuver - 1 Armor - 0 Structural Capacity -10 Price - 12500c @ Avalon System -- (things to do) Fix and Refit the Fairy Starlight - The Fairy Starlight will still need much work. Characters can bypass the more cosmetic refit and repairs, but the interior ( and exterior) of the ship will continue to look quite scabby... and gutted or naked on the inside. Nothing wrong with this. Thats a player character choice of what everyone wishes to do with the ship. @ Avalon System -- (things to do) Bounty Guild Registration - Bounty work requirements- Starships doing Bounty work , must themselves or the individuals aboard register with the local system Hunters Guild. Registration identifies both ship and or individual as a Hunter or Bounty Hunter. And also gives one access to bounties posted via the Hunter Guild network. A monthy fee applies, but this allows characters to access the Bounty Boards for jobs and bounties posted. Those without registration or bounty licenses can still access the Guild bounty boards, for a higher fee, but they are also limited in scope to viewing many bounties. This encourages professional Hunters to take on jobs. Some systems or bounties guilds only post rewards for official registered hunters. Player characters will have to register the Fairy Starlight at the local Hunters Guild. A Hunters Guild docking and exchange platform is located nearby Seiren Station approx 1 hour away via In-System drive. With a major Guild Incarceration Prison Station approx 4 hours away via In-System drive. @ Avalon System -- (things to do) Cargo work. Plenty of opportunities abound for generic cargo and merchant transport work. @ Avalon System -- (things to do) Smuggling and other more seedy work. Avalon is a luxury resort system and planet. As well as has a seedy underground black market for all sorts of dark things.

Just a bump with some in game notes that everyone can consider In game information they have learned. Also in the main game journal section - there is Fairy Starlight entry - which has some fun descriptions of the ship for reference. *** UPDATE note -- @ Targatis -- Travel to Avalon System - (things that need to be done) The most important or immediate issues are damaged or non-functional cargo module bays. About half of the cargo modules need repair or other work and cannot currently be used. However they do not keep the ship from leaving Targatis. It only currently limits cargo capacity. The next immediate issue is two zones of the Fairy Starlight have some very bad exterior hull breaches and hull damage. The forward section of Deck1 looks to have weapons fire damage. 2 direct hits from Beam weapon attack. The mid section of Deck 2 Port side has similar damage. Sealing these areas and doing at least temporary repairs should be a priority. Life-support systems need some attention, as they are functioning only at a minimum currently. Also food reserves and supplies need to be replenished prior to leaving the Targatis system. ****** Anyone loading in early and looking at the Fairy Starlight map will notice a lot of red "X"s and other notes in red. Have no fear ^ ^ I wanted to try and mark areas damaged, or needing repairs an work done. And where the above hull breaches are located. For player reference for in game play. Any locations with BIG BIG "X"s have exterior hull issues, or hull breaches and those areas have Zero atmosphere or are open to space an vacuum or similar problems. While players can enter those areas, one will need an EVA suit or protective suit. Current Docking situation --- Since the ship is sitting in zero gravity outside of the Targatis repair bay stations. ( note - currently the ship is in an Atmosphere, so those bays have low quality but breathable air at the moment. But stepping off the ship is a zero gravity zone, or one will fall to the planet surface. Once the ship leaves the planet, those areas will be open to space and vacuum. And EVA suits will be required to work or access them.

I just realized that this info has not been available to anyone - so posting here - but it is also in the game Journal Handout section.
