In Between Here & There - Cities Without Number, Stars Without Number, & Trey Causey's Strange Stars Rpg - Fill Up By Joseph Mohr

 "The PC's space hauler needs a bit of a fuel up & overhaul. So after tracking down & almost getting thier faces melted off the party heads to a nice simple fuel depot. The party came across a gas giant that was wracked in storms and that's when the party came across the  Station GH-34I. "



"Fortunately, however, there are sometimes places such as Station GH-34I. This solitary station floats in a system in the Sonora sector waiting for ships that need refueling. Like days in the past this is a full service station. They not only refuel the ship but wipe the windows and check under the hood. All for 20% less that the going rate for fuel in the sector." This session picks right up where we last left off last session here. This session was based on Fill Up By Joseph Mohr. Which is actually really solidly done and of course Trey Causey's Strange Stars OSR Rule Book


 Station GH-34I proved to be far more then the players were expecting! The station is a free floating station in the middle of no where squared. The station is run by aliens & they're really interesting; "GH-34I is run by aliens. Specifically it is run by members of the Talamor Consortium. The Talamor are seemingly friendly race of aliens that love to trade. They have a fierce, lizard like, appearance. Despite their appearance they have not been known to have a violent nature." The Talamor Consortium are an ancient human break off colony that were genetically modified to work and live on a super Earth hundreds of years ago. The Constorium have taken to trading and aggresive pack mentalities when it comes to intergalatic trade. They are an up and coming race who are minor players on the intergalatic trade scene;"The Talamor are encountered all over the known galaxy. They are often found flying small traders and merchant ships. They seem to be welcome just about everywhere they.  Despite their friendly nature, and willingness to trade, they do not seem to be above trying to make a profit. They have often been accused of shortchanging customers or pulling a fast one to make a credit."

The GH-341 station features complete tech level 9-13 facilities for ship upgrades, maintence, and dry dock facilities. This also includes a holo and android brothel which the PC's took advantage of. 



The player's PC's started poking around the station and noticed signs for the casino, brothel, hotel, and ship facilities. The PC's wanted the space hauler upgraded and gone over by personel. 
Jerry and the psionist decided to 'keep an eye' on the star hauler. The party spoke with Carthan a Vokun empire representive who was selling some contraband terrraforming equipment. The psionicist reported that a Wanderer who was in deep orbit wanted to trade navigation information for credits.
And here's where the PC's ran into the fact that thier cybersneak detected a contraband cargo being loaded aboard the party's  space hauler by Talamor agents! The PC's confronted the  Talamor representive agent handling thier space hauler and the PC's were brought down too Operations for some face to face time. 
The PC's noticed the captain of the Eagle! A safari ship traveling through system on it's way to pick up a cargo of exotic alien animals for study. We might be able to pick up some work there. 
Our party  faked insult over the illicit cargo being placed on ship & they were able to arrange for medical attention for Jerry our cybersneak. Last adventure he'd been lasered in the back and requires extensive cybernetic reconstruction. This is going to require months of rehab and what not.  The cargo run was settled. 
And we settled on a legit job for the Talamor in exchange for the overhaul. Which we would be inspecting. Along with four extra days of R&R after last session.
