Five Parsecs From Home - Starfire Scoudrels

 The crew of the Starfire Scoundrels has been finalized.

Captain's story here 

The Starfire Scoundrels' Origin

In the bustling starport of Nexus-9, a place known for its seedy bars and shady deals, fate brought together a group of unlikely allies. It all started in a dimly lit tavern called The Rusty Wrench, where Captain Aria "Starfire" Voss was nursing a drink after a particularly grueling job.

Elias "Tech" Thorne, a wealthy merchant's son turned tech-savvy troubleshooter, had just finished upgrading the emergency jump drives on a retired troop transport he had found in a scrapyard. Spotting Aria (who he had a bit of a crush on), he approached her with an offer she couldn't refuse—a ship, fully restored and ready for action. Aria accepted the gift, and the Starlight Vanguard became their new home.

Meanwhile, Kai "Ghost" Tanaka, a former subjugated human turned special agent, was in the same bar, gathering intelligence for his latest mission. Her keen eyes noticed the exchange between Aria and Elias, and she sensed an opportunity to join a crew that could help her in his quest for survival and justice.

At another table, Lyra "Hex" Tanis, a human genetic uplift with obvious cybernetic enhancements and a penchant for mercenary work, was negotiating a contract. Her enhanced abilities and alien upbringing made her a formidable ally. Intrigued by the dynamic duo of Aria and Elias, she decided to join their crew, seeking new challenges and a chance to prove herself.

Rax "Wrench" Thal, a tall, lean xenomorph engineer from Xalor Prime, was tinkering with a malfunctioning droid in the corner of the bar. His skills in fixing things and his desire for freedom led him to approach the group, offering his expertise in exchange for a place on their ship.

Finally, Jaxara "Jax" Morgan, a savvy hacker raised on a research outpost, was in the bar's back room, hacking into a local network. Her curiosity and drive for discovery brought her to the attention of the newly formed crew. Recognizing her talents, Aria invited her to join their ranks.

And so, in the heart of Nexus-9, the Starfire Scoundrels were born. United by their diverse backgrounds and shared motivations, they set off on a journey across the stars, ready to face whatever challenges the galaxy had in store for them.

Ship Name: The Starlight Vanguard

The Starlight Vanguard is a retired troop transport vessel, once a proud member of the Galactic Navy's fleet. It served valiantly in numerous campaigns, ferrying soldiers and supplies across war-torn sectors. After decades of service, the ship was decommissioned and left to gather dust in a scrapyard on the outskirts of a bustling spaceport.
