Empire's Edge - Ep. 04: Storm on The Way
Returning to Bothawui, the droid Elo and renegade slicer Beegax Botano smuggled their way onto a doonium ore facility down on the planet. Disguising themselves as common transporters, they attempted to access a Bothan Spy Net intelligence drop, hidden in plain sight. After creating a convincing distraction, Beegax had seconds to slice his way into the network and uncover the whereabouts of Gir Tu’Tey, a young Bothan spy and son of Elo’s former master. Successfully disrupting the Bothan Spy Net security, Beegax uncovered Gir’s last know location somewhere in the Socorro system, far out in the lawless reaches of the Outer Rim. With local hyper lane traffic being closely monitored and time in short supply, Elo and Beegax must try and escape Bothawui undiscovered and undetected.   For more info and scheduling @RespectTheCrit GM - Ian Duncan @iduncs Elo - Jamie Lee-Bonés @jamielee.bones Beegax Botano - Alex Herrera @aeherrera   Whatever the system, whether it's a miss or a hit, you always gotta respect the crit!   Original music provided with license or permissions by: "Solo Fan Made" & "Battle on Crait" - Luis Humanoide  "Star Wars Epic Cover I" - Parademics "Space Wars Underscore" - Graham Plowman & Audiojungle "Nostromo" - TableTop Audio Music from Filmmusic.io "Serpentine Trek" by Kevin MacLeod License: CC BY  "Showdown" by Kevin MacLeod License: CC BY  "On The Shore" by Kevin MacLeod License: CC BY  "Prelude and Action" by Kevin MacLeod License: CC BY "Black Vortex" by Kevin MacLeod License: CC BY

Empire's Edge - Ep. 09: The Placebo Job
After a tense meeting with the human Socorron, Vers, Elo and Beegax agree to help her rescue a friend from the nearby system of Geonosis.  In exchange, their new ally agrees to assist them with a dubious deed for the Rodian, Placeebo, whose connections to Socorro’s underworld offers the promise of credits and commission. However these opportunities come with strings, tied to the fat fingers of a fearsome Hutt gangster, Zalto.  But can Beegax and Elo afford to pass up the chance to impress the influential?  The aforementioned appointment far on the outskirts of the city, could be more than the fringers bargained for, and Elo and Beegax may learn the full price of a favor on the black sands of Socorro.   For more info and scheduling @RespectTheCrit GM - Ian Duncan @iduncs Elo - Jamie Lee-Bonés @jamielee.bones Beegax Botano - Alex Herrera @aeherrera   Whatever the system, whether it's a miss or a hit, you always gotta respect the crit!   Original music provided with license or permissions by: "Solo Fan Made" "Millennium Falcon Chase" - Luis Humanoide  "Star Wars Epic Cover I" - Parademics "The Force Awakens Soundtrack Cover" - William Maytook "Escape Through the Asteroids" & "Rebel Assault" - Graham Plowman & Audiojungle "Arabesque" - Tabletop Audio Some sounds from - Syrinscape Music from Filmmusic.io "Tabuk" by Kevin MacLeod License: CC BY   "Long Note Two" by Kevin MacLeod License: CC BY  "Long Note Three" by Kevin MacLeod License: CC BY  "Grave Blow" by Kevin MacLeod License: CC BY "Prelude and Action" by Kevin MacLeod License: CC BY "Malicious" by Kevin MacLeod License: CC BY "Desert" by Alexander Nakarada License: CC BY "Action Strike" by Rafael Krux License: CC BY

After stealing from a group of Nikto gangsters Elo, Beegax and Verse fled into the night, only to be chased across the sands.  Their plans of escape where further flurried by one of Socorro’s harrowing hazards, a deadly sandstorm!  Outgunned and soon to be overrun, Beegax steered directly into the wind and sand, in an attempt to lose their pursuers, only to have the gangster’s starship join the chase.  A rebooted but severally injured Elo rushed to assist in their evasion, but Socorro’s storm devoured all and our fleeing fringers were sucked down through the swift sands into the darkness below.   For more info and scheduling @RespectTheCrit GM - Ian Duncan @iduncs Elo - Jamie Lee-Bonés @jamielee.bones Beegax Botano - Alex Herrera @aeherrera   Whatever the system, whether it's a miss or a hit, you always gotta respect the crit!   Original music provided with license or permissions by: "Solo Fan Made" - Luis Humanoide  "Star Wars Epic Cover I" - Parademics "The Way of Light" - William Maytook "Space Wars Underscore" - Graham Plowman & Audiojungle "The Mandalorian Suite Epic Orchestral Mix" -  Samuel Kim "Cyberpunk Bar" - Tabletop Audio Some sounds from - Syrinscape Music from Filmmusic.io "Expeditionary" by Kevin MacLeod License: CC BY   "Long Note Two" by Kevin MacLeod License: CC BY  "Lotus" by Kevin MacLeod License: CC BY  "Master Disorder" by Kevin MacLeod License: CC BY "Stay the Course" by Kevin MacLeod License: CC BY "Sandstorm" by Alexander Nakarada License: CC BY "Ignition" by Alexander Nakarada License: CC BY

Dragging themselves out of the Socorran Badlands, Beegax, Elo and Verse returned to their ship, only to find the fractured freighter grounded with gravity locks.  More complications arose when they discover the body of the Black Sun bounty hunter was also missing, stolen by the crime lords of Socorro, who hope to extort the fringers into assassinating a Hutt rival.  While the intrepid crew try to negotiate for favor in Socorro’s criminal underworld, the clock ticks down on Verse’s rescue mission to the war zone of Geonosis.  Tensions run high, with questions unanswered, and danger begins to surround Elo and Beegax, leaving little room to escape.   For more info and scheduling @RespectTheCrit GM - Ian Duncan @iduncs Elo - Jamie Lee-Bonés @jamielee.bones Beegax Botano - Alex Herrera @aeherrera   Whatever the system, whether it's a miss or a hit, you always gotta respect the crit!   Original music provided with license or permissions by: "Solo Fan Made" "Battle on Crait" & "Millennium Falcon Chase" - Luis Humanoide  "Star Wars Epic Cover I" - Parademics Some sounds from - Syrinscape Music from Filmmusic.io "Desert City" by Kevin MacLeod License: CC BY   "Mystery Bazaar" by Kevin MacLeod License: CC BY "Long Note Two" by Kevin MacLeod License: CC BY "Ominous" by Kevin MacLeod License: CC BY "Malicious" by Kevin MacLeod License: CC BY "Stay the Course" by Kevin MacLeod License: CC BY "Sandstorm" by Alexander Nakarada License: CC BY  "Futuristic" by Alexander Nakarada License: CC BY  "Gunslinger" by Alexander Nakarada License: CC BY  "Desert Night" by Sascha Ende License: CC BY "Desert Nomads" by Rafael Krux License: CC BY Additional music by Pro Scores from Video Copilot

Beegax & Ello, along with their new allies, Verse & Kreed, planned a risky mission to rescue Verse's comrade, hiding out on an Imperial outpost in an occupied, war torn system.  While infiltrating the Empire’s marshaling station near the planet Geoniss, the crew made contact with Verse’s desperate friend, a pregnant Culisetto anxious to get her children smuggled to safety. With Beegax’s swift slicing & Ello’s medical expertise the crew were able to implant the young Culisetto eggs in Beegax’s own body & transport them safely to the frontier planet of Tatooine.  Now having made good on their bargain with Verse, the enterprising adventurers hope to enlist the helpful human and gregarious gran as full fledged members of the crew of The Way.   For more info and scheduling follow @RespectTheCrit GM - Ian Duncan @iduncs Elo - Jamie Lee-Bonés @jamielee.bones Beegax Botano - Alex Herrera @aeherrera   Whatever the system, whether it's a miss or a hit, you always gotta respect the crit!   Original music provided with license or permissions by: "Solo Fan Made" - Luis Humanoide  "Star Wars Epic Cover I" - Parademics "Space Wars Underscore" "Escape Through the Asteroid Field" & "Rebel Assault" - Graham Plowman & Audiojungle "Imperial March & Battle of the Heroes" -  Samuel Kim Music from Filmmusic.io "Tempting Secrets" by Kevin MacLeod License: CC BY   "Stay the Course" by Kevin MacLeod License: CC BY "Touching Moments One Pulse" by Kevin MacLeod License: CC BY "Long Note One" by Kevin MacLeod License: CC BY "Long Note Three" by Kevin MacLeod License: CC BY "Black Vortex" by Kevin MacLeod License: CC BY   "Sandstorm" by Alexander Nakarada License: CC BY   "Vopna" by Alexander Nakarada License: CC BY "Dark Forces" by Sascha Ende License: CC BY "Desert Night" by Sascha Ende License: CC BY "Alien Invasion" by Rafael Krux License: CC BY "Sings In The Fields" by Rafael Krux License: CC BY

The renegade slicer, Beegax Botano, and the modified medical droid, Elo, attempted a high speed escape from Imperial troopers, targeting Beegax’s specialized slicing computer. With Elo’s glitches getting worse, and their contacts unable to help them, the fearless fingers took a risky gambit and engaged their attackers head on.  With the assist of some mysterious yet timely strangers, the fringers brought down the stormtrooper shuttle.  But just when they thought they’d escape danger, Beegax and Elo were abducted by the unknown vigilantes and taken without explanation to a location unknown.   For more info and scheduling follow @RespectTheCrit GM - Ian Duncan @iduncs Elo - Jamie Lee-Bonés @jamielee.bones Beegax Botano - Alex Herrera @aeherrera   Whatever the system, whether it's a miss or a hit, you always gotta respect the crit!   Original music provided with license or permissions by: "Solo Fan Made" & "Millennium Falcon Chase" - Luis Humanoide  "Star Wars Epic Cover I" - Parademics "Space Wars Underscore" & "Rebel Assault" - Graham Plowman & Audiojungle "Sith Symphony - Ahsoka & Vader" & "Imperial March Heroic" - Lucas King "Swamp Planet" & "Abandoned Windmill" by Tabletop Audio Music from Filmmusic.io "Stay the Course" by Kevin MacLeod License: CC BY "Showdown" by Kevin MacLeod License: CC BY "Past the Edge" by Kevin MacLeod License: CC BY "Grave Blow" by Kevin MacLeod License: CC BY "Futuristic" by Alexander Nakarada License: CC BY "Chase" by Alexander Nakarada License: CC BY "Alien Invasion" by Rafael Krux License: CC BY Additional music by Pro Scores from Video Copilot

Empire's Edge - Ep. 18: High Rise Hutt
While avoiding the Empire presence on Socorro, Elo and Beegax took the opportunity to re-equip and rearm themselves, and came away with a rare Jedi weapon from a less than reputable source.  After recouping their losses, the fringers make their way to the extravagant casino at the edge of the city, its construction rising to rival the towers of Soco-Jaal spaceport. It is there they are to meet Zalto the Hutt, a notorious gangster and target of an assassination plot engineered by the crime lords of Socorro.  Elo and Beegax must weigh their option carefully, which side of this rivalry will they fall on, what are they willing to risk, and how will they escape the system alive?   For more info and scheduling follow @RespectTheCrit GM - Ian Duncan @iduncs Elo - Jamie Lee-Bonés @jamielee.bones Beegax Botano - Alex Herrera @aeherrera   Whatever the system, whether it's a miss or a hit, you always gotta respect the crit!   Original music provided with license or permissions by: "Solo Fan Made" - Luis Humanoide  "Star Wars Epic Cover I" - Parademics "Imperial March Heroic" - Lucas King "The Way of Light" - William Maytook "Cyberpunk Bar" by Tabletop Audio Music from Filmmusic.io "Lotus" by Kevin MacLeod License: CC BY "Secret of Tiki Island" by Kevin MacLeod License: CC BY "Desert City" by Kevin MacLeod License: CC BY "Past the Edge" by Kevin MacLeod License: CC BY "Master Disorder" by Kevin MacLeod License: CC BY "Ominous" by Kevin MacLeod License: CC BY "Jalandhar" by Kevin MacLeod License: CC BY "Gunslinger" by Alexander Nakarada License: CC BY "Sandstorm" by Alexander Nakarada License: CC BY "Vopna" by Alexander Nakarada License: CC BY "Ice and Snow" by Rafael Krux License: CC BY "Breaking News 5" by Sascha Ende License: CC BY "Desert Night" by Sascha Ende License: CC BY
