About the Project

I completed a previous project playing the five parsecs Bughunt rules. This time I'm doing the main game using the example campaign as a starting point found in the Bughunt expansion. I'm using starwars as a setting.

After seeing off the local thugs captain Ka was approached by a local merchant who was having problems with some reprogrammed security droids. Instead of guarding his docking bay they have started firing on anyone who comes near. Force few credits ka and the crew head to the bay to "deactivate " the droids.

The old surplus separatist battle droids have reverted to their old programing. Shouting "die jedi" and "Roger Roger" the droids have become a menace to the Friden Hills docks

Splitting into two groups the crew attempt to out flank the droids. Ka struggles to stop weedo once again raising ahead.

The droids follow their defensive programing and seek cover from aflurry of shots and wait for the crew to get closer.

Happy to oblige Morin advances and users his plasma gun to blast the one droid that failed to reach cover in time.

Under fire from up the street and the corner the droids see an easy target as weedo continues to run forward with blasts skipping over his head.

Boguns rattle gun takes down one and weedo shrugs off shots to take down a second. The final droid stunned staggers back from his fallen friends saying "oh ooh"

Roaring a trandoshan challenge Krig tries to get into melee but is cheated by Morins plasma gun as he strikes down the final droid.

With the final dtoud down the merchant could return to his dock and hope his insurance covers the damages. A couple of items in storage damaged in the firefight were gifted to the crew. One was a brace that would allow Bogun to carry his rattle gun easier and a scope for Laras rifle. Very useful for the future. With success protecting the docks another job would come the crews way.

The dusty star port of Fridens Hills serves the outer rim world of Bying Putnik. After unsuccessful looking formwork the crew of the Exuberant Weasel head back to the ship to contemplate their next move.

Lurking around the port are some thugs affiliated with local spice smugglers. Harassing the locals and demanding tribute from any ship crews on their turf. Captain ka won't or can't pay the scum so instead teaches them a lesson I'm manners.

The s umbrella block entry to the docking bay demanding payment

With a nod from her captain Lara takes up position either her marksman rifle

Without warning Weedo sprints forward towards the foe and presenting a juicy target for the thugs

The distraction is all Lara needs to start sniping the enemy.

The rest of the crew advance. Boguns rattle gun fires lots of shots but miss most of what he was aiming at.

Weedos bold advance allows him to out flank the scum whose cover is no longer any use. With his close range hand gun he draws on the foe.

Laras commanding view of the port gives the scum little place to hide.

Sensing a kill Krig charges too close to the final scum who blasts krig off his feet.

Realising the day isn't going well the final scum flees into the shadows leaving the crew to scrape krig up and return to their ship. This was a training scenario designed to get a player used to the combat rules only so Krigs injuries turn out not to be life threatening. The crews actions draw the attention of a local businessman who needs some tough types for a little job.

The unreliable merchant crusier the Exuberant Weasel is captained by Trandoshan Kruger ka. Kruger was raised in Trandoshan traditions until one prey he stalked escaped after killing his brother. Now he travels the outer rim in search of his grey and revenge. His first mate fellow Trandoshan krig joined the crew after his colony world was taken over by the empire. As a petty criminal he didn't get on with the empires rules. He carried a blade he's modified with a shock attachment to stun his prey.

The three human crew consist of Lara an orphan of the clone wars who left her home world seeking adventure. Captain Kruger values her marksman abilities. Morin is an engineer who left his mining world seeking fame. Unfortunately he may end up famous for the wrong reasons. He carries a plasma rifle. Boguns world is a war zone in open rebellion against the empire. He was saved by Lara and is very loyal to the crew for getting him off world and away from the war. He still carries his rattle gun from the conflict.

The final crew member is Weedo the Rodian. He had a military background as a mercenary but was kicked out of his unit for disobeying orders. He can't help but get stuck into the action.

The introductory campaign can be found in the Bughunt expansion which I would recommend. It’s full of great add ons to the base game and worth it for the Bughunt hunt rules alone. I decided to follow the campaign and see how I get on using starwars as my setting. I rolled up a crew by random and looked through my collection to see what matched what I’d rolled up. I also used the random name generator in Bughunt for the ship and world the game starts on. I’ll explain who the crew I randomly rolled up are before embarking on the first scrap.
