Turn 1:
A reclusive club reserved for the sector's wealthiest and most powerful sentients, the Nebula Society offers a few fantastic opportunities for closed-door deals affecting trillions. Mostly it’s bragging and spending a frontier world’s GDP on drinks, though. Each player may purchase an Elite Platinum Advantage Plus membership for 300 credits to receive the title “Squanderer of Fortunes.” Other opportunities to earn titles will be announced privately as conditions are met. Marketplace: Angrain: 4 units available, 30 credits each (buy/sell) Coaxium: 15 units, 5 credits Magnite: 7 units, 20 credits Tibanna: 3 units, 12 credits Void Pearl: 8 units, 6 credits 37 buys 1 Angrain for 30 credits.
Dashed hyperlanes active: none
Awaiting orders from:
House Nebulon will sell 22 Coaxium, 7 Magnite, and 13 Tibanna for a total of 373.
200 will go the mercenaries - we pay our debts!
And with the other 173 and 7 credits we will purchase 6 Angrain.
{Orders submitted}
Debt-collecting Onagers of questionable legality? I gotta get me one of those.

Bertie Wooster sells 1 void pearl (5 credits.)
Numerous salvage outfits seeking the Golden Nexu have caused increased demand for void pearl.

The Treasure of the Golden Nexu
Every adventurous youngling knows of the Golden Nexu: a supermassive luxury cruise ship, traveling across the sector before vanishing one day without a trace. A decades-cold trail has suddenly grown hot with documents discovered behind a painting at the Grand Library of Sutris. One, an itinerary of the final cruise listing previously unknown destinations; the other, a manifest listing an astonishing fortune in the ship’s vault.
Find the Golden Nexu by searching deep space in as many systems as possible.
Search deep space in a system by moving a large ship there or spending Void Pearl.
Deploy GF to board and explore the massive vessel.
Bonus objective: find Bertie Wooster's secret lair and bring him to justice -- or perhaps hire him.

Turn 20 hyperpings: Abruga, Dultis, Mirlos, Stellis, Sutris, Timne, Vestra, Vestra I, Vovan, DS Abruga, DS Evryd, DS Nept, DS Pellis.
Over Vovan, a 285 point Pirate fleet ambushes the 256 point Crimsons planetary defense force. 4 newly stolen squadrons of E-wings are remotely piloted on collision courses with key systems of the ISD Vainglorious, crippling it as the pirate fleet moves in for a boarding action...
The ISD Vainglorious is now missing in action.
The surviving Crimsons must retreat; Vovan's orbital cultivation domes are stripped bare. Numerous data breaches occur from previously secure terminals. All in all, it's a good day to be a pirate.
No other combat has occurred.

@LTD A tempting proposition. Mine seems like he may be rather vengefully annoyed to be reunited, so I shall have to consider it carefully.
@GhostofNobodyInParticular should we reunite them for humorous reasons?
@GhostofNobodyInParticular Yep, I messed up on that fight. ...The crews of both ships recover from rare hallucinogens that can occur naturally in inert Cyrac'ii water. Shrugging off their strange nightmares, they man their stations and continue their courses.
@LTD We probably found his nemesis.
Yes indeed. Mutual evacuation and occupation on turn 20.
We found nothing but a homicidal maniac in search of a nemesis.
What did you discover?
@LTD will you be ready to leave Stellis on turn 20? Did you get what you came for?
@The Jabbawookiee the Raider over Cyrac was the racer. Isn't it supposed to have immunity until it reaches home?
Turn 18 hyperpings: Cyrac, Evryd, Gedrova, Omris, Maelos, Miino, Pellis, DS Cyrac, DS Miino.
A 298 point pirate fleet (Bertie Wooster) engages a 154 point Federation force over Omris (idjmv.) Darting out from behind a moon, the pirates set 2 squadrons of Vulture Droids on a fatal collision course with the Federation fleet. Caught by surprise, the Federation guns down a Nebulon-B Escort Frigate but loses a Quasar-1 and 2 Gozanti Cruisers; the survivors must retreat.
A successful raid on surface facilities leads to 2 Federation GF and 1 pirate GF as casualties.
A 110 point Crimsons fleet (37 in Red) does not engage a 44 point Guardian fleet (GNIPs) over Cyrac. A perfect torpedo hit does not scar the ISD Bloodshine; several turbolaser hits do not obliterate the Guardian Raider. Turns out it was all just a dream.

Oh ho! It is I, the Dread Pirate Rha'birtz!
Is that a Raider? A Pelta? A Nebulon-B? Well, I think they should belong to me!
Factions may matter to the likes of you, But not to me and my hearty crew.
Vultures, ARCs, or an X-Wing ball,
The King of Coins will take them all.
On the skies of the Omris Sector I soar,
I rob from the rich and give myself more.
House Nebulon is interested to hear about the Pirate problems erupting around the world of Regret. Do the Guardians have any particular ideas on where this threat has originated? Can we cooperate to eliminate this lawless element?
House Nebulon will also bid 200 credits for the Mercenary forces.
The Guardians will bid 190 credits.
Turn 17 hyperpings: DS Hivva, Regret, Cyrac, Maelos, Eden, Nept.
A 315 point pirate fleet engages a 183 point Guardian force over Regret. Fortune does not smile upon the pirates, and they lose a Delta-7B squadron and a scarred GR75, with a VSD2 becoming scarred. A Guardian VSD1 is scarred. The pirates must retreat.
