Season 1

Eps 1: Players are browncoats going in to attack an Alliance base run by the Crooked 38th. After being shot down, they climb to the base, break into a hanger, and steal a ship. Feeling disrespected and used, they desert the browncoats to make their own way in the Black.

Eps 2: Whitefall is being blocked by the Alliance. Jurgen knows of a smuggling ship that was blown up. The Lady Luck slips in, salvages what they can, and skeedaddles without the Alliance being any wiser.

Eps 3: Hired by Quon Choi to steal Babe Ruth's baseball cap from Templeton Colt Steele during the evacuation of New Moscow. They break into his house to find everything already gone, hack his computer to find the transport ship it's all on, and then bluff their way claiming to be sent by Colt to get the hat.

Eps 4: Players get to the Red Sky Casino for some R&R. Chaos ensues. Dr Arbor eventually wins the Ruby Slippers and hands them over to Quon Choi. Nym meets Asante Okoro. Eight Eyes is killed by a sniper.

Season 2

Eps 1: Fat Al calls in a favor from Jurgen. They go to Arvald's Helm, an industrial moon of Daedelus, and break-in to the offices of Mercado Import Export to wipe the computer system (unknown to the PCs is that Mercado is the middle man that hired the assassin to kill Eight Eyes). They find Mercado dead, steal some money, and wipe the computers. Dr Day opens a erectile dysfunction clinic with Nym as a naughty nurse. They steal money from Mercado which Al knows about.

Eps 2: Jurgen's buddy ? the mechanic is in trouble and needs an evac from Shadow. Buddy unfortunately poked his nose into the database of an Alliance ship he was working on . On arrival, Nym recognizes the planet which causes a brain meltdown. Newly unlocked telekinetic powers nearly rip the Lady Luck apart. They go to an old swamp poker cabin where Jurgen and Buddy used to hang out. Jurgen is not there, but he's left a lead to a tiki bar where his girlfriend works. While there, mysterious Blue Hand men arrive. Nym flashes back to remembering them as well and knows they are bad. They barely escape the cabin with their lives. At the tiki bar, they find Jurgen, but the Blue Hands also arrive. They defeat these mysterious men.

Eps 3: With the Lady Luck impounded and under alliance guard, they have no way off planet (they maybe hacked the docking computers to say it is some other ship in impound maybe?). Nym is remembering that she and others went to school here. They fly across planet to that school. The school has obviously not been inhabited in many years, was the sign of fighting, and the Alliance has even left booby traps behind. Alliance soldiers arrive, but the boobytraps are turned against them. Through investigations and Nym starting to remember, they learn that this was a school for children that had powers like Nym. The assistant principal ? sold out the school to the Alliance who came and took the kids, not without a fight. The leader of the school (Celeste?) left a message that only a student could unlock. She explains that she managed to flee with one or two of the children to ???.

Eps 4:

Thoughts are that they learn more about Celeste that can tell them the other kids are turned into weapons by the Alliance and are being used in the final battle on Hera to defeat the Browncoats.
