Starfinder First Session Recap

 The party consisted of :

Gunk, Goblin, Soldier
Thwack, Kobold, Barbarian
T'xtl, Hostless Fungal Entu Colony, Mystic
Gamma-6, Android, Witchwarper
Spiri, Lashunta, Envoy (currently not being used as she is my character)

Caz, the skittermander, contacted the party and introduced Gamma-6 to the group. T'xtl and Spiri were both experiencing headaches due to a recurring telepathic signal every 24 hours 40 minutes, which upon investigation turned out to be the rotation of the planet Akiton. The party was offered a fee of 500 credits to investigate the phenomenon.

On the way to Akiton the Rock Hopper ship began experiencing random issues such as doors opening and closing on their own, laughter, and display screens randomly going blank indicative of a gremlin on board the ship.

The ship arrived at Akiton near Maro and noted a dust cloud to the west of the city. The dust cloud turned out to be a pair of Shobhad prisoners on a modified enercycle being pursued by gang members in an urban cruiser, an enercycle, and a motorized kit (turbo glider). 

The starship suddenly lost power and crashed directly in front of the pursuants. The PCs defeated the gang members and rescued the two prisoners.

The Shobhad led the PCs to their Sietch which was a cave network. They were led by a scret path up to the cave entrance (9) where they fought two Khefaks. The Shobhad showed the PCs a button which would trigger the explosives in the entrance to the cave. They led them to room 8 where they could rest and get supplies. Room 7 was located up a chimney and stored the weapons. Room 8 was shrine to Akiton. These Shobhad worship Akiton itself. The red crystal Tarstarkas was stolen from the shrine by the gang and taken to a secret research base of contemplatives. The base is built along the edge of the canyon. The Shobhad warned the party not to go down the stairs.

The Shobhad put on equipment and weapons with the following stats:

The PCs and the Shobhad returned to the ship and discovered that it had somehow been repaired. There was also an alien Glorp cat on board. The Shobhad led the PCs to the secret base. Just as they arrived, what appeared to be a small hill opened up like an iris, revealing a huge parabolic emitter. The emitter let out a massive blast of energy into space, and T'xtl was rendered unconscious.

Starfinder Game

 A half human half jellyfish abberation known as the Broker is an information broker and is constructing an AI system that requires an enormous amount of power. He is experimenting with extracting the life force of a planet to provide power for his Data Centers which are located in the Diaspora.

The Broker has contracted with a group of contemplatives to research this on the planet Akiton. The Contemplatives had discovered that a holy artefact of the Shobhad-neh allows them to commune with the planet Akiton. The Contemplatives enlist a gang to steal the artefact and take Shobhad-neh captives in order to learn how to use it. They have an underground complex located in the canyon to the west of Maro.

 As the life force begins being extracted from Akiton it begins emitting a telepathic blast that can by all telepaths within several AU's of the planet Akiton.

Any telepath within several orbital radii of Akiton begins having headaches every day. After a while they may notice that they are occurring every a little later every day and in fact they occur every 24 hrs 40 mins which should be a clue that they are coming from Akiton. If that doesn't give it away.

The first part will be to figure out where the signal is coming from and how to defend against it. Give the party some latitude to figure out how to shield against it. If they come up with something reasonable and have a good roll let it work.

There will be a gremlin on board the space ship making it "haunted."
