The Hard-Luck was an apt name for the ship, for its crew it had bought nothing but trouble. With Captain Gregorious Fhrumpinhime at the helm it had made barely enough creds to keep the crew paid and the hutt debt collectors from the hatch. Then he had died leaving the crew stranded on Tatooine with little choice but to try to keep the creds flowing to service the exorbitant debt thrust upon the crew.
Taking up what seemed to be a "legit" cargo run for the huts the remaining crew soon found them selves collecting stolen supplies from the an impounded transport docked at docking bay 94. This was a success and soon found the crew on it's way to the Corellian system. Only to be ambushed in by pirates collecting supplies for the rebellion. One of which had snuck on board in the guise of a passenger. Some sweet flying by Zenna and excellent gunnery by the rest of the crew you were able to survive the encounter only needing minor repairs. so you returned to Tatooine where a new crew member a Jawa came aboard after you saved him from the persecution by imperial soldiers. He was able to fix the ship and you successfully made the trip to Corillian space.
But this was not the end of it. For upon arriving in at the massive CenterPoint space station around which the twin planets Talus and Tralus orbited, you found yourselves boarded by the station security forces, lead by a special agent of the empire. They searched your ship high and low for contraband which they were sure was there, but were unable to find, thanks to the hiding skills of your Ewokian crew member.
Following this rude welcome, and some continued snooping by the crew you soon found that the whole run had been a setup to snare some unlucky smugglers. You... But backed into a corner between a Hutt and imperial jail you try to make the best of a bad situation. First opening the cargo you find a cache of illegal weapons. Making a plan you all decided to try a double cross on the contact that was selling you out.
The meet was organised for an abandoned factory on Talus. Landing the Hard-luck in a un-used warehouse a few blocks away the crew loads up the grav-sled piloted by X2 and head to the agreed meeting place. This is where it all went south. The meeting started as planned Nilo was at the abandoned factory, but he came with a whole squad of storm troopers ready to rumble.
Jett wasn't going down easy and soon an epic blaster battle ensued. Zenna went down to the blaster fire, Hex followed soon after. With 2 crew members down the rest of you decided to cut and run. Piling onto the grav-sled you all made a break for the Hard-luck. As you approach the abandoned warehouse where you have hidden the ship you see an imperial transport has landed next to the warehouse and already the stormtroopers are swarming over your ship, which is surely soon to be impounded. The bantha fodder must have been tracking the ship from the beginning! Blasted imperial scum!
It was then with no pilot or mechanic the decision just to run was made. Through the factory district you fled upon the grav-sled evading the troopers looking for you. It was pure chance that you came upon a heavily damaged storage tank in which you are able to hide for the moment to regroup and decide what is next.
