Arrival & Ambush
Arriving in Docking Bay 94 at Absalom Station on the shuttle Okimoro
We see a dwarf (our contact Duravor Kreel) waiting for us.
Also seen setting up positions are two different gangs of shady people. Gunfight starts. The two gangs are:
The two groups are attacking each other; we are caught in the middle.
Duravor Kreel is killed.
Aftermath
Duravor has a data pad that has our names and another contact: Chiskisk
The security personnel arrive and, finding we are new to the station and prospective Starfinders, decide we are innocents and directed to the Lorespire Complex to in order connect with the Starfinder society.
Starfinder Spire
We found out Chiskisk is high level Starfinder officer, they meet us in their office.
As potential new Starfinders we are asked to investigate:
- Was Duravor murdered or just collateral damage in a gang-war
- Why were those gangs fighting?
- Were Duravor or the Party the actual targets or unfortunate bystanders?
Investigation Begins
We got set up at Hotel Moons of Sleep.
Some people used social skills to find out about Duravor, companies, and gangs, others used public terminals and news feeds and found

- Jack-It-Off Brothel
- Momma Fats Bodega
- Fusion Queen Nightclub
Thing
- Faction Lowrigger gang
We dip our toes in the seedy side of Absalom Station
There is a neutral area to both gangs (because it is run by a different gang) called The Rig House. This is a commercial area that would fit in in the better part of bad part of any town. The gangs keep it safe because of all of the “legal” money it brings in, but are assuredly taking a protection cut from each of the vendors.
The crew, deciding that both gangs had ties to prostitution, went to a brothel (the Jack-It-Off) in this neutral territory.
| Things We Learn at the Jack-It-Off |
|---|
| The Level 21 Crew are social justice warriors. |
| Level 21 Crew were hired by The Hardscrabble Collective |
| The Downside Kings were hired by Astral Extractions |
| The Downside Kings have a base at the Fusion Queen |
While at the brothel we made some noise about wanting to contact the Level 21 Crew and got a message to meet their leader Jabaxa at Momma Fats on level 21.
Meeting with Level 21 Crew at Momma Fats
We brought a high-quality moon-shine (because we heard that it was their drink of choice).
Met with Jabaxa (their leader) and several gang members.
Since we came in peace and friendship (with a gift) they reflected out attitude and it was a pleasant meeting.
We are now friends with the Level 21 Crew.
| Things we confirmed during the meeting |
|---|
| The were hired by Hardscrabble Collective to provide protection |
| The Downside Kings were hired by Astral Extractions to strong-arm Hardscrabble Collective |
| Level 21 Crew know we are going to try and meet Downside Kings |
| Downside Kings are known to use a nightclub called Fusion Queen |
| Neither we nor Duravor were targets of Level 21 Crew |
| Don't know what Downside Kings were doing in docking docking bay. |
We requested and introduction to Hardscrabble Collective.
Things We Still Don't Know For Sure
Because Duravor has a valid beef with Astral Extractions (cousin) and owned a small stake in Hardscrabble Collective it is possible he was a target of Downside Kings and not an innocent bystander.
What Downside Kings were doing in the docking bay.
Next Steps
Get info from Downside Kings.
- Maybe talk to the guy arrested by security?
- Maybe go to Fusion Queen

Confusion Queen2022-11-16Quick Links
Place
- Fusion Queen Nightclub
Person
The Fusion Queen
At a loss on how to get more information from the Downside Kings we go to their nightclub. We go in hoping for a conversation but expecting and ambush.
The gang has us check our weapons at the door. Amech also checks a (pretending to be shutdown) Kitre-3.
We see the guy who was arrested in Docking Bay 94 drunkenly dancing. After Nill Mosaeall tried to talk to him but was getting drunken gibberish CIOS Voidstar attempts to use magic to determine what was making him so unaware and confused - this starts a brawl. Kitre-3 was able to return our checked weapons. By the time the brawl was finished we had worked our way into the back office and confronted and killed Ferani Nadaz (the Downside Kings Leader) and a powerful Unnamed Vesk Lieutenant.
Where do go from here?
- Interrogate the only living Downside Kings drunk-guy.
- Search the office.
- Hack the Datapad
