The Amber Run is a modified Clone Wars Vintage YT-1300 (enlarged Cargo Hold, Repositioned Bridge and some smugglers holds) owned and operated by Captain Len Temple, the crew includes the co-pilot/gunner Alani Chadori (Twi'lek female) and the droids R3-R5 (R5) and Threkay (a BD-3000).

R3-R5 is a R3 unit that served on the same CR-90 as Cpt. Temple for years, but has bean caught in one too many Hull Breaches and Internal Explosions decades of minor upgrades and modification have bean replaced with original spech parts when repairs have bean made. R5 remembers he used to know more things than he knows now (like how to fly a starfighter, how to work a Capital Bridge, how to gamble or about planetary systems), when not going about his duties he plays Flight Simulators tries to re reprogram himself with planetary data or spends time losing the credits he finds that accidentally left behind past passengers to the ships entertainment computer.
apart from his personality quirks R3-R5 is a fairly standard R3 unit except his Starfighter piloting Firmware has bean exchanged with Space Transports Repair and his head dome has bean replaced with a R5 head unit.
when Len Temple left the Horizon Maru VI his previous captain made a gift of R3-R5 to him.


Threkay is a BD-3000 Luxury Droid recently restored to mint condition after spending years as a waitress droid in a sleazily bar in the outer rim territories, Len Temple won her from the guy that restored her as a project in the same card game he won the Amber Run. she is adapting to life as the Amber Run's Steward well and genuinely enjoys making the passengers and crews trip on the Amber Run as pleasant as possible.

Captain Len Temple
Human, Male

Dex 3D: Blaster 3D+2, Dodge 3D+2
Per: 3D: Gambling 3D+1
Kno 3D: Business 3D+1, Streetwise 3D+1
Str 2D:
Mech 4D: Astrogation 6D, Pilot Capital Ships 5D, Space Transports 4D+2
Tech 3D: Droid Programing 3D+1, Droid Repair 3D+1, Space Transports Repair 3D+1

Born and raised on an outer Core World, after graduating secondary education Len dodged the Imperial Draft by enrolling in the Mercantile Academy, spending two years of study as a Deck Department Cadet he graduated and spent a few months working short contracts on Bulk Freighters as a general hand before signing on to the Horizon Maru VI a CR-90 configured as a Free Trader, Initially as the shuttle co-pilot and assistant navigator, over the next five years he would work his way up to Chief Navigator, Co-Pilot and 2nd Officer. after his five year contract ended he was sure to muster out far from his home sector as the local draft board was now even more interested in a now trained and experienced Capital Ship bridge officer. as a parting gift his old captain gifted Len a R3 Droid that should have bean sent to the recyclers if not for Len's tinkering in his off duty hours.

wile looking for a new ship to sign on to Len supported himself without having to too heavily dip in to his savings he would do the rounds of the local low stakes back room games at the starport he was staying, until one night he got in to a game where the stakes just kept growing, by the end of the night he was down some cash but had walked away with a BD-3000 and a YT-1300, wile the Droid was restored to near mint condition the ship was a different matter, it was questionably space worthy when he tried to offload the ship he couldn't find a buyer as there was a hefty debt attached to the ships title, over the next few weeks he sunk most of his savings in to restoring the ship and servicing the debt, once fixed up he started doing legitimate jobs for the "Colorful Local Business Identity" to pay down the debt wile he tries to find a buyer. and if he's going to be a bit late well his financier is willing to let him ride for a few days if he is willing to be her "Special Friend" in lew of monetary recompance

Alani Chadori
Female, Twi'lek

Dex 3D: Blaster 4D, Dodge 4D, Melee Weapon 3D+1, Melee Parry 3D+1, Brawling Parry 3D+1
Per 4D: Persuasion 4D+2, Bargain 4D+1
Kno 3D: Streetwise 3D+2, Cultures 3D+1
Str 2D: Brawling 2D+2
Mech 2D+1: Starship Gunnery 3D, Space Transports 2D+2
Tech 2D+2: Space Transports Repair 3D

born on Tatooine to a pair of indentured servants she was raised to be a servant and entertainer, as she came of age she entered in to the service as a companion to a series of shady business men and minor gangsters till one ended up defaulting on the contract he held on her and getting himself killed days later, many systems from her family and childhood home and without a situation she started to pick up odd jobs like waitress, lounge singer, dancer, escort, steward and such. without a patron to protect her she was forced to learn to defend herself picking up a bunch of combat skills, though not on par with a bounty hunter they where enough to surprise and diswade a number of unprepared attackers.

after yet another job waiting tables and dancing provocatively in a sleazy bar turned sour she lied to a tramp freighter captain who was making his newly acquired ship spaceworthy to get a job as a gunner and general hand, as the renovations where completed she picked up a bit about starship repair and in her down time practiced tutorials on the ships gunnery station. Captain Temple dosen't seam to mind having an attractive young female who is willing to make herself useful and learn about, especially considering she spends much of her time what most people would conciser half dressed.

The Ex-(?)Girlfriend of Len Temple, they parted ways a few years back on less than amiable terms after he refused to give up his career to run off with her and act as getaway pilot for her bounty hunting operation (the fact she was stealing from Len's wallet to for credits to spend on booze and other men may have had something to do with it as well).
Though successful as a Huntress she ends up spending much of her profits on secure passage for her legitimate captures and hieing smugglers to transport her less than legal captures.
Wile She is highly skilled with Blasters she uses a wide variety of weapons from Grapple Lines and Flame Projectors built in to her armor up to Stun, Gas, Frag or even Anti-Vehicle grenades fired from her CSPL-14. She doesn't like hurting people for no reason, but likes it when people give her a reason to hurt them.

Character Update

Dex 3D: Blaster 4D+1, Dodge 4D+2

Len's player is running out the training time on the first pip of "(A) Droid Engineering" at the moment, that's If I'll stop interrupting his studies with Gunfights and braking out of Gangsters Dungeons. ATM he's got enough Cash to finish the upgrades he's working on for the Amber Run and make this months payment or to pay out his debts in full, I think it's about time I had him Robbed again or have a big ship battle and soak his cash on repairs.

Alani's player wanted to do the Dancing Girl/Marital Artist thing, She's currently putting in a bunch of practice time on Dodge & Blaster and Starship Weapons Repair for when she has the CP to put them up, she also is having a old BX series Commando Droid re-purposed in to a sparing partner, but it's a ways off from being done.

Bean GM'ing this off and on for about seven months now (more off than on since about March/April), anyway with it forced back further in to the rotation I lost track of things like CP, Gear and Credits. turns out wile my back was turned Len Temple was able to pay off his ship, finish his modification and build a warchest against "Mishaps". to keep a lid on his liquidity I haven't let him off load some merchandise, come last weeks adventure they where hired to transport a client to buy some goods in contested territory, I'd forgotten that part of the Merch the characters where siting on was more or less what the client was after and Len was willing to let it go for a (large, but still heavy discounted) fraction for what the client was willing to pay.

with that windfall and his savings he was able to pay Cash for a 2nd hand (small) capital ship and a Droid Crew, the ship isn't that much of an upgrade sure it's bigger with 6-7 times the cargo space and 2-3 times the passengers, but it's slower (the normal Drives are shot and the Hyperdrive is only X2 and glitchy), less maneuverable, it's unarmed, hasn't got Smugglers holds and all those Staterooms are poorly appointed and baldly dated some may not even fit for habitation. where the Amber Run has luxury appointed staterooms a X1 Hyperdrive and lots of little extras.

Len is holding on to the Amber Run even though his new ship doesn't have a hanger or hyper capable docking point for it. he has a guy that owes him a bunch of favors that has a spare dirt-side docking bay & Workshop so he's leaving the Amber Run with him and has promised to do a bunch of work on the new ship at his place paying favorable rates for the use of the facilities (that would be otherwise unused) even hire on the guy and some of his staff for the work Len and his droids can't do themselves.


Alani and her player are pissed, all those CP she sunk in to Fighter/Transport scaled ship skills are now mostly useless.

quite a few major NPC's are now pissed, the Loan Shark has lost a good income stream, the Mob Boss he works for has lost her favorite Man-Whore and a good ship & crew she can easily extort cut priced or even free cargo haulage out of, there is an imperial official that has bean trying to make a case against one of Len's aliases that has seen his suspect drop off the face of the galaxy and an other that has seen his favorite source of Graft move out of his jurisdiction.

last nights game was a pickup, I had the players transporting a gross of Blasters and a Grater Gross of Powerpacks for the Rebellion, along with a whole mess of legal goods, they got rousted twice before they went to pick up the guns & ammo, their Hyperdrive gave out on the way there so they missed the Bust they where meant to be caught in. originally to make this stop they where meant to fake Hyperdrive trouble to explain why they where making a stop off their itinerary, but they ended up with real hyperdrive trouble so the Con was that much easier. the Rebellion ended up with their Food, Medicine, Cloths and Building Supplies, but missed out on their Guns and Ammo, the Players limped home and spent all there earnings on a new X2 (Small) Capital Hyperdrive. I tried to con them in to pulling a jail brake for the Rebels or to rip off the Impound yard where the Guns where being kept but they wouldn't have a bar of it.

Ok bean gm'ing this for mostly pick up games for the past 18 months, some fun has bean had, Metal Bikinis have bean part of the female Wardrobe (and not the Dancing Girls, much to her Chagrin, despite the character art), starting on the Betty Droid that was being used as a dress-makers dummy, then on the bounty hunter (much to the determent of her tough chick demeanor, and where did she hide that blaster carbine?)

they finally got the Consular class finally renovated, and they had to ram it in to the bridge structure of an Imperial class star destroyer to knock a hole in a blockade so food and medical supplies could be landed and rebel fighters could be puled out, and they aren't even Rebels or getting paid, they got mistaken for blockade runners wile trying to make a legitimate delivery of Pod Racer parts (their outbound run was going to be a load of stolen Tabana), the players escape pods where picked up by an other Imperial class, they have since busted out of the brig and are playing cat and mouse with security, Len and Alsen are currently disguised in stolen officers uniforms, the Betty Droid in Stormtrooper armor and Alini gets stuffed in to the first opportune locker, closet or air vent when necessary, they've almost made it to hangers twice, but had to turn around at the last moment.
