Sun, 28 November 2021
Cillian has offered to give up the Olorun if the crew doesn't want to come with him on Fanaka's next job. To convince them, he's agreed to let Fanaka tell them of his past — a past he has kept hidden until now.

Cillian's old comrade Fanaka came aboard the Olorun, and within hours, the freighter found itself in a firefight with ships owned by the Pontski Sisters. The Olorun suffered damage, but, thanks to a clever trick by new crewmember Aya Omiatta, managed to escape to the void.
|
Sun, 7 November 2021
Cillian's old comrade in arms Fanaka has come onboard the Olorun. She was on the ship decades ago, but a lot has changed since then — both with the Olorun and with Cillian.

|
Sun, 31 October 2021
Fanaka convinced Cillian to continue a dangerous job, but Cillian is only one-fourth of the crew of the Olorun. For Fanaka to get what she wants, she needs the buy-in from Zan, Beans, and Aya.
|

|
Sun, 10 October 2021
Aya Omiata is the Olorun's newest crew member. Trained since childhood to be a lethal, tactical chess master, she's fled her home in the League of Planets and has been on the run ever since, right up until she joined Cillian's crew. But she's only a member of that team on an interim basis — can she make the cut and make the ship her home?
