Starsung Distance Finale – Talk Amongst Yourselves
Dziban took off their headphones, and sighed. It was fun watching the crew of The Cullet implode via the camera they'd hidden on the bridge, but now it made it pretty hard to imagine they'd come find Dziban and tell them the secret to getting back to the Cillara Sector quickly. Still, the…

Starsung Distance Episode 9 – Karman Line
"Shield. Shield! Hey!" Be My Shield blinked heavily. Delta slumped to the floor. "Finally. Knew you weren't dead, no way I survive something that you don't. But you were worrying me." The Anti-Entropist mercenary frowned. "Dziban?" "They got away, of course. A talent of theirs." Delta snorted...

Starsung Distance Episode 6 – A Lens in the Sun

Starsung Distance Episode 4 – Settleblow
The Space Between shook her head. It was a shame that that... "influencer" was unwilling to sell. Despite what she'd told them, in truth Between found it depressing to see such a beautiful machine sit unused. Scratches weren't blemishes, they were badges. If they'd agreed to sell, she would have...

Starsung Distance Faction Game Turn 1 – Stumbling Giants

Embers of War Episode 3 – Stinging Truths
The truth hurts. Like a sharp object pierced through fragile skin, the truth can often bring pain for what feels endless. Even worse, the removal of such a stinger can hurt even more then when it first settled in. But only by ridding yourself of such thing, can you begin to heal. How one faces…
