Five Parsecs From Home – The Crew
Five Parsecs From Home
I started dabbling in Five Parsecs From Home recently; after acquiring the 3rd edition rules, I decided to port my existing campaign over, and continue.
I will be documenting the ordeals and adventures of my Five Parsecs From Home crew here.
So to begin, here is the crew of the retired scoutship Renegade Pigeon
Jaxx Pearsall and his cousin, Kazi Pearsall inherited their ship, a much-repaired, ancient scoutship named the "Renegade Pigeon" after their parents were killed in a K'Erin invasion on the Fringe. Jaxx has built up a band of down-on-their-luck losers to seek their fortunes.
Captain Jaxx Pearsall
Years later, Jaxx and Kazi found that their parents had a ship in drydock on Besulla in the Delon system. They made their way there, took out a loan to get their ship out of impound, and started looking for other lost souls to crew their ship.
Kazi wears a piece of an ancient artifact, discovered by her mother. When they met Vonthos, the alien tomb-raider (just out of jail for travel violations - a huge dissapointment to his family), they found he had another piece of the artifact - and that together they formed a piece of a map. They are interested in following that trail - Kazi to show that her parents' research into the progenitors is correct, Vonthos just for the adventure.
Joined by Selene the wanderer (who lost her way after mustering out, but seeks to have her name be known in the universe), Vilem the mercenary, Miak, the ex-military son of a financial analyst who wanted to see the universe and Vonthos, the Elephant Uplift child of a wealthy merchant, they banded together out of common need, and in some cases desperation.

After injuries taken escaping from Besulla, after a K'Erin invasion, the crew recruited an adventure-seeking bureaucrat named Hans, who was eager to leave the rule of the Theocracy of Hran-Vogus on Hesione and see the universe
