Show notes

Against Beegax’s own advice, the fringers have taken a job for Zalto the Hutt, who has hired them to make an exchange on the Imperial outpost of Scarif.

Now they are caught in the middle of a dangerous power struggle between the corpulent criminal and the machiavellian malefactors of Socorro. On which side will their loyalties fall, who is worth more to betray, and will they be able to come away unscathed or be buried among the shallow graves of those that stood against these crime lords of the Outer Rim?

Empire's Edge - Ep. 19: Relax, Beegax! Jul 29, 2020

Show notes

Beegax and Elo have accepted a job from gregarious gangster, Zalto the Hutt. Transporting cargo and materials between the Outer Rim world of Socorro, and the Imperial occupied paradise of Scarif. In exchange they learned of a Bothan residing behind the clandestine walls of Cjaalysce'i, identified as Sno Ba’all. A possible lead in their search for the Bothan Spy Gir Tu’Tey. But Elo and Beegax are caught between sides, pressured to assassinate Zalto for the crime lords of Socorro, or to turn the tables and ally with the hubristic Hutt.

All while the Empire moves in to suppress insurgent activity in the region and continue their search for stolen slicing equipment. The fearless fingers are anxious to leave the desert world as tensions and occupying forces mount around this dusty frontier.

Empire's Edge - Ep. 18: High Rise Hutt Jul 15, 2020

Show notes

While avoiding the Empire presence on Socorro, Elo and Beegax took the opportunity to re-equip and rearm themselves, and came away with a rare Jedi weapon from a less than reputable source. After recouping their losses, the fringers make their way to the extravagant casino at the edge of the city, its construction rising to rival the towers of Soco-Jaal spaceport.

It is there they are to meet Zalto the Hutt, a notorious gangster and target of an assassination plot engineered by the crime lords of Socorro. Elo and Beegax must weigh their option carefully, which side of this rivalry will they fall on, what are they willing to risk, and how will they escape the system alive?

Empire's Edge - Ep. 16: Shattered Jun 17, 2020

Show notes

The renegade slicer, Beegax Botano, and the modified medical droid, Elo, attempted a high speed escape from Imperial troopers, targeting Beegax’s specialized slicing computer.

With Elo’s glitches getting worse, and their contacts unable to help them, the fearless fingers took a risky gambit and engaged their attackers head on. With the assist of some mysterious yet timely strangers, the fringers brought down the stormtrooper shuttle. But just when they thought they’d escape danger, Beegax and Elo were abducted by the unknown vigilantes and taken without explanation to a location unknown.

Returned to the planet Socorro, and safely landed in the walled city of Cjaalysce'i, Elo and Beegax part ways with their new comrades. But before they could enjoy the sites of the secluded city, they were contacted by the triumvirate, a trio of crime lords who control Socorro, and extorted into carrying out an assassination on the untouchable Zalto the Hutt.

With little choice and fewer options, the fearless fingers agreed, hoping to turn their disadvantage into opportunity. Elo further investigated the strange glitches in their programming, but came away with more questions than answers. Meanwhile Beegax discovered his stolen slicing system is treacherously traceable, when he and Elo were attacked by Imperial viper droids sweeping the city. The fringers escape by speeder across the Badlands only to be pursued by a powerful predator, The Empire.

Empire's Edge - Ep. 14: Sortie on Socorro May 20, 2020

Show notes

Beegax & Ello, along with their new allies, Verse & Kreed, planned a risky mission to rescue Verse's comrade, hiding out on an Imperial outpost in an occupied, war torn system. While infiltrating the Empire’s marshaling station near the planet Geoniss, the crew made contact with Verse’s desperate friend, a pregnant Culisetto anxious to get her children smuggled to safety.

With Beegax’s swift slicing & Ello’s medical expertise the crew were able to implant the young Culisetto eggs in Beegax’s own body & transport them safely to the frontier planet of Tatooine. Now having made good on their bargain with Verse, the enterprising adventurers hope to enlist the helpful human and gregarious gran as full fledged members of the crew of The Way.

Dragging themselves out of the Socorran Badlands, Beegax, Elo and Verse returned to their ship, only to find the fractured freighter grounded with gravity locks. More complications arose when they discover the body of the Black Sun bounty hunter was also missing, stolen by the crime lords of Socorro, who hope to extort the fringers into assassinating a Hutt rival. While the intrepid crew try to negotiate for favor in Socorro’s criminal underworld, the clock ticks down on Verse’s rescue mission to the war zone of Geonosis. Tensions run high, with questions unanswered, and danger begins to surround Elo and Beegax, leaving little room to escape.
