Chapter One: Life on Basin

Growing up on Basin is not exactly the dream childhood. While a peaceful planet, Basin is pretty backwater. Ulbar often had to miss school to help out on the farm, when it was planting or harvest season. To many children this would have been a blessing but not to Ulbar. He had plans.

He was not going to work the plot of land worked by his father and his father's father. He was not going to work on one planet among the many. He was going to get into space, explore, make a name for himself. Unlike his father, he would be remembered. However his father made it very clear to him that there was no way out. He would not pay for his son to go off on some foolish adventure. Ulbar's options were farm or starve.

Many years passed with him patiently assisting his father on the farm. Bored and restless, they melded together in the endless repetition of planting and harvest, planting and harvest. Then his father suddenly grew sick and died. On his death bed he implored his son to stay on the farm, not let it out of the family. Unable to deny his father's dying request he agreed.

The relatives all arrived for the funeral. Most took Ulbar's unhappiness to be due to his father's death but his uncle knew better. He had always sensed Ulbar's restlessness but never knew how to help. Now he finally knew how.

After the funeral was over he called Ulbar over to talk in private. He offered to trade a small starship that he won by raffle for the farm. That way it would stay within the family but Ulbar would be free to live his life. He instantly agreed.



A week later Ulbar had reached Cromswell's Point, the main spaceport of Basin. Legend says it's where the first ship to land on Basin landed but the information had been lost over time. Ulbar wasn't thinking about that though. He was much more aware of the fact that only had 3500 credits to his name. While this was a pretty good fund he knew that it wouldn't last long. He had a few choices at present to gain some cash...

1) Buy some food, fly to the nearby mining planet of Hooper's Hoop and sell it for a profit.
2) Spend some on upgrading the ship and start doing odd jobs for the fixers in the bar.
3) Go to the local gun store and go on a shooting spree, escaping into space with whatever money that he can manage to grab off of the corpses.

Which should he do?

Clearly we should buy some food, and maybe a little booze, and fly to that mining planet. They're sure to appreciate the food, and they'll REALLY appreciate the booze! Play it safe Ulbar, and you'll go far!

Either way we should retain 500 space bucks for fuel and space whores assorted expenses.

Alright, playing the update now. Thanks for the quick response!
