Tylappar at Frontier's End obviously inspired by Han Solo at Star's End

Corporate sector suggests mega corps secret mega corp prison suggests the Zebs Guide corporate systems: New Streel or Pan Gal. although the existance of the Zeb's Guide systems is often treated as future to the time frame of the modules.

Hook: is Tylappar needs a speical waiver and some upgrades to ship to carry corporate cargos

Goes to Doc Crypto to get these only to discover that she is missing, presumed kidnapped. her level 6 butler bot (anthropomorphic body lvl 6) barters with them to get them to look for Ms. Crypto (one of the foremost hackers and forgers in the Frontier)

They will go into the lions den of corporate control bringing the butler bot to hack the corporate net looking for Crypto.

Traitor subplot?

Merco or Galactic Taskforce mercenary/security folks capture PC or crucial NPC

go even deeper into the corporate lions den disguised as entertainers? for the prison break.

Explosions and big finish

Tylappar's Revenge: corporate sector (one of the mega-corp) is trading in slaves purchased from one of the city state crime lords on Outer Reach. Tylappur, who has been down on his luck, is hired to pick up a "blind" cargo on O.R. only to discover its slaves. He's not for slavery and balks and barely thwarts the commandeering of his ship. Decides someone needs to pay up anyway? Flies to meer his contact on ?(Voltunus?) But when he gets there he encounters a corprate investigator or maybe star law?

They find evidence implication a corporate EVP and outwit corporate goons sent to detaun them. The revenge part is Tylappur exposes the slavery ring and gets paid.

Calling audible on lost legacy to rename it: Tylappar and the Treasure of the Tetrarchs. That gives it a nice aliteration. 

Hatzk Naar' s so called treasure ship the Xim jumped without doing jump calculations to escape capture during the Frist Common Muster. It has never turned up. 

I'm going with my theory on Naar being vrusk and the crew of his treasure ship being stranded somewhere form a vrusk trade house/quasi religious cult dedicated to Hatzk awaiting his messianic like advent. Much as in Lost Legacy. 

Im not really feeling the need to stick too close to Lost Leg plot line on this so i might borrow from Jack McDevit novels. Especially something like "A Talent for War"

If you haven't seen it in the Documents section yet, I started "Tylappar - A Dramune Story"


This can kick "Revenge" to the curb and sequels to it could be Frontier's End and Lost Legacy (not necessarily in that order either, they do make for good working titles though).
I'm not overly fond of Zeb's Guide...nor do I have any qualms stating why. Tongue out

Yeah I'm sweet on the Plot of Han Solo's Revenge for a SF adventure. I like elements of STar's End and Lost Legacy as well as their titles as working titles. Although revenge could be a title, i just think it needs a different story worked into the SF setting.
