What the title says.

The history of the crew of Fortunes Gambit.

Thinking this will be a fun little exercise for the group effort to form the backstory of how our characters came to call Fortune's Gambit their home.

So first important question... who originally found Fortune's Gambit? One would think it would either be Tuth or Thain.... maybe both of them? Where did they find it or who did they take it from?

I think it makes sense that Tuth and Thain were the ones that found it.

So how and where did Tuth and Thain find it? Or take it from?

This is a good moment to build up acquaintances and/or enemies for Tuth and Thain with this bit of background.

I will flesh this out and add a bit to my back story but at a high level...

I was down on my luck, with not two credits to rub together and out of a crew. I was about to try robbing a member of the crew who I thought was on their own (lets say Nulyn), when Tuth and co step around the corner. The resulting conversation got me hired on as muscle.

Utapu

Was a layover for the crew of Fortune's Gambit (Tuth, Thain, and Nulyn) before they moved to a rendezvous in the Senex sector with an employer. Picking up some supplies and some needed R&R before leaving on the long flight.

Nulyn took his chance to get some hunting in at the bottom of the sink hole city they were at. A good way for him to pass the time as he didn't the enjoy the cantina as much as Thain or working on the ship like Tuth.

It must of been on the hunt of just after Nulyn made it back to the surface that he caught the attention of Seb...

Seb didn't like blind robbin' people. There was no honour to it and he wasn't being paid, but needs must - he needed to eat. His mark was a Chiss, he'd noted a fancy blaster on the aliens belt. That would keep him in a food for a good while and give him some credits to work with.

As Nulyn stepped into an alleyway Seb emerges from the shadows, hand on his holstered heavy blaster about to draw. Immediately following the Chiss - how had he missed them - was a damned great wookie and others, but his attention was fully focused on the wookie. He pulls his hand quickly back from his holster "Err, hi." he manages, a little flustered.

Nulyn had spotted Seb way back. The human thought he was being sneaky but those hunter instincts kicked in for the Chiss. He wouldn't become the prey today. He had called ahead to Tuth to come and intercept the human before he could jump him.

The trap was sprung and now the human was face to face with someone around his size. Something that probably didn't happen all that often.

++++++

To flesh Seb out some more... what kind of work was he doing on Utapu? Working for someone? Trying to get work? Found himself stranded their? A good time to introduce acquaintances or maybe an enemy of Seb's.

Thain met Tuth at your run of the mill backwater smuggler hole in the outer rim. Thain had talked himself into some cargo that was way above his head and the distributor was getting cold feet. Tuth overheard it all and when the distributor sent goons to cancel the deal with Thain, Tuth stepped in as only he could do.

With the thugs dead and Thain holding onto several kilos of valuable cargo, Tuth's ship Fortune's Gambit turned out to be the perfect place to hide it. Ever since then, the two - while seeming to get on one another's nerves - have been nigh inseparable.

Tuth still doesn't know how he got away with it. He had co-piloted a junker to Nar Shadda but they got stiffed on the payment when the bounty hunter showed up. He must have had more money than experiance because he was kitted out and although he got the drop on the wookie his restraints were no better than paper for a creature like a wookie.

Just as they where on the ramp up to the ship - already starting to power up the wookie broke free and knocked the hunter out - giving Tuth the chance to run with what was called Hunters Fortune. Tuth had a techy who owed him a few favours and a quick IFF switch and a paint job and Tuth had Fortune's Gambit and a way to make a living in the galaxy.

Nice to see things getting fleshed out a bit more. I bet that bounty hunter is still pissed Tuth took his ship...

Also, speaking of Nar Shaddaa...

++++

One would think Nulyn joined the Fortune's Gambit when it visited some exotic place in the Outer Rim. Instead, the Chiss hunter was on Nar Shaddaa. He'd found himself stuck in Hutt Space after a job gone bad out along The Dead Road. Luckily his employer, Lalel The Hutt, was nice enough to send a rescue team and drag him back to the smuggler's moon.

Nulyn was out of credits and luck. He had to start from the ground up on Nar Shaddaa and doing that was risky business. Even on Nar Shadda someone needed a hunter. Some enterprising low life, Kwel, was looking to establish a smuggling route through the Old Duros Sector away from the eyes of the Hutts. It was a good idea as the sector had been long abandoned and was now the home of some nasty predators and hunting parties that would come in looking for a good hunt. It was like a second home for Nulyn.

He'd taken many groups doing work for Kwel through the district many of times. He was Kwel's go to guide after all.

Another group of smugglers, a Wookie and a Zabrack, with their cargo needed to be guided through the sector. This was at the unfortunate time that the Angilac kajidic had figured out how Zwel was able to move his goods without them knowing or getting a piece of the pie. So they brokered a deal with the Ootana family (a group that runs safari hunts in the Old Duros Sector) to intercept anyone moving stuff through the sector. They obliged by making it a new hunt for their customers.

Nulyn and the smugglers became the prey of a hunting party that signed up to hunt sentient. It was a long and terrifying ordeal but Nulyn with the help of the smugglers made it out alive and with most of the cargo as well.

Finally out of the sector Nulyn learned of Zwel and his businesses demise. Nulyn was once again out of work and possibly a target of the Ootana family and the Angilac kajidic. Luckily the two smugglers were looking for a extra hand on their ship and someway to repay Nulyn for helping get them out of the sector.

That's how Nulyn joined the crew of Fortune's Gambit and became friends with Tuth and Thain.
