Adventuring Group Progression
The Artemis Group started out as Owners of a Free Trader and upgraded to a Far Trader to become hired troubleshooters. Later, the two vessels were sold to purchase a Broadsword-class Mercenary Cruiser and upgrade weapons and armor to provide security services. Still much later, the group became a full mercenary unit.
At the end of my reign as Referee, the characters were heavily armed and armored, almost fully-trained, and Owners of the Athena, a Colonial Cruiser, (Kinunir variant).
With the right merchant on board, a group can go from small-time, to well-established and sink itself in the big picture quickly as the Artemis Group had run-ins with Viscounts, Dukes and pre-Archduke Norris. Travelling all over the Spinward Marches, our group grew by judicious Ticket selection, some court Advocacy, and wisely not poking the Ancient Artifact too much with a stick.
This was the Fifth Frontier War group that was precursor to my current book.
Perhaps this shows how quickly a group can progress if the same characters are kept through more than five years of game timeline.
Via satellite, this is the Pakkrat.
