The Dicks' Campaign
316 AGLegendary crew fights the Imperium
The Dicks Form
Dimitri, Steven, and Hugh - three drifters bouncing between crews - are the sole survivors of a fatal brawl aboard the Milker of the Mists, triggered by an argument over a ham and swiss cheese sandwich. A warlock named Lucien teleports aboard, and the four form an unlikely crew. Their ship is christened The Wet Dream by Lucien's mysterious patron.
Shimmervaal & Veridia
After the Siege of Shimmervaal forces evacuation, The Dicks flee to Veridia Three - founding what becomes the resistance headquarters. They spearhead the organized resistance movement.
Project Echo Exposed
The Dicks discover the full scope of Project Echo - a multi-species genocide program. The Thri-kreen Scattering 68 years ago was the prototype. Species-specific phages have already been released across Imperial space, infecting millions.
New Fleetstravaganza Attacked
The Fleetstravaganza, a celebration not held for over a century since Dimitri's disaster, is revived as a show of strength. The Plasmoid Collective launches covert simultaneous strikes on the celebration and all Imperium fleets across every sector, causing catastrophic military losses. The Third Fleet is heavily damaged.
The Cure
Through the Memory Vault on Trellis, the cure formula is recovered. Numerous shapeshifters on Veridia sacrifice parts of themselves to synthesize it. The Plasmoid Collective assaults Trellis, but The Dicks, aided by the Barbarus fleet, the resistance, and the heavily damaged remnants of the Third Fleet, defeat Carlito. Ray gives his life. Voren requests the cure for Imperium citizens.
The Fracture
316-317 AGImperium shatters, currency collapses, new powers emerge
Fly Free or Die
317 AGA new crew of Vito's people goes to work in the wreckage
The Nova Rush Taken
Captured on a cargo run for Vito, a new crew turns the tables on Captain Phaedra Firestorm's pirates and flies off with her ship, the Nova Rush. Vito launders its papers on Veridia Three.
EJ Corp's Worst Hires
The crew hauls berries and guns for EJ Corp, makes no money doing it, then quits. On the way out they steal Project Oliphaunt, EJ's prototype, for Lord Sinjin, who betrays them at the handoff. They keep the ship, paint it red and name it La circonferenza.
Merchants of the Void
Freelancing through the Veskarium: a necrograft race against the Wintermourn, a defrex herd delivered to Skitterhaven, EJ's assassin Kreech killed, the Agavana bounty collected, the Bloom destroyed, and the prison Calm 93 broken open.
Blorpulon Six
The Jedarat resort fraud settles in the crew's favor: 30,000 credits, board seats, immunity, and a gift shop run by Xandar on a planet that keeps the name Blorpulon Six.
Duel in the Deep
On EJ's ocean world Entha, the crew rescues Tarika's daughter Shan from the flooding Terra 5 station and kills EJ's director of operations, Avarin Sacrion. The evidence reaches the Xenowardens.

317 AGYOU ARE HERE
The Present Day
The galaxy rebuilds. Some under new flags, others under corporate banners, and some in the lawless spaces between. Veridia stands independent. The Dicks have become legends, and a new crew with a stolen red ship has EJ Corp and Lord Sinjin hunting it.
