Beyond The Stars- Expansion I: Smugglers' Run

[b]Expansion 1: Smugglers’ Run[/b] [b]Races[/b] [b]The Kr’yat[/b] [spoiler]The Kr’yat are a rodent-like humanoid race hailing from the planet of Kr’ysha. They average about 5 feet tall, and their physical features include a short, hairless tail, and a head reminiscent of a rat. Their bodies are covered in fur, but they still wear clothes for the sake of decency. They are a race of thieves and scoundrels, often using more primitive laser flintlock weapons. They are the subject of many galactic anecdotes, as they are known to be untrustworthy.[/spoiler] [b]Locations[/b] [b]Kr’ysha[/b] [spoiler]Kr’ysha is the homeworld of the Kr’yat. It’s surface is virtually uninhabitable, so the planet’s towns and cities are built on natural rock spires that reach above the clouds. The capital city is Kr’yil, and is often considered one of the galaxy’s smuggler capitals. Recently opened Republic hyperspace routes have allowed for easier travel to the system, but because Kr’ysha is outside of the New Republic’s jurisdiction, smugglers need not worry about Republic soldiers. However, the Republic sometimes hires bounty hunters and mercenaries to track down targets on Kr’ysha.[/spoiler] [b]Weaponry[/b] [b]Flintlock Blaster[/b] [spoiler]The Flintlock Blaster is a primitive laser pistol commonly used by the Kr’yat. It has a short effective range, and is not very accurate, but it does high amounts of damage per shot. It is commonly made from wood and metals grown on Kr’ysha, but some of the key components are imported from the Inner Territories. Because these materials are found on Republic worlds, Kr’yat craftsmen rely on smugglers to bring the materials to them.[/spoiler] [b]Flintlock Rifle[/b] [spoiler]The Flintlock Rifle, like its smaller cousin, is a primitive weapon made by the Kr’yat. Its effective range is longer than the Flintlock Blaster, but it is much less accurate. It is made of the same materials sourced from the same locales, but requires more of those materials to produce. This leads to it being more expensive, and less widely used, than the Flintlock Blaster.[/spoiler] [b]Kr’yat Ship Models[/b] [b]Kr’yka Starfighter[/b] [spoiler]The Kr’yka is a small, agile fighter manufactured and most commonly used by the Kr’yat. It is a small combat fighter that holds one pilot and one droid, and features a small cargo hold ideal for smuggling small amounts of contraband. Standard weaponry is not a term associated with the Kr’yka, as the Kr’yka is not sold on the market like other ships. Instead, the ship is custom made, and is rather expensive. However, the price is well worth it, as the ship is renowned within criminal nets for its quality.[/spoiler]
