A short summary of events that transpired.
Angelia has a hideout in the Drift. Jarina claims that she have a hideout on Castrovel instead.
Party have been hired by His Excellency, head ambassador of the Eoxian Embassy to be a neutral party to investigate the Acreon and the Drift Rock.
Astral Extractions, whom originally hired the Downside Kings, wanted to get the party to support it in it's right to claim the Drift Rock. Astral Extractions is a multi-planetary conglomerate who does not care about the smaller entities.
The Hardscrabble Collective, on the other hand, wanted the party to support them by finding out the truth about what happened to the crew of the Acreon, and then allowing the Collective to lay claim to the Drift Rock so that the profits from the Rock could be given to the missing crew's surviving families.
The party's entry to the Starfinder Society is delayed until the Forum can convene after they come back from the Scoured Stars.
==========
Downside Kings: Friendly
Level 21 Crew: Friendly
Piccolo has guided the Downside Kings into opening a gambling den in the Fusion Queen.
Also, the Downside Kings and the Level 21 Crew are now in an uneasy truce as the threat of reprisal from the party is enough to stop the Downside Kings.

The Hardscrabble Collective was awarded the Driftrock, and the bodies of the Acreon's crew were properly buried.
The party remained quiet about the Corpse Fleet officer whom they have delivered safely to Gevarlarsk Nor.
Session ends with the party accepting Chiskisk's request to go to Qabarat.

Found out that Dr. Solstarni, who was extremely interested in the non-Elven Ruins of Ukulam, was kidnapped by an archaeologist Eyrub Paqual. He and his team of 14 explorers have been seen carrying heavy weapons, as well as a bulky comms unit. Special permits for fungal spores have also been obtained.
The Starfinders obtained a set of forged permits to use the Gateway to Ukulam to Turhalu Point. The permits have been forged by Benedict Cucumberbatch, a lashunta raver who is a good friend of Pandora.

Five days into Ukulam, with the tactical benefit of a floating contemplative, the Starfinders made excellent progress towards the Temple of the Twelve, although they were hampered slightly by Pandora's heavy armour.
Driving away the host of kaukarikis who have been following them, the group also fought off a stalking ksarik, laying an ambush for it. Following it's tracks, they managed to find a lashunta, Ralkam, who was in the mercenary group which the Starfinders were following. Clearing her body of the carrion spores which the ksarik injected her with, she was keen to avoid death and threw in her lot with the Starfinders.
She reveals the following information:
Eyrub Paqual is non-existent. They are actually following a man called Tahomen, a priest of the Cult of the Devourer. When the Starfinders' discoveries were broadcast live throughout the Pact Worlds, the Cult of the Devourer was quick to draw a connection between the Driftrock and the Temple of the Twelve, and hence, they set off for the elven ruins immediately.
They kidnapped Dr Solstarni in the hopes of her being able to assist them in deciphering the elven ruins.
Tahomen's lieutenant is a lashunta woman named Avissa, who wields a squad machinegun.
The shirren sniper, Salask was tasked to stay behind and take care of any pursuers. The Starfinders were chased by a herd of trampling yaruks all thanks to this sniper.
Swearing revenge, the Starfinders plan to use Ralkam as a bait to draw Salask out in the open. How they plan to do that though is a story for another session...
(60 miles to reach the Temple of the Twelve! Party averages about 10 miles a day.)

The Starfinders having secured the Temple of the Twelve, traced the communications that Tahomen, the leader of the Castrovel cell to the Field of the Lost in the Diaspora.
Exiting the Drift, the Starfinders were ambushed by a single pirate, Free Captain Alera, who worked for Vladimir Kharkov. Displaying superior firepower, the Rusty Rivet surrendered very quickly.
Revealing that a couple of "bone ships" were in the area, and seems to be heading towards a cultist base, the Starfinders allow the Free Captain Alera and her crew to go free, in exchange for some credits.
Landing on asteroid K9204, the group survived a couple of encounters with the local fauna. Finding a trapdoor which leads into the Star-Eater Spine, the Starfinders proceeded into the bowels of the Devourer's cult very carefully.

Exploring the Star-Eater Spine, the party found that the Cult of the Devourer have departed for an unknown location, and that the location has been scrubbed clean by none other than the Corpse Fleet.
The hologram of Nyara found in the Sacred Lore section of the databank conveys the following prophecy:
"In the maw of the Twelve lies the Key.
Forsooth, shall all be undone.
When the knee meets the gorge, so far.
The widening gyre implodes - magnificiently."

After befriending the outcast kish, the Starfinders decided to head to the House of Renewal to check it out first as it is the closest to the Cloudside Community Centre.
The party are at the front doors of the House of Renewal.

After obtaining the location of the Gate of the Twelve Suns, the Starfinders reached the system where they engaged in a short firefight with the Devourers' cultists.
Capturing a surrendering Jangly Man, it was revealed that Angelia, once mistress of LC-1A is a leader of the Devourers. She have found religion, which in turn, led her to the Stellar Degenerator.
With the Jangly Man with them, he revealed the following information about the members of the Wallbreaker Choir.
- Angelia, Composer, human mystic
- Null-9, Composer, android sniper
- Xix, Degenerator, ysoki mechanic
- Zaz, Degenerator, ysoki mechanic
- Malice, independent Devourer entity, creates Oblivion Shades

After sending the true Nifri Zamas Gidren Sye, the kasatha xenoarchaeologist who has been closed, back to Absalom Station to join the Starfinder Society, the Starfinders witnessed an unarmed ship getting shot down by Sivv defense drones.
As the Starfinders raced to their specially modified Drake to take action, they turn to find Piccolo in a dazed mode, as he begins to enter autopilot mode!
Will the Starfinders fare well against these advanced alien starships? What will they do with Nifri-2 now that the real clone has been spotted?
Find out in the next episode of the Devastation Ark!
To be continued...

Realizing the mistake, the adventurers planned to send Nifri-2 to join the Dataphiles, possibly with the real Nifri, where he can do field research.He whined a little, as he did not consent to being shot at. Fortunately, within the Starfinder Society itself, quiet field work does exist.
In the mean time, after clearing the strange gleaming tower that has risen out of the ground on the horizon, they traced the quantum signal to one of Liavara's shepherd moons, a little known moon known has Hibb.
Five years ago, the bantrids emerged from stasis on Hibb with no knowledge of their culture, and behaviour before, but they were eager to absorb what new information is given to them.
The quantum signal sent to Hibb opened portal doors beneath the Vault-Towers, and the moon's temperature began to rise ever since. Hoping the Starfinders could deal with it, AbadarCorp contracted the Starfinders led by Venture-Captain Pandora and descended into the bowels of the moon.
After travelling for many hours, the Starfinders eventually made their way to the power core at the front of the ship.
There, they fixed the quantum core, as well as dispatching the adikodaemon, Izuvnael.

Awakening from the brainwashing simulation, Angelia was the one who sabotaged the brainwashing sequence, thus allowing the Starfinders to escape the endless brainwashing.
She has found an ally, the moon giant, Kezmir, who has fought a losing battle against her brainwashed tribesmen who now follows the "tentacled ones". The leader of the clan Crescent Divine is an eclipse giant, known as Xiello. He possesses the star charts which allows Kezmir to leave the Ark Prime.
The Starfinders have two options.
One, to head off to search for Xiello in a head-on confrontation, possibly facing a few brainwashed moon giants, as well as a mature solar wisp.
Two, to head off towards the east, in a fungus infested chamber which will lead to the backdoor of Xiello's throne room.
Which way will the Starfinders go?

01 Gozran 319 AG
Eliminating the core AI of Vheiransch from the Ark Prime, the Starfinders' advice were sought after on how to deal with the sivv in stasis as they are the foremost experts on the sivv.
The Starfinders after much deliberation sent the Ark Prime into exile by sending it away in it's normal drive, as far away from the Pact Worlds as possible.
Mar's AI, EVA, was uploaded to the AI core and it's instructions was to safeguard the sivv from being woken up by any external forces, unless a safe code provided by Mar has been input. EVA, has in it's disposal, an incredible amount of resources. One befitting that of an ark ship.
Onboard the ship, the stoic Spectre will forever more remain as it's guardian, along with the Crescent Diviner moon giants, led by the eclipse giant Xiello, remained on the Ark Prime forevermore. A valiant sacrifice, she was eventually joined by LC-1A and Angelia, as the Girls Frontline Exiles once again resumed the relationship that they once had, but now as equals.
Before joining Spectre on their self-imposed exile, LC-1A was asked by Cerebros to help jumpstart the star which was destroyed by the Stellar Degenerator. The star which contained the planet of Lathlath, homeworld of the aqlath, was jumpstarted when LC-1A agreed to wrestle a few mature solar wisps into the star's core, triggering nuclear fusion to jumpstart the star once again. LC-1A agreed on one condition. "You must film me. If it wasn't filmed, it didn't happen." Similar to the term, no picture no talk, the terms were easily granted and thus, that was how LC-1A jumpstarted the star, granting life to Lathlath once again, after a period of untold millenia.
Embarking on a short career with the Pact Worlds Wrestling Federation (PWWF), her career seems extremely promising when she gave it all up to enter the self-imposed exile. She have fought a god, and a spark of a star, nothing is beyond her any more. Angelia agreed to go with LC-1A as she felt that there was nothing more she could do.
Piccolo on the other hand, headed to Istamak to reverse engineer and fix the Rebirth chamber of the ancient Kishalee. The kish welcomed Piccolo with open arms, and Piccolo on finding his own successful medtech company, can be seen playing in the casinos in the Underside of Absalom Station, but never was he ever found to entering and exiting the casino. (He did so by teleporting and dimension doors.)
Venture-Captain Pandora dedicated her life in helping some sivv to adapt to life in the Pact Worlds. Drawing on considerable resources from various sources and races, the sivv slowly adapts to life in the Pact Worlds. Changing their very cultural upbringing was not easy, but eventually, they take to the Starfinder Society as the Society are very accepting of outliers.
When a batch of sivv have been successfully converted, Pandora will fly to the Ark Prime and under Spectre's personal supervision, will release a new batch of sivv to be converted to the peaceful life in the Pact Worlds. This will go on for the rest of her life.
Mar itself will lead the development of the sivv technology in which the life force of the weak will be used to convert to that like the bacta tank. With parallel development of medtech by both Piccolo and Mar, the companies will fight like the handphone companies on Earth-1.
After Mar dies of old age, Black Star will reappear one last time at Ark Prime and will disappear into it's labyrinthine halls, hoping to upload itself into a sivv sage-coffer.
Cerebros will gather his closest followers and reincarnate them to grant them perpetual immortality. Gathering his cult, he intends to wage war on the Azlanti Star Empire, but that is a story for another time. The fervour of the cult grows as Cerebros proclaims himself the Messiah.
====================
A story that spanned 2 years, 3 months and 5 days, this concludes the story of the Starfinders, a group of wet behind the ears adventurers, fleeing from pirates in the Diaspora, to be the most powerful heroes the Pact Worlds has ever seen.
