Here is the session summary based on the provided transcript.

Session Title: Gods of Fantasy and the Ihatei Conspiracy

PCs present:

• Emilio (Plays a scientist/explorer woman, possibly “Pika”).
• Nacho (Plays a technical/social character, possibly “Ondo”).
• Nemo (Captain).
• Paloma (Mentioned, broker/hacker character, though the player is absent or inactive).

NPCs present:

• Tarja (Native of Fantasy. Human of sculptural beauty but limited intellect. Archetype: The Innocent Savage).
• Utea (Spaceport administrator of Keiteroa. Pragmatic and concerned with business. Archetype: The Neutral Merchant).
• Fiuq (Aslan information merchant, a “Sinclan”. Archetype: The Mercenary Informant).
• Teao (Agent of the Aslan clans).
• Iqi “The Anxious” (Ihatei leader, aggressive and heavily armored).
• Tohijo “The Brave” (Young Ihatei leader).
• Heigh “The Wise” (Elderly and tactical Aslan, uses a computer).

Main developments in the campaign:

• It has been discovered that the planet Fantasy is inhabited by genetically modified humans (former slaves/breeders of the Glorious Empire Aslan) who lack advanced intelligence due to mental manipulation or blockage.
• The group has devised a plan to divert the imminent invasion of the Ihatei (landless Aslan warriors) that threatens Drinax. The strategy involves manipulating information so that the Aslan attack and conquer Fantasy instead of Drinax, selling them the idea that Fantasy is a rich territory with slaves, while exaggerating Drinax’s military defenses.

Loose ends:

• The “mental block” (the cloud) of the natives of Fantasy requires advanced medical technology and facilities that the PCs currently lack to be cured.
• Nacho must execute the bribery/manipulation plan with Fiuq to disseminate the false information without them discovering the deception.
• The purchase of aerospace fighters for Drinax was left pending after a failed negotiation by Nemo.

Scene 1: The Goddess of Fantasy

PCs present: Emilio. NPCs present: Tarja (Native woman, perfect physique, speaks simplified Trokh). Location: Mountains and jungle of Fantasy (Planet/System Fantasy). Ships mentioned: Crashed Aslan ship (1000-ton ancient cargo/slave transport model).

Summary: Emilio explores the surface of Fantasy, a world with gravity slightly higher than Earth’s. He encounters humans of “sculptural” physical beauty but simple and primitive behavior who speak a degenerate dialect of Trokh (Aslan language). The natives, including a woman named Tarja, worship him as a “Goddess” due to his technology. Tarja guides Emilio to a “sacred place” which turns out to be an Aslan ship that crashed centuries ago and is covered in vegetation. Inside, Emilio discovers that the ship belonged to the Glorious Empire (a heretical Aslan faction that used slaves) and was transporting “breeders” (humans modified for breeding). Emilio deduces that the natives have an artificial mental block. He attempts to access the ship’s computers, but the lack of power and tools prevents him from doing more, so he decides to return with the information.

Scene 2: Espionage at the Spaceport

PCs present: Nacho. NPCs present: Utea (Port administrator), Iqi “The Anxious”, Tohijo “The Brave”, Heigh “The Wise” (Aslan leaders). Location: Spaceport and Control Tower in Keiteroa (Planet/System Keiteroa). Ships mentioned: None specific, Ihatei ships are mentioned in general.

Summary: Nacho remains in Keiteroa gathering information on the Ihatei’s movements. He observes that two main factions are forming, led by Iqi and Tohijo (advised by the elder Heigh), and that the departure of the invasion fleet is imminent. Nacho speaks with Utea, the port administrator, who confesses that she doesn’t want the Aslan to leave because she would lose business. They agree that the ideal outcome would be to sabotage their plans or redirect them. Utea suggests that the best way to influence the Aslan leaders is through Teao (the clan agent) or Fiuq (the “Sinclan” information merchant). Nacho decides to prepare an expensive gift to try to gain an audience with Fiuq and manipulate him.

Scene 3: The New Strategic Plan

PCs present: Emilio, Nacho, Nemo. NPCs present: None. Location: PCs’ ship (Keiteroa). Ships mentioned: Harrier (reference to the Drinax ship).

Summary: The group reunites after Emilio’s return. Emilio shares his discovery about Fantasy: it is a habitable planet, with a docile population (perfect slaves for the Glorious Empire’s mentality), and no defenses. They cross-reference this information with the situation in Keiteroa. They decide that the best way to save Drinax is not to fight, but to convince the Aslan that Drinax is a difficult target (inventing false military defenses) and that Fantasy is the big prize: a lost world of the Glorious Empire ready to be reconquered. They plan to use Fiuq to leak this fabricated “intelligence.” Nemo admits that his previous attempt to buy fighters for Drinax failed because he is not a good negotiator, reinforcing the need for this deception plan.
