Here is the summary of the session based on the provided transcript:

Session Title: Blood in the Jump and Crossed Destinies

PCs present

• Fermín (Played by Nacho. Dies during the session).
• Goran (Played by Juan).
• Pika (Played by Paloma).
• Nemo (Played by Nemo/Speaker_09).
• Fomega (New character, pilot, played by Speaker_01).
• Nacho’s New PC (Ex-convict artist, in creation process).

NPCs present

• Kuk Norra (Male Aslan, invader. Physically described as “Chuck Norris with ears”, orange fur. Armed with a Gauss pistol and a Crescent sword. Archetype: Enemy/Invader).
• Female Aslan (Invader. Armed with a heavy revolver and claws. Archetype: Enemy/Accomplice).
• Bespexers (Minor crew members, one possibly blind. Archetype: Mooks/Expendable Crew).
• King Oleb XVI (Mentioned as the original owner of the ship Scarlet Loot).

Plot Development and Campaign Objectives

• PC Death: Fermín dies during an Aslan boarding after a failed jump.
• Crew Resources: It is established that Pika owns 50% of the ship Scarlet Loot (a freighter that belonged to King Oleb) and Nemo has acquired a yacht and TAS membership thanks to his status.
• New Additions: The backstories of the new characters who will replace losses or join the group are being shaped (a Navy pilot and an ex-convict artist).

Loose Ends

• Pika’s Condition: She is incapacitated and possibly crippled after the jump and combat; cryosleep (“the fridge”) is discussed to save her.
• The Prisoner: The female Aslan is unconscious and tied up; her fate has not been definitively resolved.
• Integration: How the new characters (Fomega and Nacho’s new one) physically meet the current group still needs to be narrated.

Scene 1: Ambush in Jump Space

PCs present

• Fermín
• Goran
• Pika (Incapacitated)
• Bespexers (Ally NPCs)

NPCs present

• Kuk Norra (Aslan invader. Archetype: Elite Warrior).
• Female Aslan (Aslan invader. Archetype: Combat Companion).

Location(s) and/or Planet(s)

• Command Bridge and Engine Room (PCs’ Ship, Jump Space).

Ship(s) mentioned

• PCs’ Ship (Model unknown, Captain Pika/Fermín).

Scene Summary The ship makes a dangerous jump within a planetary sphere, causing severe physical and mental effects on the crew (nausea, irritability, memory lapses). Pika is incapacitated by vomiting. Taking advantage of the chaos, two Aslans board the bridge. Kuk Norra, a humanoid-looking Aslan, and a female attack.

Fermín attempts to defend himself by firing from the pilot’s chair, but his armor does not withstand Kuk Norra’s Gauss pistol fire, and Fermín dies on the spot. The female Aslan takes Pika hostage. Goran arrives from the engine room, engages in hand-to-hand combat, and after a tough confrontation where he receives several shots, manages to kill Kuk Norra and leave the female unconscious. The scene ends with the surviving crew deciding to place Pika in a cryogenic chamber to try to save her and dealing with Fermín’s death.

Scene 2: Forging New Lives (Character Creation)

PCs present

• Fomega (Creating character).
• Nemo (Advancing character).
• Nacho (Creating new character).
• Paloma (Advancing Pika).

NPCs present

• No physical NPCs apply, only background mentions (tutors, officers, judges).

Location(s) and/or Planet(s)

• Drinax (Planet/System - Nemo’s return location).
• Prison (Background location for Nacho’s new PC).
• University and Naval Academy (Background locations).

Ship(s) mentioned

• Scarlet Loot (Free Trader Freighter, Captain Pika/King Oleb XVI - Mortgage).
• Nemo’s Yacht (Yacht, Captain Nemo - Creation benefit).

Scene Summary The players spend the rest of the session creating new characters and advancing existing ones according to Traveller’s creation tables:

1. Fomega (New PC): Creates a character who attempted to be a Belter, was forcibly recruited by the Army (Infantry), and later managed to enter the Navy as a pilot of small craft, participating in diplomatic missions and surviving a mutiny.
2. Nacho (New PC): Creates an “artist” and performer who defines himself as a victim of the system. He served a term in prison (where he learned to fight and Streetwise) for a crime he claims he did not commit. He finishes his creation as an artist with political rivals.
3. Nemo: Advances his career as an Agent and Noble/Diplomat. He returns to Drinax to work in administration. He obtains significant benefits: a Yacht, TAS (Travellers’ Aid Society) membership, and Ship Shares.
4. Pika (Paloma): Rolls for accumulated benefits. She obtains partial ownership of a Free Trader type ship. The GM establishes that this ship is the Scarlet Loot, a former pirate ship of King Oleb XVI, now a freighter in poor condition.
