In this Starforged RPG solo actual play, we follow the story of Emile Spencer, who wakes up stranded in space on a ship in the middle of crashing into the atmosphere of an unknown planet. He has vague memories of encountering a titanic, cosmic beast, VY-572, but there is no one around to tell him any more and no time to do anything but try and survive.
Emile had barely escaped from the hanger full of Imperium soldiers when a catastrophic explosion of Newton's Folly sent him careening through space. The Beowulf, the ship he'd hoped to reach, is similarly blown off course. With everything going so wrong, can Emile and the remaining Vault Hunters get things back on course...?

Ever the survivalist, Emile is making any deal he can, and this time it's with the Imperium. But things are just that one step stranger now that Emile has discovered that the mysterious, robed figure looks exactly like him...

With a small head start thanks to the creation of a gigantic electrical burst, Emile, Valkyrie, Cypher, and Ironsides have a window of opportunity to perhaps make it out of the Prophet Margin and reach the Beowulf before the Vault Hunter prisoners.

The Beowulf and Newton's folly are in orbit above Osolok, the icy planet where they find the Imperium fleet they've been chasing. Somewhere aboard these three ships are the prisoners, and it's up to Emile and Bash to figure out the best way to engage in this fight without endangering them.

No more prep, it's time to get back in the action! Specifically, the action whereby the Beowulf has a gigantic, hill-sized space jellyfish above it, trying to suck the ship into its forest of electrified tentacles.

Every once in a while it's important to take that step back and use an opportunity to know a little bit about what's coming up. I can only fly by the seat of my pants so well and keep it interesting.

Time. Is. Of. The. Essence. Emile may have a fleet of ships ready to come to Concord's aid, but the battle has already begun and they are still far, far from home. Can they possibly get back fast enough to take save Concord from the Imperium's siege? Are they even powerful enough to stop the Imperium if they do...?

Emile has phased through into the side of the Imperium carrier ship. He ambushed a lone soldier and took his uniform, now blending in. However, the radio chatter makes clear that his previously undetected ship, riding the underbelly of the carrier, has been noticed. They're scrambling fighters to find and destroy it. Emile has no immediate way to get back to his ship, and left alone it's sure to be destroyed...

Emile is left clinging to the underbelly of an Imperium ship carrier, bringing a fleet of single fighter ships to Cinder. These ships are going to be a hell of an aerial force for the Vault Hunters to contend with, or, if Emile plays his cards right, perhaps for the Vault Hunters to use for themselves...

Emile was trying to sneak his way into one of the fighters in Hyperion's hangar, but halfway through his ghosting through the side of it, the phase shifter got disrupted and he got stuck occupying the same physical space as the ship!

Curses, Emile has been poisoned by a nefarious duo of cultists from Anubis! While avoiding the worst of its effects, the psychedelic effects are still messing with his perceptions and causing the world to look much more intimidating.

Magpie has snuck off with an important, and specific, component necessary to the operation of the claw gantry in the Junk Pile. Without it, Emile is going to have a very difficult time retrieving the old, broken drill and loading it onto the skiff.
