Customizing a scout speeder for my space cowboys + crew shot
Got a few of the Lego city space sets and I’ve been slowly working on knocking together some bits and bobs to go with the story in my head.
So from left to right we have:
- Reginald P Esquire, Mechanic
- Medic Kevorian “Kev” Jones
- The gear guy (name still pending)
- H.E.S.T. X. 3 / Hostile Environment Scout Trooper Experimental prototype 3
- Carmine, The Programmer Formerly Known As
- Captain Emile Galloway
- Vera AKA Riker AKA #2
They’re from a setting where galactic civilization just sort of quietly collapsed one day, and it took a while for people to notice. It wasn’t anything major like an extinction level event or FTL ceasing to work or a giant war. It was just a lot of little things piling up over time.
And now?
Now people have to do what they’ve been doing since the first hominid looked up at the stars and thought “I wonder if I could touch them if I reached high enough”: get by any way they can.
This particular crew was looking for salvage and supplies and stumbled across an experimental research outpost and discovered an advanced scouting and scientific research ship with a prototype slip drive and have been using it as a mobile base ever since.
