Last Fleet: Playtest (Session 1 of 3)
David Morrison runs for Diana Moon, Donogh, Leandro Pondoc, and Zach
In this session, we build the fleet itself - the last remnants of the navy and civilian ships from the capital planet of Helm and its colonies. Following the near annihilation of the human race by the Mneumotics, an inscrutable civilisation of insectile machines, the fleet has no alternative but to flee to the stars. We meet two of the officers aboard the Fleet's flagship, the Horizon Black. Commander Alisa Cascade, the acting CO of the Horizon Black following the assassination of the previous CO, wants the best for her crew but there are doubts if she is suited for a wartime command. Lieutenant Yunuen Soto is the Horizon Black's hard-edged helmswoman, willing to do whatever is necessary to triumph against the "Roaches". Also aboard the Horizon Black is the cocky Lt. Castor "Talos" Parata, a hotshot pilot with little regard for the chain of command. Finally, Porter Malik captains the pleasure yacht Don Juan, an incongruous oasis of luxury and excess in the fleet.

Last Fleet: Playtest (Session 2 of 3)
David Morrison runs for Diana Moon, Donogh, Leandro Pondoc, and Zach
Whether by human error or technological treachery, the Fleet is lured into a Mneumotic ambush. Talos takes the fight to the Roaches, buying time for the Fleet to escape but risking his own life in the process. Commander Cascade and Lieutenant Soto expertly command the Fleet to minimise casualties, but their conflicting approaches bring them into conflict. And Porter Malik keeps the home fires burning, ready to receive the crew of the Horizon for some much needed R&R.
