- The First Battle of Duro - Duro is attacked during the Confederacy of Independent Systems attack on the Core Worlds in Operation Durge's Lance, the attack is lead by General Grievous as an attempt to turn the Clone Wars against The Republic. Baric Valaras, a child of four, is smuggled off of the captured orbital city by Remmy Saretti to protect the young boy from the hostile invaders. Baric's parents are killed in the attack, and the surface of his home world, Duro, is forever marred.
- The Battle of Yavin - The Epoch Date of the calender, all dates are in reference to this. Luke Skywalker destroys the First Death Star, scoring The Rebellion's first major victory against The Galactic Empire.
- Episode I: Inadvertent Rescue - The adventures of our characters begin as Baric Valaras and The Gand arrive on the Imperial controlled planet of Arkania in search of a missing boy with a suspiciously large bounty for his return. The duo finds that their target, Malloc Zephren, isn't lost but is fleeing for his life. Showing a rare bit of honor in The Star Wars Universe the duo rescues Malloc from crime boss Ket, rather than turning him in... Then again maybe they just realized they'd burned the ones paying the bounty and didn't have much other choice.
- Episode II: Attack of the Statues - Looking for a place to lay low and make a few credits the crew made a jump from Arkania, down The Hydian Way, to the remote spaceport of Port Driss. Gand found the group work providing a mercenary company backup in the escort of a group of archaeologists to the nearby planet Bilrindar. Their exploration of this planet led to a meeting with angry sentient monkeys, the discovery of an ancient Jedi Temple, a battle four stone statues that nearly killed everyone, and a bit of theft from a long forgotten library. Plus a payday at the end.
- Episode III: Revenge of the Nav - Remmy Saretti, Baric's father figure through childhood whom he is still deeply indebted, called in a favor to get Baric and his crew to take part in a bit of smuggling. Putting Baric's astrogation and piloting skills to the test the crew of The Kraken's Kiss had to navigate a pirate infested asteroid field for the chance to jump into an Imperial Blockaded system of Derra. They did so, with considerable trouble from pirates and Imperials, and delivered the medical supplies to the government as asked. After spending a few days at the port making ship repairs The Kraken's Kiss departed from Derra hoping to bypass both the Imperials and the pirates by taking a new route out of the system, it might have worked if two squads of Tie Fighters hadn't crossed their path. The Kraken's Kiss took heavy damage while fleeing The Imperial Patrol, fortunately their new astromech droid had a backup Nav Computer and they were able to make the jump into hyperspace. That jump would lead them to both triumph and despair...
- Episode IV: Seeking Refuge - The Kraken's Kiss realizes they were followed into Hyperspace by an Imperial Capital ship when leaving Derra IV; damaged, low on supplies, and surrounded by unfriendly systems the crew seeks refuge on the independent Planet Vondarc. Somewhat to their surprise they are granted permission to land, and the Imperials are turned away, though they quickly realize permission to land and freedom are quite different. After a meeting with Dalo Namore the group agrees to eliminate the threat of Imperial Intelligence agents on the Planet in exchange for ship repairs, earned trust, and their freedom to go. In their hunt for the Imperials the crew finds themselves tracking a group of unfriendly smugglers through the infrastructure tunnels in the undercity of one of Vondarc's metropolises, unsurprisingly things don't go as smoothly as planned... (To be continued...)
