In the Eavesdown Docks, Persephone, the Characters meet by hiring on to crew a Sandfly Class Transport called Seraphim. Their Captain is a grizzled man with a husky voice named A.E. Rhodes. Rhodes brings them on board and explains that he’s making a run along the New Canaan trade route and the crew is welcome to stay for as long as they like… assuming they don’t piss him off first.

Their first job is to deliver several pieces of subderal mining equipment to Sherman Cross on Constance in the Kalidasa System.
