Being totally unarmed was once a realistic option taken in areas infested with pirates. You let them take whatever they wanted if they let you go. Many a poor ship got away with it and that's what this salvage crew does. They have nothing worth taking so they're left alone. And as Astra says no matter how well armed you are, you won't win most fights.

But she's not mentioning that the whole crew is skilled in hand-to-hand combat. Someone wants to take the crew, they'll find them very hard to keep.

These are not necessarily Aordians by birth. There are numerous human inhabited worlds not in the republic as set out in Tales of S.I.G..

I'm, of course, really enjoying the space setting. The illustrative effect you're using looks great. And good point about the atmosphere determining the decomposition of the bodies.

Of course, some Pirates wouldn't be averse to taking the female crew as the prize!!

Plus, I saw in the Author notes - they some tough cookies!! I need to read author notes first haha!

Not necessarily. Pirates are eminently susceptible to bribes.

That plan sounds reasonable enough, unless the pirates decide these gals are saleable on the black market as well.

Escape and evasion tactics. Sure you get caught but they can't keep you. Hand to gun only needs to work once for one to even the odds.

"Hand-to-hand" combat presumes the other guys will bring just their hands. Hand-to-gun combat is... pretty much not a thing.

bravo1102 at 10:31AM, July 12, 2018

They're skilled in hand to hand combat so they'd be difficult to keep.

What if they build a powerful weapon with the materials they were able to obtain?

agentny003 at 4:46AM, July 12, 2018

Oops sorry about that.

These aren't Star Fleet engineers or Macgyver. ;)

Going into Pirate areas unarmed?????I say A good Blaster is what you need for a Pirate!

bravo1102 at 1:30AM, July 12, 2018

It has historical basis. Just pay the pirates off and live and let live. Sometimes its cheaper to do that than to invest in a vast armory.

Wait. What is this? Hidden away behind a bulkhead panel a secret stash of porn. A treasure out here in the wastelands where good porn is hard to come by.
