RPG.NET: Where people should be getting fanfic ideas

Most civilian craft that escaped the destruction of the Twelve Colonies were at the rally point set by President Roslin. However, out on the fringes of the
colonies, another rally point was broadcast. The smugglers, pirates and fugitives that congregated in and around Hera and the outer reaches of the colonies
maintained a certain 'honour among thieves,' and kept their own broadcast codes, which allowed those outside the law to communicate without the
authorities being able to figure out what they were saying. Sure, the authorities would break every code eventually, but the codes changed every few months,
often in ways that were designed to trick the authorities into believing that a previous code was still being used. It was in this smugglers' code that
the second rally point was broadcast.




I want you to help me build the fleet of ships that responded to this broadcast. I've given a few examples below of the types of suggestions that I'm
looking for, but I'd like to set a few additional guidelines as well:




- This is for a campaign that runs parallel to the main BSG story, but for the most part, won't intersect with it.


- All suggestions should be for the sort of ship that would have been able to decode the broadcast; in other words, ships crewed by people from the
underworld and the fringes of society. Think more Firefly than standard BSG.


- No Battlestars, battleships, hijacked experimental military superships, etc. I want this to be a campaign where the PCs have to survive with only their
wits and don't have the option of going head-to-head with a cylon basestar.

Now that is a fanfic/fic idea waiting to happen. There are several others threads on there that I either want to play or just write about.
Especially the Chthulu superheroes (Supervillains are actually CoC Investigators) and the incredible Long Stairs thread.
