Force Majeure

25 years after Palpatine improbably returned and was even more improbably defeated, the New Republic has fragmented. On the quiet Outer Rim planet of Talamere the inhabitants go about their daily business untroubled by the events of the wider Galaxy and try to put their pasts behind them. But some things can never stay buried for long, and the burning question remains - does everyone deserve a shot at Redemption? Cast!

There's only one way off the planet - straight up the side of a skyscraper, break the cloud cover and call for evac!

Beneath an ominous and unnatural cloud, on a world covered in unsettling goo, and with bugs assaulting them from all sides, Fireteam: Sabre Harmony are caught in the fight of their lives!

The downside to having dealt with some weird stuff even by the usual standards means that Fireteam: Sabre Harmony is getting a reputation, and that means a jaunt to a garden world that isn't looking quite so much like Eden to investigate exactly what's going on...  Clouds roil and suspicions boil - it's the Mecha Hack!

It appears Councillor Thorncrest is somewhat under the weather, and the confines of the tomb may not be totally agreeing with her.

Tragically, it appears that while our host may have rejoined us, the good Colonel is still suffering from something of an ague and is not in the best of spirits. Moreover, his choice of chaperone is clearly wanting, and we fear that they may not harbour good intentions for the continuation of our exploration...

We are disappointed to disclose that we may well have attracted some unwelcome attention from unsavoury sorts during our journey to the Ashen Wastes, but we would ask you to have faith in our pilot, who will ensure your safe arrival with only minimal disruptions.  We would ask that you make sure your travel straps are secure, as we may find ourselves forced to make some energetic manoeuvres...  Please join us as we discover the Doom that Came to Sanctaris! Links: The title of this episode is inspired by a TTRPG created by friend of the show Seamus Conneelly (of the wonderful Cannibal Halfling Games), wherein your Fleet is desperately trying to outrun those who pursue them while their resources dwindle. It has always stuck with me because not only is it a cool name, it took me ages to realise that he meant "Stern" as in the direction on a ship, as opposed to the the attitude. Anyway, buy it here: https://seamus-conneely.itch.io/a-stern-chase-is-a-long-chase and also check out Cannibal Halfling Games at https:/

Few things are so fine, we are sure you will agree, as a flight in the Colonel's personal airship The Aurora.
