We needed a backstory for our Traveller sci-fi RPG ...

This was my submission:


We just wanted to dance!

It was our dream: tour the galaxy and dance.

We caught the eye of the great-great-great grandson of the legendary Simon Cowell, in association with Celebrity Starships, they agreed to be our corporate sponsors. They donated a vessel for our travelling resort and talent show.

We called ourselves STARSTRUCK, and we were all ready for our whirlwind tour of 21 inner-system planets.

We were livin’ the dream!

But the moment we made planetfall for our first gig, we were harassed by Port Authorities, and were thrown off the planet.

Now every planet we try to visit runs us off and tries to shoot us on-sight.

They never even explained why!

And that’s how we became outlaw smugglers...
