Podcast Insights
Content Themes
Centers on themes of heists, gang wars, cosmic dangers, and political intrigue, with episodes involving the crew of the Scapegoat navigating conflicts with ruthless corporations and uncovering cryptic signals while facing high-stakes adventures and unexpected twists.
THE VERIDIAN EXPANSE IS A PLACE WHERE DEBTS ARE PAID IN BLOOD.
In a galaxy of corporate cold wars and fading fringe worlds, the crew of the Scapegoat is just trying to stay flying. From high-stakes planetary heists to the silent terrors of deep-space shipwrecks, one bad jump is all that separates a payday from a cold grave.
Dark Star Adventurecast is a narrative sci-fi actual play. We play Stars Without Number live, and edit what happens into a story worth following. If The Expanse and Firefly are your kind of sci-fi, give it a listen.
MEET THE CREW:
- Thorne (Brian): spent a decade in a corporate prison for something he didn't do. He runs the crew now. The man who framed him is still out there.
- Felix (Scott): hacker who changed his name, his face, and his voice to infiltrate the company that murdered his brother. The plan is still ongoing.
- Haleyy (Stephanie): fighter, biopsionic. Something changed in her head a while back and her powers haven't stopped growing since.
- Robert (Doja): the pilot. Somewhere out there, copies of him are trying to kill the crew.
- …and Star Master Jeff, who built this sector one bad decision at a time.

Eleven rounds. That's the clock Felix is racing when the crew gets pulled back into Causeway 3's server room mid-hack, three swarms of electro-beetles closing in from every angle while a Virodyne patrol boat spins up to intercept. Thorne throws a flare. Haleyy sweeps them back with her bare hands, twice. Robert drops his gun, pulls a knife, and rolls across the floor covered in bug grease rather than take a hit standing up. All three of them are buying Felix time to pull the one thing they came for: confirmation of where Strake took Voss. He gets that, and something else nobody asked for, buried four subsystems down under a name that means nothing to any of them yet. Getting out of the room turns out to be the easy part.
