⟡ Piggybacking off of Ash's space setting just to have an environment where we can reunite our boys Ikamo and Hans (we forced them to be friends through an art rpg group a long time ago)

The gist is that Ikamo is on the run and has snuck onto the Merkavah as a stowaway. The crew has no idea that he is there but keep hearing strange noises in the vents and finding their things misplaced, leading them to believe the ship is haunted. They do find Ikamo eventually and have to work out what they're going to do about him.

General "anything goes" sci-fi. There's highly advanced civilizations, small settler colonies, space faring technology and magic.

The crew of The Merkavah call the "outer systems" home - the running joke is that its the Milky Way galaxy and they originate from Earth. Their technology is analog and way behind the curve compared to other space faring civilizations, however they've successfully evolved their species (with some help from bioengineering) into metahumans or mutants that have a better chance at surviving unknown worlds (in theory). They have no concept of magic beyond what science can explain.
