As mentioned, you can use aid tokens for additional purposes in this encounter. Here's the text straight out of the scenario:
Aid Tokens: During this encounter in the gunnery phase, tables can use an Aid Token to call on weapon fire from other Starfinder starships partaking in the greater fight. Attempt a gunnery check with a bonus equal to 4 + 1-1/2 × the tier of the PCs’ ship. On a success, the target enemy vessel takes 2d8 damage per tier of the PCs’ starship. Unlike other Aid Token benefits, a table can activate this benefit up to three times (but still only once from a single Aid Token) during the encounter.
Alternatively, a table can use one Aid Token to force one of the jinsul assault craft to temporarily disengage from combat. The enemy starship ceases firing for the current and following round when an Aid Token is used in this manner. Only one jinsul assault craft can be affected in this manner.
----------------------------------
If you use the token to have a Starfinder ship fire upon a jinsul assault ship, please specify which jinsul ship (orange or magenta) and drop me the attack and damage rolls. Alternatively, you can just tell me to use it to fire on the enemy ships and I'll use it to attack in the most advantageous way I can see.
As stated above, you can use an aid token 3 times to fire and one more time to force a jinsul ship to disengage for two rounds.
Remember, the faster you use the aid tokens, the faster you may get another one!

I vote we use it to fire at the Orange ship once it moves.
Will the range affect the shot? Should we draw them in closer to the Starfinders ships before using the token. Either way here are some rolls just in case.
Also, meta gaming a bit, but this is the final scenario right? So we have until the 28th to finish it?
The text of the aid token isn't very specific about what ship shoots, what weapon is actually being shot, etc. So I'm going to treat it as a straight up attack vs AC roll with no modifiers. I figure might as well keep it simple.
And yep, we have until the 28th to finish this. Although if we finish the starship combat early, we can still transition to the shipboard combat. In fact, Redelia's table has already finished both the starship combat AND the shipboard combat, so her table is just taking it easy and waiting for the 28th.
DM Kludde was the one who inspired me as he did the same for us when I played a game that he GM'd. But this particular intro video I put together for you guys. And I did leave the ooc tags in there on purpose because it seemed funnier that way. Glad you liked it!

I agree with the intro vid. Super cool. I can absolutely picture the Jinsul capital ship as a huge derelict death star like ship.
I would love to push through this scenario and be able to board the capital ship as well before next Friday.
Just want to say I am loving these specials. How often do they take place?
Have an aid token! (no boost)
Hey guys. I'm having a busy day and will be hopping another flight in the evening. I'll try to post beforehand but I'll be delayed about half a day.
As we're reaching the end of the special, please ensure your character details are correct on slide 1. I'll be using those details to fill out your chronicles.
If anyone needs special notations or handling of your chronicle, let me know!
As we've more or less concluded, I'm happy to indulge anyone's curiosity. Any spoilery or non spoilery questions about the scenario? Feel free to ask anything!
Hi guys, here's a special request from the Venture team. They ask that everyone fill out this review of what went right and what went wrong with the special so that they can improve on things in the future.
Only the Venture team will see the results and your submission is completely anonymous. The Venture team thanks you for sending this in!
Hey everyone, there is one additional little twist and I'll need each of you to come back to me with an answer. Everyone earns 2 fame and 2 reputation for your slotted faction.
In addition, everyone gets 1 additional reputation with the Second Seekers. However, you can pick either Second Seekers (Luwazi Elsebo) or Second Seekers (Jadnura). I'm going to assume you pick Luwazi unless you tell me differently. Thanks!
And here is the first draft of everyone's chronicles. Let me know if there are any errors, or if you require any edits, changes, or additional notations!
In about a day from now, I'll submit everyone's details to the con organizers for reporting. Then about a day after that I'll mark this game as inactive.

Thank you all for a great game, especially our wonderful GM.
I think I'd like to opt for Second Seekers (Jadnura) if you would.
Otherwise, the Chronicle sheet looks good. It has some nice boons on it too. :-)
Do you know how we document the Scoured Stars Field Experience? This is Sharmain's second game so it will apply to her and will bring her in-line with Zac.
Everyone, I forgot to initial the experience and fame boxes. I've reissued all the chronicles at the same link to include the initials. Sorry for the oversight!
Kato, congrats on leveling up!!
Sharmain, I've updated your chronicle sheet to apply Scoured Stars Field Experience. Is this how you want it to look? It is currently +1 to Jadnura's Second Seekers and +4 to Wayfinders. Let me know if you'd like to have your faction reputation totaled up differently as you can choose whatever factions you wish for which you have a faction boon.
Awesome game. Thank you Bigboom!
Let me know if you are running any other games and you need an explorer to come along.
Also Kato started with 4 fame and 2 Xp. and 448 credits
So he leveled up!! That's my first pfs or sfs character to level up!!
If you're looking for another game, my session two table of 1-10 The Half-Alive Streets is currently full with no one on the waitlist. However, I get the feeling one of the players is going to be a no-show.
So if you haven't played this one before and if you're interested, drop a post here and I'll put you down as first on the waitlist!

Hi Guys! I'm just waiting to ensure Sharmain confirms her chronicle is correct before I submit this table's information for reporting. Thanks for your patience!!
Alrighty! Table info submitted for reporting! I'll mark this game inactive in about a day from now.
