Level 1 Fitch shows the PCs some of the inner workings of the Master of Stars, which help the PCs better understand other starships. Once during the adventure, the PCs can gain a +4 bonus to any non-gunnery skill check during a starship combat.
Level 2 When using the reward above, all the PCs' non-gunnery skill checks made during the same round gain the +4 bonus.
Level 3 In place of the level 1 reward, the PCs can force the crew of an enemy ship to take a –2 penalty to all non-gunnery skill checks made during the round. The use of this ability must be declared at the start of the starship combat round.
PRAYER AND REFLECTION
Level 1 The PCs gain significant insight into Iteration-177's understanding of the divine and share a portion of his intuition. A PC can gain a +2 bonus to any one Mysticism, Perception, or Sense Motive check within the Scoured Stars. This allows the PC to count as being trained in Mysticism for the duration of the adventure.
Level 2 In place of the reward above, a PC can add a +1 bonus to any one saving throw while within the Scoured Stars.
Level 3 When using either reward above, the PC can double the bonus.
ROOKIE TRAINING
Level 1 The PCs improve their allies' morale, making them more reliable in combat. Once during the adventure, the group can gain the benefit of aid another (+2 bonus) to all skill checks for 1 round.
Level 2 When using this reward, the benefit applies to both skill checks and attack rolls.
Level 3 In place of the level 1 reward once during the adventure, when the table uses an Aid Token, they gain two benefits instead of one. They cannot choose the same effect twice.
STARSHIP PRIMING
Level 1 Pleased with the PCs' review, Celita outfits the Starfinder fleet with better weapons-tracking software for targeting jinsul ships. Once during the adventure, the PCs gain a +2 bonus to any one starship combat gunnery roll, and that attack does not consume ammunition in the case of a weapon with the limited fire property.
Level 2 When using the reward above, all of the PCs' gunnery rolls during that round gain that benefit.
Level 3 In place of the level 1 reward, a PC can select any one successful starship weapon attack to count as critical damage if it deals Hull Point damage, even if the die result isn't a natural 20.
SUPPLY RUN
Level 1 Zigvigix grants the PCs priority access to some Starfinder Society equipment. Once during the adventure, each PC can requisition a weapon with an item level up to the PC's level for the duration of one mission. The group must use this ability prior to starting a new encounter, and this ability cannot be used during Part 4. The weapon comes with a full battery or magazine.
Level 2 In addition to the reward above, the PCs can also requisition a single consumable item with an item level up to the PC's level. These consumables cannot have permanent effects, and PCs who don't use them during the course of the scenario must return them at the end of the adventure.
Level 3 When using the level 1 reward, the weapon can have an item level up to the PC's level + 1.
TACTICAL PREPARATIONS
Level 1: The PCs assist overviewing the Society's default plan of engagement. The PCs can reroll any one skill check while in the same location as a fleet.
Level 2: Once during the adventure, while in the same location as a fleet, the PCs can instead activate this reward to gain a +2 bonus to each of their initiative checks for that mission.
Level 3: During a single encounter in the same location as the jinsul fleet, the PCs can activate this reward to remove any extra enemies or challenges provided by the jinsul fleet.
High Society Influence (Iteration-177) Ally boon:
Ailuros grants the PC some of their little remaining magical energy. Up to three times during the encounter, the PC can cast dimension door as a spell-like ability, using their character level as their caster level.
Iteration-177's Attention Ally boon:
The divine herald suffuses the PC's memory with divine power, manifesting as a magical effect for the duration of the encounter.
Melancholic memories grant all of the PC's weapons the benefits of the frost weapon fusion.
Phlegmatic memories grant the benefit of shield other, with Ailuros taking half the damage (up to 100 damage before they collapse).
For sanguine memories the PC can gain the benefits of greater remove condition at the start of their turn up to three times during the combat.
Surviving Companion boon:
The alien creature accompanying you decides to curiously inspect the devices. You can reroll one skill check to interface with the devices during the course of this encounter, as your alien companion inadvertently assists you with its meddling.
Looks like the hope is that Thri-Kreen and Duhm individually fire the big guns, so here's Thri-Kreen's shot with the missile launcher.
Using a node bonus as well.

I was holding up to see how the actions would play out. I'll stay with this and if Duhm doesn't fire the particle beam, I will rather than changing my action.
As Ivok moves towards the gun, Thri-Kreen and Duhm finish off the enemy ship!
SUCCESS!

In its dying breath, the Plaguebringer gifts you all with a wave of illness! Unfortunately you all have to give me a DC 17 Fortitude save, since this plague bypasses both armor and shields.
Heavy Biochem Missile Launcher:
This weapon functions identically to a heavy nuclear missile launcher, except that instead of exposing creatures onboard the target ship to medium radiation, it exposes them to a synthetic plague developed by jinsul scientists. This is an inhaled physical track disease (Fortitude DC 17) that bypasses the protections offered by armor and requiring 2 consecutive successful saves to cure. This weaponized strain is highly potent, advancing to the next stage in between each Part 4 encounter unless treated.

"Ah!" Ivok cheers in between fighting off a cough, "You are just in time! I would ask for smoothie, but I think I might something a bit stronger to fight off whatever we were hit with!"
Ivok will request a spell gem of remove affliction and an advanced x-gen gun.

We've got 3 level 8 and 3 level 7 options, so I'm thinking 3x Remove Affliction gems and 3 Antibiotic IIs to maximize our odds of not getting plagued. Also, use Iteration-177's bonus of +2 to a save on whoever rolls next.
I roll the ship initiative each round, and then I allow everyone to roll their ship checks without caring about exact posting order Gunners, please put your rolls under spoilers as these can be influenced by other players. Don’t spoiler your roleplay, though!

Oh hey! It's a Jinsul Plaguebringer! What a surprise! Since you just fought one of these things, I am going to say you already know the following:
Jinsul Plaguebringer
Large Destroyer Speed 6; Maneuverability average (turn 2); Drift 1

Shields medium 160 (forward 40, starboard 40, port 40, aft 40)

Attack (forward) heavy biochem missile launcher (10d8; 20 hexes)
Attack (turret) linked coilguns (8d4; 20 hexes)
SPECIAL Heavy Biochem Missile Launcher:
This weapon functions identically to a heavy nuclear missile launcher, except that instead of exposing creatures onboard the target ship to medium radiation, it exposes them to a synthetic plague developed by jinsul scientists. This is an inhaled physical track disease (Fortitude DC 17) that bypasses the protections offered by armor and requiring 2 consecutive successful saves to cure. This weaponized strain is highly potent, advancing to the next stage in between each Part 4 encounter unless treated.
SPECIAL Reversible:
Jinsul ships' overall shape and the positioning of their thrusters make it very easy for them to reverse their headings. The ship grants a +2 bonus to Piloting checks to perform the flip and burn stunt.
If you get above this, I’ll give you more information!

THERE APPEARS TO BE A SURPLUS OF FRESH JINSUL MEAT IN SPACE SHOULD YOU CARE TO RETRIEVE IT AND PARTAKE.
He looks at the viewscreen with the next oncoming ship and adds, NOW LET US ENSURE THAT THERE IS AN ACUTE SHORTAGE ON ANDROID, YSOKI, VESK, NUAR, HALFLING, AND SHIRREN MEAT IN SPACE TODAY.
He flips his comms over to hailing frequencies. YOU ARE NOT THE FIRST JINSUL SHIP WE'VE ENCOUNTERED TODAY... NOR THE SECOND. WE STILL FLY, THEY DO NOT. YOU'RE GONNA HAVE A BAD TIME.

I also agree with Buff-Bot's suggestion.
"Raatchet! How do you feel about getting a lock on their ship from the science station so we can hit them with our most powerful attack right from the start?"
Ivok will Engineer to Divert power to Engines.
Engineering DC 22:1d20 + 15 ⇒ (9) + 15 = 24
If Ratchet is Engineer, will Chief mate at same DC to also boost weapons.

Duhm Kaoh stays at the front arc weapons and takes a shot of the opportunity arises.
Duhm will also use the spell gem on Ivok to remove his affliction.
Caster Level Check:1d20 ⇒ 14Not sure if the bonus off the top of my head so just add that on. Ivok should be fine now.
Duhm manages to remove Ivok's disease before the start of the Starship Combat!
Buff-Bot -- Doesn't breathe, so the respiratory illness just doesn't affect him.
Duhm -- Passed
Ivok -- Cured
Jindam -- Needs to roll

I don't think Duhm can use the Antibiotic for the initial save since we're ordering with Ziggy Prime 2 minute delivery (order fullfillment by Poshkettle Industries), but he passes without it anyway.
Buff-Bot nods at Ivok's suggestion. I ALWAYS WONDERED WHY PEOPLE NEVER USE THEIR STRONGEST ATTACK FIRST.

Depending on whether we get a fresh ship or a chance to restore systems our ship may still carry damage from the previous fight. Instead of diverting power to engines I'll put power into shields.
We might want to attempt a flyby this turn to try to make sure we can get the forward arc to hit and avoid them easy access to our forward arc.
We never ended up seeing Starship Priming get used last fight, but it might be better given the level 2 benefit to get +2 to all attacks and not spend ammo would be useful right now

"I wonder if jinsul tastes as much like crab as they look." Jindam randomly comments, as he tries to avoid the disease.
Fortitude Save:1d20 + 5 ⇒ (4) + 5 = 9
"I think I'm gonna hurl!" Jindam looks for a vomit bag while prepping to pilot the ship into the next combat. "Can I get one of them remove affliction potions? I'll save it for later if I can."
I'm not familiar with this disease, so I'm not sure if I'm latent or fatigued or what? I'm all for using the priming this combat. However, assuming the map is correct, there's no way we can do a flyby attack this round, so I'm just going to move and evade.
"Let's see if they like battle as much in a minute!" Jindam pushes the ship forward into a handbrake turn to starboard facing the enemy ship.
Piloting, Evade:1d20 + 16 ⇒ (16) + 16 = 32Not sure if I have any penalties here.

You are carrying damage over. There is no fresh ship. This is meant to be tough. I totally agree that you should use every advantage you can.

Since First Skirmish didn't come up during this scenario I would ask if I could instead slot one of my other Starship boons, Defender of the Fleet (Finest Computers) to upgrade our nodes to give an additional +1 bonus. That would bring them from +2 to three checks per round up to +3 to three checks per round. That would help on piloting initiative and gunnery checks.
Buff-Bott intimidates Team Jinsul for two rounds! Duhm does not feel the mystic energy this turn, and misses his shot! Thri-Kreen spends a resolve and lands most of his shots, doing serious hurt to the Jinsul ship!

Ivok responds with a resolute, "Bah!"
"Your leg blades are weak and flimsy! They break against my armor and scale like cheap toys! And you attack with plague and disease, you are the worst and are banned from all of my gyms!"
He just blathers the frustrated, barely though out insults back at the jinsul ship as the vesk keeps working toward maintaining the ship.
Ivok will help divert power to Shields this turn. He will do this by being an engineer or by acting as chief mate if Raatchet wants to take on the Engineer role.

Seeing that Ivok has taken the engineering position, Raatchet switches over to Science and rebalances the shields, maximizing the quadrant facing the enemy ship and minimizing another quandrant that has the most shield points!
Computers DC22:1d20 + 19 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 19 + 2 = 27
I cannot yet say which quadrant is being reduced and which is being reinforced since the ships have not yet finished moving. In case the jinsul ship performs a flyby, Raatchet will do an even distribution instead of buffing up a single quadrant.

Forward Gun good to go? Awww yeah!
"I hear Jinsul legs also make excellent kindling." The mad bull retorts to the Jinsul. If we got another node lying around, Duhm Kaoh will take it this turn.
Maybe it's another space hazard, especially with heavy weights like Iteration-177 and Dhurus interfering with the battle, or maybe it is just the after effects of whatever sensate-laced drugs Dhum Kaoh put in the common ship coffee pot, but the space-time continuum ripples as the GM realizes that the subsequent ships you are up against are significantly less powerful than the first.
The Jinsul Plaguebringer and its plaguey guns disappears, to be replaced by a different and much smaller-looking jinsul ship that has been damaged in the front, and taken the same amount of hull damage, as the jinsul ship. All your ship advantages are still in place, as is everything you rolled this turn.
Since the second Plagueship failed to hit you, I'm not rolling back previous rolls, we're just moving forward with the new ship in the interest of time.
The pilot attempts a fly-by!
Piloting:1d20 + 18 ⇒ (1) + 18 = 19
.... but he is really disoriented from the ripple in spacetime, and he fails! This provokes a free attack!

I think Raatchet can do a lock on this turn that way we maximize the bonus to hit with our last missile.
Edit: Was just noted Buff-Bot already did that.
You can either target a system on their ship as Science Officer (I think engines would be a good target)
Alternatively, you can be a gunner this turn and fire the final missile yourself (I think you are tied for the best gunnery bonus at +13). That would help the accuracy a bit as Thri-Kreen would be able to fire the particle beam without penalty as well.
I think the gunnery position is slightly better here just because the bonus to hit is more likely to matter than a lock on with how much damage we do.
If you would like the engineer role, I'm happy to give cede the role to you, I just can't do a lot in the other parts of the ship compared to the skill others are bringing to the table.

Also, since you're level 8, Raatchet can broadside once every encounter once without bleeding through resolve. TBH I think Raatchet might be the best gunner.

"Holy schmokies, that thing is at the edge of the universe. I'll bring her around and head toward it." Jindam pushes the ship in a turn to bring us heading toward the new jinsul ship. He jukes and fades on the controls as he does so.
