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.

Charli contacts Buff-Bot on the com unit. "I'd take you up on that holo grenade dance party, but I am seeing jinsul explosions everywhere I look! I think we may be all busy again soon!"
Landing sensor data streamed from the forward Starfinder ships depicts a gray planet awash in a faint yellow glow, its crust rippling with seismic energy. As the planet's surface appears on the viewscreen, a tiered pit emerges, its sides pitching downward so steeply they seem to disappear into the planet's core. A golden light rises from the center, gradually building in intensity and illuminating a crowd of frenzied jinsuls that cavort around the perimeter.
As the First Seekers' starship lands near the pit, all onboard and personal communications devices blaze with divine light and shriek with feedback. Below, a titanic being that vaguely resembles a jinsul with hundreds of eyes claws its way out of the pit. Banners float around the being, as though chronicling its many battle victories. The voice of the jinsul-thing reverberates through the wailing static, bellowing out a challenge.
“I AM DHURUS THE CONQUEROR! OUR DESTINY IS IN REACH! GROVEL BEFORE—”
Just then, a small figure emerges from the dust on the ruined planet below, walking out from a dust storm toward the jinsul behemoth. It's Iteration-177! As it walks, it doubles, then triples in size, with tendrils of golden light floating off of it. The being, clearly a humanoid android, takes on new features as it swells with divine light: the middle limbs of an izalguun, the four eyes of a mentrasi, and the bat-like wings of a nelentu. Its many limbs pound the ground in anger as it shouts, “And I am Ailuros, and I speak for those of the Scoured Stars who reject your heresy, Dhurus!”
The two divine entities rush at each other and collide, causing a shock wave of energy that topples nearby perimeter structures as the two fall into the pit. As they descend, flashes of light punctuate their battle. The pulsing static and piercing feedback fade as communications devices return to normal. First Seeker Jadnura takes advantage of the sudden opening, shouting directions to those listening. “All Starfinders, advance on the pit! We must stop Dhurus!”
You land on the surface, and scramble to face what awaits you. The planet's surface is rugged and desolate. Conveyed by powerful tactical walkers, Dhurus's elite warriors advance upon you.
CLOMP! CLOMP! Pew-pew!

Jindam moves forward but is unable to get close enough to really lead the team in a quick job. So, instead, he simply fires off a shot at the nearest warrior/walker.

Good morning. Was playing a live Discord Table last night, sorry.
Duhm Kaoh starts the battle right by casting haste upon himself and his allies. "Lets light them up!" He then starts rushing across the battlefield, shoving his back up against the cliff wall.
Haste
Are the Jinsul the 'pilots' of vehicles that they're inside, or are they riding the drones like mounts, or is this a 'power armor' situation. I ask because it affects whether I'm aiming at them or the walkers. If they're riding it, or it's power armor, I'm aiming at them, and if they're vehicles, I'm aiming at the vehicles.
The jinsul crews are riding inside the Walkers. Each Walker is crewed by two Jinsul, so I will be differentiating the crews even further -- the Green Walker Crew includes a Green and Blue Mechanic. The Purple Walker crew includes Purple and Pink mechanic. Inside the vehicles, the jinsuls have improved cover (AC+8). You can target them individually, but that might prove difficult.

You can board or disembark from a vehicle as a move action. Doing so while the vehicle is in motion requires a successful Acrobatics or Athletics check; see Boarding on page 285.
If two vehicles are engaged and you are a passenger, you can attempt to move from one vehicle to the other as a move action that provokes attacks of opportunity. This is like boarding a vehicle in normal combat, but it also requires a successful Acrobatics or Athletics check with a DC equal to 5 + the KAC of the vehicle you’re boarding. Failure by less than 5 means that you are unable to board the other vehicle and remain on your vehicle. If you fail by 5 or more, you fall from the vehicle and land prone.
Ivok bounds forward toward the mechanical menace with the incredible speed Duhm's haste grants. Leaping onto the side the vehicle he tears his claws in as he clamors up the metal sheeting until reaching the cockpit. Without hesitation he tears open the door and flings himself in.
While stretching his hands and shoulders Ivok appraises the pair of pilots. "Now this is much better!", he declares in Jinsul. "Now we can speak face to face."

Going through the walker specs in his head, Raatchet says, "RATZ!!! Those walkers are hardened. I'm going to try and snipe the green-looking jinsul inside!! Ivok, get the green one! I'll cover you best I can!!"
Raatchet will delay his turn until after Buff-Bot or Jindam's turn. Totally up to you both what you do on your turn, but I'm hoping that between the two of you, a Get 'Em and/or Clever Feint debuff can be put on the green jinsul. After the two of them have executed their turns...
Raatchet activates combat tracking on the green jinsul and takes a shot!!

Coordinated Shot will also apply +1 to ranged attacks against the two I'm threatening as long as I'm not the one giving cover.
Also I'll post it after their turn again, but with my electrostatic field they will take 1d6 electricity damage for every successful melee hit against me.

Jindam attempts to dodge the ramming mecha.
Reflex Save, DC 13:1d20 + 12 ⇒ (18) + 12 = 30No whammy no whammy...Stop!
With the amphetamine rush of the haste rushing through him, Jindam pushes forward, attempting to go after the vehicle his friend isn't about to commandeer. He screams, "Tzigvigix!" as he moves.
This draws an AOO from the green walker if that's possible and possibly from the purple if it has reach. Already moved on the map the full 60ft of movement from haste. Taking a full attack on the purple one after movement.

Clever improvisations spending a free resolve to use improved get 'em on everyone within 60 ft. That should be green mech, green jinsul, and blue jinsul, and be +2 to attack AND damage.

I'm not 100% the rules for critting vehicles, but if they can be then Jindam's second attack would crit for some extra damage and 1d6 burn. I'm also not sure how burn affects things with hardness.
Extra Jindam Crit Fire Damage:2d6 + 7 ⇒ (5, 2) + 7 = 14
Depending on where the green Jinsul ends up, it more to Raatchet's intent to shoot blue with the new Get 'Em bonus rather than deal with prone penalty. If the jinsul is moved out of the vehicle then that would be a great boon to Raatchet's shot, even with prone bonuses.
Duhm activates his forcefield. Ivok climbs up into the Green Walker to exchange traditional vesk and jinsul cultural greetings. Buff Bot feints and hits the Green Jinsul with his grativiton pistol.
In Jinsul, you all hear a bunch of harried clicks that translate to "Aiiiiiiiiieeeeeeeee!"
Falling Damage:2d6 ⇒ (4, 3) = 7
Raatchet fires on the down Green mechanic!
Meanwhile, Jindam dives out of the way of the green walker, and shoots it. The vehicle’s hardness resists most of the fire damage, but Jindam hit a weak spot with one of his shots!
Also adjusted damage from one of Jindam’s previous shots for the hardness of the vehicle.

"Oh my you are going to be sorry. I can't tell you how many jinsul I've seen Ivok tear limb from limb. This is going to be messy." Thri-Kreen tries to demoralize blue before hitting him with a mind thrust.
The jinsul capital ship explodes, sending the surrounding ships fleeing into space and allowing the Starfinder fleet to provide air support on Bastiar-5.
Table GMs, the Starship mission is closed and the Starfinder Advantage condition is now in effect.
PCs in the Starfinder fleet's location can automatically boost and pass an Aid Token without consuming any resources or needing to succeed on a check. Alternatively, if they use an unboosted Aid Token in the Starfinder fleet's location for any benefit that does not require a boost to use, they still gain the boosted effect.
Blue takes full damage from Thri-Kreen's mind thrust!
★ --- ★ --- ★ --- ★
It's Team Jinsul's turn! No one is driving the Green Tactical Walker now, which had been going full speed when it attempted to ram Jindam. By vehicle rules, this means it still keeps going on its present course... right until it crashes into the cannon wall!
It does a bunch of damage to the canyon wall, and rocks fall all around the Tactical Walker! The Tactical Walker takes all this collision damage itself, minus its own hardness! The vehicle slumps, mostly broken, but still driveable with a penalty!
Blue full attacks Ivok, or tries to do so, anyway!

Ivok holds himself firm in the face of the pair of jinsuls up until the moment one is flung out of the window the car.
With that matter settled the vesk turns to the remaining jinsul and is about to announce some slogan more appropriate to an action packed vid-cast when he is slammed into the side of the vehicle as it comes to a sudden halt on the ridge wall.
Watching the jinsul now flail as into the heavy armor Ivok brushes the attacks off. "You treat your vehicles as poorly as your bodies! I expected much better fight! Thri-Kreen told you about my strength, but I think you need a personal demonstration!"
He then matches the jinsuls bladed attacks with claws and muscle.

He watches as the Jinsul slashes at air before being torn into by his Vesk buddy.
-ERE. ERM... YES... YOU APPEAR TO BE IN A SATISFACTORY TACTICAL POSITION.
He turns his attention to the other walker. I DO BELIEVE THAT CONTINUING TO OCCUPY A NARROW TACTICAL POSITION IS DISADVANTAGEOUS. MOVING OUT. OBSERVATION: IVOK HAS THE OTHER WALKER UNDER CONTROL, REMAINDER OF FORCE MAY FOCUS ON THIS ONE.

I'm hoping that doesn't provoke, if it obviously would I'll use acrobatics and only move half speed, if it is less obvious, I guess I'll take my chances.

Jindam continues to talk advantage of the pulsating haste effect, which makes time feel slower and his little legs a lot faster. He moves forward and takes another fishing expedition on the purple walker.

I forgot to include Improved Get 'em on my attacks and damage. I doubt a 15 hits it any more than a 13, but that should be 4 extra damage on the crit. You may have already included that.

Buff-Bot considers the position he's in. LETS TAKE DOWN THIS WALKER. RAATCHET, ACKNOWLEDGED, I'LL ATTEMPT TO GET HIS ATTENTION.
Improved Get 'em on the walker, Clever Feint on Purple Jinsul for Raatchet
In Jinsul: DO YOU WISH FOR A LESSON IN FLYING WITHOUT LOCAL PROPULSION LIKE YOUR FRIEND?, hey says while brandishing his graviton pistol...

Alright, Duhm Kaoh is back.
Duhm Kaoh rushes up to the walker, Sintered Inubrix Greataxe in hands. He swings his axe down upon the robot's leg!
Inubrix:
Nicknamed “ghost iron”, inubrix is the softest of the starmetals. Due to the metal’s unique structure, inubrix molecules can realign to pass through submolecular spaces in denser materials. Inubrix sees use in complex machinery, especially in collapsible or miniaturized technologies. In its pure form, inubrix is too soft to function as a building material. Items using inubrix are made of an alloy of inubrix and another metal, often platinum, the dense molecular structure of the latter serving to anchor the former in place.
Inubrix alloy weapons and ammunition ignore hardness of 10 or less. If a critical hit effect from an inubrix weapon requires a saving throw, the save DC increases by 2. This increase also applies to the injection DC +2 critical hit effect, provided the weapon doing the injecting, such as the dart of a needler pistol, is made of inubrix. A melee weapon made of inubrix alloy can also pass slightly into other solid objects, giving the wielder extra leverage for disarm attempts; this advantage grants a melee weapon made of inubrix alloy the disarm special property.

Jindam fires once again on the walker, scratching at it once again with his first shot! Ivok throws the blue jinsul into the controls of the green walker, and kills him! Thri-Kreen demoralizes Purple, and mind thrusts him!
Purple Will Save:1d20 + 8 - 2 ⇒ (8) + 8 - 2 = 14
Purple takes full damage! Raatchet then snipes at the purple driver!
Then Buff-Bott and Duhm Kaoh take turns hacking at the Purple Tactical Walker, Duhm Kaoh breaks right into that walker ankle! Now both tactical walkers are broken!
Broken Vehicles, p. 228 CRB:
While broken, the vehicle takes a –2 penalty to its AC and collision DC, its Piloting modifier decreases by 2, and its full speed and mph speed are halved.

It is Team Jinsul’s turn! A pissed purple jinsul attempts to drive the broken purple walker. As much as he’d like to ram Thri-Kreen, Jindam is in the way.
Piloting:1d20 + 17 - 2 ⇒ (2) + 17 - 2 = 17
Uh-oh! He failed the check on this rough terrain! Uncontrolled Direction:1d6 ⇒ 1
In his luck, the vehicle still lurches into Jindam’s general direction.
This will provoke attacks of opportunity from both Buff-Bot and Duhm Kaoh.
Jindam Reflex DC 11 to dive out of the way or this happens:
Duhm misses with the attack as the leg steps out of his reach, but the mad bull doesn't give up. He rushes after the walker and takes another swing at it.

Throwing the Jinsul off the console Ivok begins looking through the controls and toggling systems between the flashing alerts. Bringing up the autopilot he tries to command it in a gruff jinsul to bring it alongside the other walker.
As he hopes the autopilot accepts his commands, he readies his claws to smash into jinsul controlled controls.
If the autopilot accepts my commands: Swift action activate autopilot, move action to direct it, standard action to attack or ready attack on approach?

Buff-Bot notes his lack of effectiveness and opts to take aim at the purple mechanic. YOUR SEAT HAS ALREADY BEEN SPOKEN FOR BY IVOK. I SUGGEST YOU VACATE BEFORE IVOK REMOVES YOU.

Hmmph. Come to think of it, the auto-pilot would probably object to ramming another Tactical Walker. Yeah, let's go with you going adjacent to the other walker unless you can find someone else to pilot!
Ivok rides the Green Walker to be close enough to the Purple Walker that he can attack it!

Jindam jumps out of the way of the walker.
Reflex Save, DC 11 Don't roll a 1:1d20 + 12 ⇒ (6) + 12 = 18I didn't roll a 1
Seeing purple do the Wilhelm scream and go splat on the ground, and seeing the purple walker lurching like a drunk middle schooler at a dance, Jindam decides to attempt firing at the remaining uninjured mechanic instead after backing away from the walker.
Moved on map, haste still in effect, so move+full attack on Pink. I don't think there's a Get 'Em on it, but if there is, these are all at +2.
