Playing SWN

I am currently playing in a Stars Without Numbers campaign and have been since May. My character is a 5th level psychic majoring in precognition, minoring in biopsionics, telepathy and Photokinesis, he is a lesser prince in a matriarchal space faring vagabond clan (a dubious rank even within his clan) Still you can't be an interstellar vagabond without resources. This has led (after a series of successful adventures) to the shared party ownership of a custom Free Trader its around 1500m cubed and it looks like a bird it's called the Albatross.
He shares the ship with the expert technician who approached his clan for aid on a previous adventure he is a Quatah an avian race with bright plumage, named Vrinn, a member of Everin's clans elite guard, a woman called Dane Kestra, and a rescued warrior from a previous adventure known as Gustav, there is a female pilot, Sophia, and a ship technician Adler, who were also rescued from before.
Vrinn is played by another person the rest are henchpersons and hirelings. Having so many crew rescued makes for a really loyal crew, and we can't seem to stop rescuing people. That may be because Everin is a healer and a medtech and fights death and the Quotah have a racial vow not to attack humans first, our gm continues to invent ways for us to express these traits.
On one mission We revived a group of Hochogs (bore like warrior race) who we had just beaten in a fight and returned them to their captain thereby earning their respect and friendship.
This time it was a personnel extraction that ended up not only being the scientist but his daughter and a man that was being tested for "pain tolerance". We seem to have gained a reputation for being operatives with a heart.
We are still making money, and levels, as long as having a heart doesn't bankrupt us we can keep doing it.
