If we're on a mission that's so top secret and super covert that we were sequestered away from any contact with other people, doesn't it stand to reason that it would be a bad idea to do a side job while we're on it?

There isn't any traffic to your destination. It's a backwoods world that you only heard about because of an encoded transmission. The Imperials likely send some supply ships to the area to resupply the force there, but you don't have credentials for that.

For sure!  I 100% agree with you.  I just wanted to let you know that Forim was as upset as you were "off camera".  But again, you might not have noticed.  Just didnt want you the player to think me the player was ignoring you!  Jurell is giving us enough inter party strife lol



Oh yea!  S*** rolls up hill and all ;)



I believe we never discussed insertion on the planet.  Caddy is coming up with a cover story, rather then a covert op.

Our last mission we picked up some supplies to offload as an excuse to get on the planet, and it worked out well enough.  However in the last mission, the Rebellion provided us with said goods.

I think for now, we come up with a different reason.  Import / Export comes with its own risks on a locked down imperial world.  I tend to Agree with you that we should find a different way onto the planet this time around.  We can talk about this IC in Hyperspace.

Oi!  There you go, throwing me under the bus!  ;p

Roads? Where we're going, we don't need Roads.  We have Jurell!

Now I just have an image of Jurell bulldozing through Stormtroopers to clear a path.  xD

Hmm.   We had a metric ton of unused advantages there.   Caddy may know quite literally nothing about this sector of space or indeed how to navigate it, but there will be various bits of information on these worlds.   Backwater worlds require 'something' ... that something is probably retrieved from a nearby-ish world/worlds/location.   Would it be a huge stretch to find intuit a path from A to B and use to locate a suitable freighter to 'commandeer' (maybe a distress beacon resulting in a hijack or something like that?)

Basically I'm asking if I can use some of those advantages to see a 'piece useful information' - in this case an economical reason to approach the planet we want to.   I am concerned that doing something 'covert' will be spotted considering the forces they had assigned to this place.   Doing something 'dangerously legal' is more my style :-)

Thoughts?

There is 4 seats in there!  its not crowded yet ;)

However you plotted the first jump away where we decide our approach, not the whole thing to the refueling station yet.

Caddy is just talking about one step past where we are at.

I should point out that the Sunset Shimmer is linked to multiple instances of criminal activity and may be flagged as a rebel vessel. The Imperial Navy all have lists of such vessels. It's possible that a sector out on the fringes of civilization might not have an updated copy yet, but if you try to hide in plain sight the game might be over before it begins.

When we hit our refueling station, Jospi might be able to alter the Sunset Shimmer's silhouette so as not to give us away visually.  We'll still need different transponders.  Jospi is trained in Skullduggery and can find what's needed.

Oh, a belated response to Jurell:  I wasn't supposed to have 4 in AGI and INT.  My mistake.  It has been fixed and now I am trained in every one of my career and specialization skills.

Kraken:  Jospi didn't question your computer skills, he didn't want the hyperdrive activated until it was cleared of any potential sabotage.  The navicomputer is a computer, the hyperdrive is an engine.

If Roger the Droid interfaces directly with another Droid, for example Hypno, it will upgrade one dice on its check. Otherwise it has to use a datapad, like a filthy organic.

I was looking at getting roger look at the ships logs to see when that interface was installed.

Look for power drains, see access logs, etc.

I am afraid of letting Roger interface with Hypno, because Hypno could re-program Roger.

Force - any thoughts on my post: msg #115 please?

Thanks :-)

As far as the most knowledgeable person knows, there are no space ports on this world and no shipping to or from it. That's right, it's even more backwards than Tatooine.

You might be better off claiming to be lost.

You know... that I can do!  LOL :-)  And I'll quite 'truthfully' blame a rogue astromech droid....

OK.   Sounds like we have a plan.

We need a couple of things before this is done.

1) Silohette change
2) Some reason to be travelling space - so we should pick up a cargo... or we could be say that we are shipping a person... though I think that would be a harder sell.  Having something 'of use' to the outback planet (and maybe some luxuries from the Empire chiefs) would no doubt sweeten the deal.


Any thoughts?

Jurell could be leading a pampered princess and her retenu to hunt some exotic animals.

GM Need a DC for Roger still, Can we assume 2D?  or would that be a bit harder?

I didn't know Forim was a princess!

2d is fine.

You know it!

Dont meant to harass.  I just know roger irl and he has a small posting window.  If we miss it he needs another day lol

Hunting animals... erhm.  I suppose that is possible.  The retinue side is fine.

But that doesn't give us a good story for 'staying here' or indeed a useful tool to use as a bribe (the luxuries)

The cockpit of the falcon is a 4 seater:

See the 2 tall seats behind the pilot seats?

Agreed though, that with 4 people it is crowded, even with 4 seats :)

I think the two person cockpit is bare minimum crew. I think it benefits from also having a navigator, an engineer, and a comms officer. also gunners for the turrets.

That is how I saw it to.  Two are required to FLY the ship, but someone else to maybe manage sensors, coms, navicomputer, etc.  Helpful, but not needed.

Kraken, just a reminder that Jospi is INT 3, Computers 2.  If one of those exceeds your own characteristics (which I highly doubt), he can add an additional Yellow die to your Computers roll while you're slicing.  If not, he can still add a Blue boost die to your check.  He is heading to the hold to check out the access point, so he's available if you want him.

In reply to Jospi Renning (msg # 131):

I've added my CS to my character details, accessable in "The Cast" or you can click my name.  I've got an Int of 4 and Computers of 2.  I'll add a boost when I roll, thank you.

FYI, I meant to be clear with the Forim to X that they were private messages - but instead of doing them as private, i didn't care if everyone read them.

I also don't care if they went general and caddy heard them, he would have just been more formal if that was the case.
