Sounds like some great adventures guys. Krayt, some of your movie tie-in bits.
The guys and I have just started role-playing again, so it's now minis one week and RPG the next. This time round I'm trying to move slightly away from the Epic save the galaxy adventures and try and give a real experience of living in the Star Wars universe. I want to visit seedy space stations (Darknon Station), glamorous space Stations (Kabray), famous locations (Coruscant & Tatooine) and just live Star Wars.
The two players are running three PCs each, but I've started two PCs seperate, effectively running two game together.
It's 10 years after the Clone Wars, with it's scars still being felt across the galaxy. The first group, 4 PCs, are crew on a huge bulk freighter running salvage from Geonosis back to the planet Argos in the Blood Drift* in the employ of the Trade Alliance. The Trade Alliance although many hundreds of years old was boosted by the collapse of the Trade Federation and is a Niemodian, Muun & Gran conglomerate based in the Blood Drift.
At the last minute the crew are joined by Director Gorn, the Niemodian who owns (or claims to, and has proof that he does) the freighter. Other crew member inclide six Muun Guards, four pilots, four ex-CIS commando's and two engineers. The Frieghter itself, Star Trader IV, is four miles long, but mostly compartmentalised containters hence the small crew. There is a tunnel that runs the length of the ship allowing crew to use mini-swoop bikes to travel the length of the ship quickly.
There's a murder. A Muun guard found dead. Things get worse and it turns out the salvage is anything but, it's a cargo of active battle droids. The PCs find themselves locked out of the command decks and it's soon evident that Director Gorn is behind events.
It turns out Director Gorn was sacked by the Trade Alliance and is now seeking revenge by crashing this ship into the Argos Capital City and killing millions including the Trade Federation Ruling Council. The droids are just a backup.
PCs manage fight off scores of droids, change the ships course and evacute before the freighter dives into the systems Sun. Despite destroying millions of credits of starship the PCs are commended for their actions, primarily due to one of the surviving Muun Guard turning out to be the son of one of the Trade Alliance Ruling council.
The other two PCs, well they were involved in a Resistence movement on the planet Garqi. Farmers were protesting about new high Imperial taxes, but the Empire responded with military force. Although nothing could be done to stop the Imperials here it has led to the PCs looking into starting a full fledged Rebellion against the Empire.
I can't say too much of what is planned as Dreadtech will no doubt read this, but I do intend to include Dark Lords, Jedi, Starship Combat, New Worlds, Old Worlds, aliens of all varieties and famous cameo's.
