I'm not quite sure where this belongs, the Other d20 games forum seems more to do with rules and releases, so apologies if I've misplaced this.
Some background: Rebellion-era Star Wars game, about 6 months after Battle of Yavin. The PCs are visiting the ruins on Yavin 4 for reasons that are a bit too complicated to get into. On arrival on the planet, they trigger a probe droid left by the Imperial forces when they sacked the place, in case the Rebels came back (better safe than sorry, and it's only one droid, so hardly a waste of resources).
In character they figure they have enough time to make a quick recon of the ruins, and decided to land despite the risk of a patrol catching them ["It'll take ages to get here" etc.]. Out of character, we figured this was about the time when Vader started searching for the Rebels (and Skywalker), hunting them down with every resource he had available. The PCs spend too long underground in the ruins and the Executor and her squadron arrive (a combination of rotten luck and player suggestion), trapping them on the surface. Vader senses the force-sensitive PC, asumes it's Skywalker (another player suggestion) and orders them captured rather than destroyed.
Fleeing from the TIEs, they have no time to get out of the gravity well, and decide capture or death are just not an option. They decide to disable (rip-out) the safeties and jump inside the planet's gravity well (~20m above the surface, to be precise).
The question: What will happen? We've all enjoyed the game enough to let it end in a TPK like this, but we figure there has to be something happen because of this. The question is, what? I've a few ideas, but nothing really interesting, and I hoped to farm the creativity of the boards for this. Any ideas, no matter how strange, would be appreciated.
