[QUOTE="BiggusGeekus, post: 896158, member: 1014"] I think it is part of cannon that you can jump inside a gravity well. You just end up in some totally random place. Space is big. Very big. Odds are strong they'd end up light years away from anything. Throw them near a star system and say their warp drive is damaged. It'll take days to repair with a proper facility and they don't have that. They'll need weeks to reapair it with what they have on hand (assuming they make the skill roll). The nearest planet (which the drive will just [i]barely[/i] let them get to has a breathable atmostphere, but high gravity and is volcanic. Not an ideal spot to land, but they have no other choice. Possible inhabitants: * A society that is force sensitive, but only to the dark side. Dark Jedi crashed there a thousand years ago under similar circumstances (that area of space-time is thin and prone to catch wayward drives). They are willing to fight against the Sith Lord ... but they clearly have ulterior motives. * A society that has recovered from the ravages of nuclear war and they are now complete techno-phobes. The party will have to win them over somehow if they are to be alloted the time they need to repair the ship. * A primitive society that has only progressed to steam power. They won't be going anywhere else fast ... they use a larger version of a mynock for a beast of burden! ... just my two cents. [/QUOTE]
