I'm having trouble settling on the next scenario for my Star Wars game and looking for suggestions.
Basic Background:
The game is set two years after RotJ and only uses the occasional bit of EU stuff (but, like Lucas, I'm willing to toss any of it aside' this campaign takes only the movies as definitive). The Alliance is currently in the midst of battling its way to Coruscant, one system at a time; Luke has a handful of students of varying skill levels (including Leia and Kyle Katarn), but has to balance this with his role within the Alliance. The character party consists of a couple of knockabout types (one fringer and one scoundrel) who are rookiees in Rogue Squadron, and a pair of fledgling Jedi padawan learners (one counsular, one guardian).
The Story So Far:
The first adventure was a pretty basic "get out alive" scenario ... they were sent to scout a supposedly-uninhabited system and got pounced on by Imperial forces led by a new self-appointed Sith Lord. Being horribly out-gunned (four first-level PCs in Y-Wings vs. a frigate with six TIE escorts), they were quickly captured. However, with a few lucky breaks and some good sneakery, they managed to find out the creepy details of the Sith Lord's plans and escape.
What I'm Looking For:
The party is heavy on bluff/diplomacy/mind trick/stealth abilities, and as the Rogue Squadron rookiees are sneaky scrounger types, I'd like to give the group the opportunity to operate within their realm of expertise a while so they can level up a little before sending them off to more combat- and survival-heavy scenarios. I had the idea of sending them to Nar Shadaa or someplace similar, but I'm blanking on any good premises for an urban mission (particularly one that would tie in with the previous scenario). If anybody has a good suggestion, I'd love to hear it. Alternatively, if anybody can recommend a good low-level urban module or adventure (for any system, I can convert easily enough), I'd like to know. I was tooling around the d20 Modern site and found some interesting possibilities for future adventures, but none that had the "cantina crawl" flavor I was looking for this time around.
