STAR WARS
DARK TIDES
ALTHOUGH THE EMPIRE HAS BEEN DEFEATED, REMNANTS STILL EXIST AND STRUGGLE TO RETURN IT TO ITS FORMER GLORY. THE REBELLION REMAINS EVER WATCHFUL OF SUCH ATTEMPTS, KNOWING IT HOLDS ONLY A VERY FRAGILE PEACE.
GENERAL SOLO, LEADER OF THE REBEL FORCES, HAS RECEIVED WORD OF IMPERIAL SHIPS TRAVELLING TO A DISTANT SECTOR OF THE GALAXY. THE ONLY CLUE TO THEIR FLIGHT PATH IS A FAULTY ASTROMECH DROID DISCARDED ON THE PLANET OF TREVURA.
KNOWING THAT THIS TINY OVERSIGHT MAY BE THEIR ONLY CHANCE TO AVERT DISASTER, GENERAL SOLO HAS DISPATCHED A TEAM OF REBEL SOLDIERS TO FIND THE DROID AT ALL COSTS…
The group entered the Trevura system in a stolen Imperial Guardian-class ship. There was a total crew of eight on the ship, the six PCs plus Jan Ors and Kyle Katarn (the Jedi Master to our Consular). They transmitted their transponder code and were granted clearance to land. Unfortunately, the Imperials who still ran this world were expecting Kyle, and a contingent of stormtroopers was waiting outside the docking bay. The group was alterted to their presence in time, and they smashed their craft back through the roof of the hangar and fled the city. They found a small forested area a few kliks outside of the city, and decided to put the ship down there. Knowing the planet maintained the deceased Emperor's no non-humans policy, the Reila and Saril stayed behind on the ship. Kyle and Jan also remained behind, because their presence had apparently been more noticed than they had liked. The remainder of the group entered the city, where they soon found groups of stormtroopers blasting any and all droids in the streets with what appeared to be modified ion blasters. They quickly took cover, not wanting to lose MD-94. They soon found out that a droid assassin had been hired to kill the Imperial governor, and all droids were being considered suspects. As the group tried to move quietly around the city, they encountered a suspicious ASP labor droid that seemed uncomfortable in his own "skin." Finding him suspicious, the group split in half to pursue him and try to cut him off. While Talwin chased the ASP, the others found themselves face-to-have with a hostile 3PO unit that actually fired on them. It was quickly taken down, while the Consular subdued the ASP. Forcing the droid to take them to his hideout, they found that he was SR-6, a notorious droid assassin the vein of IG-88. He had indeed been hired to kill the governor, and was also a avid gun collector. The droid left the group to their own devices while he went to finish his job. As soon as he left, a group of stormtroopers raided the warehouse, hoping to catch the droid they had been tracking. The party quickly talked the troopers down, with a little help from the Force, and thought they were clear. Meanwhile, a squad of troopers was searching the forest for the craft. Fortunately, Saril was an excellent shot with the laser turrets, and the troopers quickly fell. At this, they decided to move the ship to the other side of town. Back in town, MD-94 went outside to run a sensor sweep of the area, and soon found himself face-to-face with more droid-zapping strormtroopers and technicians -- including a technician who had the astromech they were after! As the group engaged in a brief firefight, the others aboard the ship brought it overhead for a quick pickup and flight. Soon the group and the droid were loaded, and they thought they were in the clear. At least until they picked up a tail....
