Space pickle train vs 3 pizza combo.

Space pickles are running 3 command cruisers with advanced projectors and enhanced armament with ackbar leading

Pizzas are running 2 imp 1's and an imp 2 with Vader, avenger and overload pulse with one of the imp 1's having devestator.

Imps are at 399 with rebs at 400. Dis gonna be gud

Any ships in Star Wars able to work in the atmosphere? Like capital ships or carriers?

Opportunistic smugglers trying to steal bacta and undercut the Hutts' prices. They're willing to cut a deal with the PCs if they keep their mouths shut

Judging by his reputation in Legends as a skilled ground attacker, it probably involves the words "low," "slow," and "gun run."

Fun fact, I'm running an EotE\AoR set a couple years before Yavin.

I introduced Porkins as a cameo, and the PC's were able to grab him and add him to their freighter crew by circumstance. So far he;s been manning a laser cannon turret

He also has been incapable of rolling anything but triumphs backing at least 3 successes when he shoots

>>45965148
Or they would just throw everybody they had at it. They gave Luke one just from word of mouth he'd never even flown in space

>>45965148
Except when you realize they were literally anyone they could have gotten a hold of on a base that was never expected to get involved in combat, given its secrecy.
It makes it more heroic if they are rookies going up against imperial elites, not less.

>>45965148
It would if they hadn't been caught with their pants down when their supposedly secret base was suddenly in the death stars sights then yeah.

>>45965622
Legends-wise, Yavin's Red Squadron was a mix of veterans, nameless redshirts, and rookies. Dreis, Wedge, Biggs, and Porkins were the "oldest" Reds and had flown several missions together beforehand.

They're capable enough strike fighters thanks to their ability to pack proton torpedoes, but they don't really have the ordnance capacity to truly shine in that role compared to Ys, Bs, and Es. The X-wing's primary role is space superiority.

IIRC, Victory-class Star Destroyers are the largest SD class that can safely enter atmo, at least in Legends. Anything larger than a VicStar is fit for void travel only. Canon, as usual, has jack shit to say on the matter.

>Writing doesn't go into detail about any potential damage the interior or spaceframe suffered during what was obviously an incredibly destructive exit
Lusankya isn't exactly the norm when it comes to starships. According to Wookieepedia and WEG's Imperial sourcebook:

>Unlike later Star Destroyer designs, the Victory possessed the ability to enter the upper levels of a planetary atmosphere. This gave the ship a decided advantage of added precision when engaging in the ground attack operations the class was designed to carry out. In addition, the Victory could also pursue other vessels hoping to escape by diving towards a planet.

The rule of thumb is that if it's larger than a VicStar, keep it the fuck away from atmosphere.

>>45968536
That shit's lame though. Assuming they can't fly in atmo because you never see it in the OT is stupid.

>>45968572
>>45968572
No, pretty sure it's assumed they can't fly in atmo because something that massive and heavy would usually suffer crazy structural stress if it was in an Earth-like gravity field.

I'll admit that I loved the WEG books, but I'll also argue that they were more intelligently written than the prequels. I know dissing the prequels is like beating a dead horse, but you have to admit that they were full of stupid bullshit. Are we honestly supposed to believe that a bunch of clone soldiers born and bred to be the best would advance across an open Geonosian field in a Napoleonic gun line? That gigantic capital ships wouldn't encounter structural issues after prolonged time in a gravity well?

>>45969002
Star Wars serves the narrative. Logic is never really an issue if it looks cool. Unfortunately the PT suffered from bad writing and story, so it couldn't seem to get away with what the OT did.

>>45969002
Even a 99.99% efficient Death Star superlaser would still incinerate the entire station from waste heat. What is plausible in-setting is measured from what is seen and logically weighed out from there. There is nothing in the films that imply Star Destroyers cannot withstand gravity, and honestly, the fact that there is actual anti-grav in the universe means resultant stresses on the body would be way less anyway.

>Are we honestly supposed to believe that a bunch of clone soldiers born and bred to be the best would advance across an open Geonosian field in a Napoleonic gun line?

The first movie has the Falcon defended by WW2-style manned turrets, and the second movie has literal trench warfare against badly designed war machines.

It's like asking why Luke didn't use his X-Wing to attack the AT-ATs. Because they wanted some toe cable action, and Luke doing more lightsaber stuff.

Besides, if you blend in legends material that doesn't conflict, or just dump it in wholesale, remove the reborn emperor and vong bullshit, have thrawn be defeated at jakku, it still works.

Doing a game set in TFA isn't any different then doing a game set during TPM

Something a lot of people here lack apparently.

>>45971724
The thing is, the PT did a really impressive job of making the Galaxy feel huge and expansive and fleshed out the OJO

>>45971795
I don't remember the movies fleshing much out aside for what was needed for the story. This was the reason Lucas decided to do TCW.

>>45971775
>>45971662
What advantages does the TFA Era provide that none of the other Eras have?

>>45971921
30 years of peace with both the backdrop of the PT and OT. Probably is going to be the political intrigue type of era with the least amount of large scale battles. At least until we see what episode 8 does. Also being an era of brash crime since the NR isn't as hard as the Empire.

>>45972028
I'll concede the former, although it's not really 30 years. The latter can also be done with Legends New Republic.

>>45972028
The problem is that if you take the ST era as-is, it leaves little in the way of new RPG campaign fodder. The infinite retardation of the canon NR leaves AoR players still messing around in small, underfunded cells. Ren's purge of the NJO, meanwhile, leaves FaD players with a reskinned post-66 campaign.

Assuming, of course, that you don't rewrite those bits so that you have the less incompetent Legends NR and slightly more purge-resistant Legends NJO.

>>45971921

Different politics, which isn't an advantage, its just different.

Unlike the Clone Wars and the GCW, which were both full on wars - the Resistance vs First Order is more of a cold war, laden with politics and restrictions, which allows a lot more intrigue, and even espionage.

Also, the mentality of both sides is very different, considering their roles have switched

But the real benefit of the era is a mostly blank canvas

late post - having potato internet that makes dialup look fast, relay really makes captcha timelimits impossible to work with - also, there was a pic i was posting, but its impossible, so just assume I posted a pic of first order stormtroopers

>>45972133
TFA is 30 years after ROTJ.

>>45972252
FaD doesn't even work in the OT era.

For AoR you could be a group of NR pilots tasked with defending worlds still crippled by the Empire from pirates, slavers, or worse. You can introduce the FO as a boogeyman, and have senators work against the players experiences with them since they're secretly in league with the FO. This could lead to them being recruited by Leia's Resistance down the road if they wanted.

>>45972428
>TFA is 30 years after ROTJ.
It still took a while for the Empire to surrender after Endor.

>>45972428
>TFA is 30 years after ROTJ.

The War continued for a few years after ROTJ and the fact the First Order exists and the NJO was wiped out indicates periods of no peace.

>FaD doesn't even work in the OT era.

Explain. Legends has plenty of nascent Force Sensitives in the GCW Era.

>>45972428
>FaD doesn't even work in the OT era.
Post-66 survivors and newborn Force-sensitives, yo. Aside from Team Skywalker, Legends had Rahm Kota, Echuu Shen-Jon, Kam and Tionne Solusar, Keyan Farlander, and Skippy. If Kanan and Ezra live long enough, they might also count as evidence for FaD's viability in the OT era.

>>45972612
Keyan Farlander brings up an interesting idea. Are there Force Sensitives who fell to the Dark Side without ever having been trained in the Force?

Contracted Scout - 25
Deadeye - 1
Extra Munitions - 2
Advanced Proton Torpedoes - 6
Overclocked R4 - 1
Guidance Chips - 0
Ship Total: 35


Are APTs suddenly, magically playable?

>>45972758
Would they be strong enough in the force that it makes a difference?

>>45972820
Well, Farlander was. He was very close to falling.

>>45972577
It ended after the battle of Jakku which was a year after Endor. The Galactic Concordance is signed and the remaining Empire jumped to the Unknown Regions.

>Explain. Legends has plenty of nascent Force Sensitives in the GCW Era.
The best time for it is the PT era. The OT is too restrictive on force sensitives for it to have diverse ideas.

>>45972612
Kanan and Ezra are a good example since Rebels is like a TRPG. Honestly if they were in my group I'd be annoyed OOC that they were getting our potential secret bases found. A lot of their force related missions also don't include anyone but them as well.

Those would likely fall under the very vague category of "Dark Jedi." IIRC, in the Dark Forces games, the Dark Jedi mooks died in droves when put up against NJO mooks, which was supposed to indicate that they were undisciplined and untrained.

>>45972428

FaD's premise is pretty much based around Force Users in the OT Era. What have you been reading?

>>45972903

There are so many examples in Legends that prove you wrong.

That's really more related to the nature of the show than an RPG.

>>45972917
Most Dark Jedi are at least moderately trained. I'm talking about situations like Keyan or Corran falling to the Dark Side while still being Pilots for the Alliance.

Hell no. The Legends OT era lets you work with groups like the Agents of Ossus, Kota's militia, ideologically diverse and widespread Rebel cells, the Inquisitorius, the distant and mysterious Aing-Tii, and countless newborns and half-taught padawans trying out new ideas. The real best time for FaD is the early years of the NJO, though.

All this talk is just making me realize how much better it is to play in the criminal underworld in any era, any canon.

Would using a diamond as a lightsaber crystal create a White blade?

>>45973708
>bitchI'mwearingsevenskirts.holo

>>45973478
Force traditions outside of the Big Two (Jedi and Sith) have ALWAYS been tiny, friend. Like, most of them are barely big enough to influence a single planet or system, let alone a sector. The Jedi and pre-Bane Sith are the outliers in terms of their size, and even then the Jedi are tiny on a galactic scale - Legends says that there were ten thousand Jedi headquartered out of the Grand Temple on Coruscant during TPM, and canon says there were ten thousand Jedi, period, in the pre-Clone Wars era.

>>45973725
No, it wouldn't work.

>>45973706
It's more like the Aing-Tii were incommunicado with the entire Galaxy. They really like their privacy.

>>45973725
Canon makes no mention of diamonds in lightsabers. Legends only has info on "colored crystals or diamonds" being used for "prismatic effect" but nothing more specific than that.

>>45973725
Using it as a lightsaber crystal would recolor it based on Things. Some of those Things might be your emotional state and how you understand and use the Force. Or they might not. Depends on who you ask.

>>45973783
Let's assume Legends and ignore the "Kyber Crystals only" stupidity that's popped up.

Diamonds, white blade, Yes or No?

>>45973876
Only the Imperial Knights had white blades in Legends, and as far as I know they didn't use diamonds.

>>45973876
No because the Force you put into it during construction will color it blue or green or some snowflake color.
Lightsaber construction is not a strict science. The Force plays a big part in it and changes the end product in ways that wouldn't be obvious if you just looked at what happens when energy is put through a crystal.

>>45973876
Did the person trying to do this go through an emotional journey to get it? Anything that warrants a white blade?

>>45973915
Corran Horn used a white-bladed saber, too, IIRC. His homemade dual-phase saber also used a diamond but I can't remember what color(s) that one had.

>>45973995
The Wook says that his dual-phase saber didn't actually use a diamond but a low-grade substitute instead, and that it was silver, not white. I want to say his grandfather's blade was either blue or green, but that's just going off of old memories that very well could be wrong.

>>45973995
He used a Durindfire Gem. Big difference.

>>45977034
so as someone who has never looked at xwing or armada, what does all the crap on all these cards and things you guys post mean?

>>45979312

How much do you want to know?

The cards and stuff take the place of a warhammer style rulebook & army lists.

>>45979414
i guess a basic outline of how xwing/armada work?

>>45969804
Hey, I'm not the one who started saying that SDs in atmosphere was stupid.

>>45971372
I kinda disagree. ANH was vague enough to seem big. TFA feels vague enough to feel unfinished.

I don't really understand exactly how the FO or the NR interact, exactly. What are their goals, what are their values? TFA could really have used the Imperial High Council sequence from ANH.

>>45979469

I don't really know much about Armada.

X-wing is a squadron-level wargame based in the Star Wars universe. Normally two players but highly adaptable. A standard game takes 45-90 minutes.

Turns are divided into phases;
1. Planning
2. Activation
3. Combat

During the planning phase, each player secretly assigns maneuvers to each of their ships. Each ship has a maneuver dial with a variety of different maneuver - you pick one and place the dial facedown near the ship.The maneuvers correspond to movement templates of various lengths and curvature.

During the activation phase, each ship performs it's assigned maneuver and can then take an action. The actions generally give an offensive or defensive bonus, or allow a bit of additional maneuvering to fine-tune your position.

During combat the ships shoot at each other by rolling 8-sided offensive & defensive dice and then modifying their rolls with whatever.

And here's a really outdated but still informative review by some lovely ladies.

>>45979469
>>45979717
>>45979849

So yeah. That's X-wing in a nutshell.

Armada is a fleet combat game instead of a squadron-level game. More about big ships than starfighters, though fighters are still involved.

It is newer than X-wing and supposedly learned some lessons from it. It is more expensive and takes about twice as long to play, and it looks really really fucking cool on the table. Makes me jealous.

It is mechanically pretty different from X-wing, although there are some slight similarities. It doesn't have as many expansions or as many people playing it as X-wing does, though maybe someday it will.

Both games have very friendly communities. "Fly casual" is a common motto. Way more relaxed and fun people than you usually find playing MtG or 40k.


Any other questions feel free to ask. I'm probably headed to sleep soon but someone will help you out.

>>45980332

Xwing-related, how effective is spamming the cheapest shitboxes you can find?

>>45980400
>sweet. I guess the skirmish mode of imperial assault is the ground combat version/equivalent?

Imperial Assault is a bit more of a traditional boardgame. It is closely modeled on a dungeon-crawler called Descent.


>Xwing-related, how effective is spamming the cheapest shitboxes you can find?

It can be quite effective depending on what your opponent is flying, how well they fly it, and how well you maneuver your swarm. It can be quite challenging to fly a swarm well, especially over the course of a long tournament where it can get mentally exhausting planning for seven ships where your opponents might be planning for as few as two or three. On the other hand, there are plenty of advantages to outnumbering and outgunning your opponent.

People do well with a pretty wide variety of lists.

>>45980614
imperial assault is weird, because it has the co-op descent-like campaign game, and then a second mostly similar ruleset for points-based skirmish mode with cards for gear and skills and shit, a little like xwing. I think FFG has had some tournaments/competitive play with it or something?

>>45980714

And that rookie went on to kill the Death Star. Your point?

>>45981461
Are you being dumb? I'm saying there's no meaning in assuming that the entire squadron is full of veterans.

What do I do with a group that is really creative in combat when none of us really understand the rules fully yet? My players will often request to do crazy actions or things that aren't really covered by rules and we almost always end up homebrewing something really shoddy on the spot or rule of cooling things. ie, trying to slit people's throats before combat should result in an instakill in their minds, they try to attack multiple characters per turn by pushing people into each other or cleaving and the character with shock gloves often spreads water in a room so he can attack everyone. It feels way too dodgy when we do things like this and I'm never really satisfied with how I implement what they try to do.

Don't really know what answer I want here but does anyone have any suggestions or comments or experiences related to what we're going through at my table?

I disagree. My players dont feel the fear with stormtroopers unless they show up in company sized elements.

>>45985372
You'd think that.
I have fond memories of the time my players had to go through the same scenario as the Tantive IV did, only to override the weapons lock on their corvette.
Forty stormtroopers were killed and they somehow took out four Dark Troopers before inevitably being captured. When they were taken to a proto-Lusankya facility they barely waited until after they'd walked off the shuttle before kicking the shit out of the guards (entirely unarmed) and escaping.

I just missed the top 4 cut for the 3rd this season of Store Championships. Each time by 17, 15, and 10 points. My only loss each day was to the eventual winner of the whole thing.

It hurts.

>>45986463

How do they deal with the very likely scenario of still being horribly outgunned? Stormtrooper legions are almost never far from CAS, artillery, armor, or heavy weapons teams. Few parties will have as much ordnance per capita as a stormtrooper unit of equal size.

Blowing them up and stuff works pretty well, to some extent, but there's usually enough to survive as they're not just in a big rugby scrum.
They're spread out so there's overlapping fields of fire, cover and stuff like that. Sure they're pretty shit in some ways, but they're still trained infantry.

Usually I throw a D5+1 and that's how many rounds a shitload of stormtroopers will begin arriving on the scene- depending on the setting of course that might mean another 3 platoons or just a command squad... but there's ALWAYS more stormies :)
(If I need them there sooner, flip a darkside point and they're coming in next round!)

>>45961311
Rough measure, up to the size of an Acclamator. Post clone wars, the Imperial Navy focused on building bigger, more intimidating ships, which meant they now relied in transporting ships with shuttles from capital vessels as they could not land on planet themselves. Ofcourse, Clone wars gear is pretty common the first decade of the Empires lifetime, and after that I would argue you are more likely to see them in the outer rim, where most campaigns take place, since outer rim usually gets the shittier equipment.
Ofcourse, the VSD can go a bit into the upper edge of the atmosphere, and Disney is shitting all of over the lore with having everything being in atmosphere. Don't be surprised if they make a Death Star prototype hidden in the center of Coruscant or some other bullshit like that.

My AoR players just got sent to a planet in the ass-end of nowhere to shore up a small but somewhat successful rebellion cell. The plan is to have them meet a Star Wars equivalent of the Swat Kats: two Cathar hotshot pilots running their own private rebellion against the local empire presence.

On to my questions: What in the force-damned galaxy should the TurboKat translate to? Prototype twin-seater X-Wing? Old but pimped-out ARC-170? BTL-A4 Y-Wing with souped-up engines and split Pilot/Gunner controls?
For timeframe the game is now at 5 months BBY and counting down

How much space are you willing to set aside for rental and advertising?

>>45986191
There's an odd ruling with going back to at least WotC's days with the IP where TECHNICALLY pdf's fall under the video game category and thus they don't have the rights to sell them.

>>45991115
Pretty much anything where you can find employers willing to shell out enough to pay for the crew to get your ship's support.
This is HIGHLY era-dependant. Mercs with a large capital ship would be making cash hand over fist during the clone wars or imperial civil war, for example, but they'd be hard up for work during the empire except maybe out in wild space or on retainer for the hurts, which would be a very dangerous business.
Now, as for what mercs would be likely to HAVE? Something like a bulk cruiser or really ancient battleship of some kind would be the likely limit, possibly a Venator or old CIS cruiser in the post-clone wars era. Anything bigger than a frigate or carrack would be very rare, though. Of course, during the ICW, anything up to a Praetor isn't off the table; a lot of Star Destroyers were operating on a more or less mercenary basis in those days

Mark I Z-95 modded into a twinseater and an extra engine bolted on. That might just work

>>45991115
probably something like an Arquitens-class, and even then it wouldn't be at 100% effeciency.

>>45968154

And the Venator is the largest that can actually land. Even it has to use repulsors because the legs can't hold all the weight.

>>45968640

Gravity in low earth orbit is only very slightly less than on the surface. Space stations in real life are in freefall, which is how they avoid structural stress, but a warship accelerating at several gees is obviously not. Then you have the problem that such a ship is creating bigger stresses on its structure just by running the engines.

Yeah. I liked how the old Visual Dictionary referred to them just as 'field troopers'. Makes more sense.

So does the Empire still exist at all in episode 7 or are the first order the only Imperials left?

>>45995939
First Order is it.

>>45995939
the first order was forged from the ashes of the empire

specifically from hardline radicals who were raised under imperial rule

Thoughts? Guidance Chips will make this worthwhile IMO, and hopefully the Inquisitor and JumpMaster both come with a pair. a la StarViper and Authothrusters.

Homing Missile ignoring evades combined with an automatic hit from GC is pretty potent, and multiples of those a turn could be devastating. Plus, Homing Missile doesn't require you to discard Target Lock, so you have a good chance of scoring 3-4 hits.

Piloting this is going to be incredibly difficult, though. The approach is incredibly difficult to figure out and will likely vary a lot depending on your opponent. Unsure of whether I'd keep them in formation, or in pairs, perhaps?

Also not sure how to use the Seismic Charges aside from deterring aces chasing me.I feel like they could be potent if all dropped in one area and getting the opponent to land there.

Pic unrelated but based

>>45997366
>FaD
There's no need for a new sourcebook right now since a post-Endor canon campaign would just be a rehash of an Order 66 survivor campaign. Most of the Jedi are dead (again) and angry dudes in black pajamas are busy hunting down what's left (again) under the leadership of an angsty douchebag in an iconic mask (again but minus the all-important glove).

>>45997366
There's no point. TFA introduces nothing new to aside from some tech and is honestly one of the worst settings for games.

Does anyone know where I can find a good race/class compendium for the FF RPG? I've been poking around looking for one, have haven;t found any yet.

>>45997411

Four bombers is too many bombers. Two is plenty - the rest of your points should be going in a different direction.

Homing Missiles are not the best option. Concussion Missiles are generally as effective at a lower cost, and Cluster Missiles are much more effective against low agility targets.

Scimitars are useless.
Take Gammas or leave the bombers at home.

What could be in a data cache that Imperials would be more willing to delete than allow to fall into the hands of criminal scum, and that a Hutt may be interested in.

Just in case my players decide to peek.

My thinking was that, because Homing lets you preserve your target lock, you'd be able to pull Koiogran turns or other hard maneuvers while keeping your ability to fire missiles

Point. I doubt Mara paid much attention to Leia, though. She was much more focused on killing and ogling Luke.

>>45999484
I bunch of people of the FFG forums seems disappointed with the lack of Jawas. I think this proves that a Tatooine (and other outer rim worlds) splat is planned. I think the Bounty Hunter Book will be HUGE combination of a Mando Space Book and Bounty Hunter Book.

Do you guys have any experience/ideas on how to make a pilot based AoR campaign work? My group has been wondering about having such a campaign after we are done with our current one, but it seems a bit iffy to have such a campaign, what with the ship rules being a bit wonky and it being pretty hard to not have all the characters feel a bit too samey when it comes to talents and skills.

The plan was to mainly fly around in ships and doing shit. Any thoughts or helpful ideas on that?

>>45999761
It could be a Dam Buster kind of campaign where you all fly Y-Wings on high threat terrestrial targets and try to get the fuck out.

You could have them go full Wraiths and do a fair bit of infiltration/sabotage on the ground.

Space Guerrila Warfare where you raid shipping lanes, patrols and shipyards. Raid priority targets to steal technology. Rescue missions, anti-slaving missions.

Steal the latest bullshit from Sienar R&D to see how hard Rebel technicians can laugh

Or just steal the plot from Top Gun. Or Macross Plusor Ace Combat

>>45999206
I ran a list of 4 royal guard pilots all with ptl, Stealth device, autothrusters, and the royal guard title.

They can't dodge as well as soontir or Carnor due to PS, so maybe VI would be useful on them, however, they do pack a punch and are wonderfully fun to fly.

>>45971921
I imagine the ST era is a lot like KotOR II or the Republic right before the clone wars. The galaxy is a a shattered, war ridden mess, ruled by an incompetent central government who can't provide any real help. Warlords and robber barons rule entire systems, fighting bitter brushfire wars to claim resources and the allegiance of the backwaters. Old Jedi who survived the purge go into hiding, fearing that at any moment the First Order will strike. Smugglers and criminals step in where the Republic and Remnant fail, providing social services and cargo runs to worlds desperately in need. In these desperate times it's easy to make some money, though the exchange rates may take it all away.

I need suggestions on what to do with my decimator, however. It doesn't have the panels and vanes the other ships have, just bare plates and machinery.

I figure it would be good fun, I just wonder if it has any glaring weaknesses as a composition. I imagine I would have an especially hard time against a Decimator especially if Vader is on board, and I could give Jax the Wingman EPL to help with stress management if my local group is heavy on handing it out. I'm just digging the idea of a a squadron dedicated to out-dogfighting other fighters.

Not the anon you replied to, but fuck it, I've given up on the new canon bringing anything that can equal or surpass Thrawn and X-Wing.

maybe try something unusually stylish or eccentric for the decimator; you said red and white, so why not something like a Polish flag pattern? (red and white opposing quarters)

Here's my first TIE. Works pretty great for such a simple color scheme. No room for errors with the white, however.

I love the look of that decimator. Maybe I'll do the same with 2 large red stripes, then some blue/green lights in spots on hatches/etc.

I remember Denis Lawson declining to cameo himself in TFA because "it would have bored me", I can't help but think it's because he figured it would be as just a pilot and wasn't interested in in sitting in a chair and spouting lines at a green screen, but I'd love to see him come back as a flight instructor or command figure.

Seeing as he came back for Rogue Squadron 2, I think it's more about the size of the role. All he did in that game was voice acting but he was the undisputed star of the show with a shitload of lines. TFA's crew would probably have given him a shitty minor cameo. He's got a solid gig going in the UK anyway. He has better things to do than mere cameos.

so /swg/ ive been running a long standing sandbox D20 Saga game for my brother and his idiot friend. Their both in their mid teens and have been playing as lolrandom characters who drink, smoke, and party with girls. Their exploits include:

>Blowing up hotels on Tatooine
>Kidnapping said hotel owner (female) and killing her son
> Using a Jedi Master and his padawans(their original goal was to save them and hide them with the alliance) as meat shields against kraty dragons
> Selling water to Jabba the Hutt
>Claiming to be related to Jabba the Hutt for free stuff
>Murder and Pillage on Yavin 8
>Getting Speeder bikes made from a crazy old guy on Terminus (Both looking like daredevils bike)

Now their newest plan?
