Rogue Squadron Commando missions

By Sgt Engee, in Star Wars: Age of Rebellion RPG

I am making a Rogue Squadron commando adventure module for my group, but wanted to get a feel for demand on the forums. If there is a strong enough response I will post it here for everyone access and use.

So what is in this module?

As the title suggests, it will be for those who wish to play a commando/ground support role in some of the iconic missions from the original rogue squadron games. After evaluating the first game and looking at some of the source books we have access to, I have chosen the following missions to be strong contenders for a module Below is a short snippet of the mission summary.

  1. Defection at Corellia - The PCs are tasked with making contact with, and extracting the defecting imperial officer Crix Madine.
  2. Raid on the Jade Moon - Impressed by their skills during his rescue General Madine requests the PCs aid his main ground unit in raiding the imperial supply depot on this moon base.
  3. Prisons of Kessel - Crix Madine tasks the PCs with following him to storm the multiple prison yards to free rebel prisoners.
  4. Blockade on Chandrila - General Rieekan tasks the PCs with defending the citizens of Chadrila during the evacuation.
  5. Attack on Thyferra - General Rieekan tasks the PCs with defending the citizens, corporate sympathizers, and bacta supplies.

I saw small potential for Search for the Nonnah. There is a portion where the crew and the stolen imperial equipment is rescued by a shuttle. However, aside from pulling the crew out, the glory of the mission goes to rogue squadron. So I decided not to use it.

Friendly NPCs:

  • General Rieekan
  • General Madine
  • Lt. Derek "Hobbie" Klivian
  • Lt. Wes Janson
  • Chandrilan defense forces
  • Various rebels soliders

Enemy NPCs:

  • Moff Khol Seerdon
  • Corellia Sector Moff
  • ISB officer
  • Imperial intelligence officer
  • Various imperial army officers and troopers
  • Various Stormtrooper officers and grunts.


As I said, feedback and demand on if anyone would like to see this module is welcome.

Please post it.

Yes, please do.

I'm on the verge of starting my own Age of Rebellion campaign and I am very attracted to the grittier, harsher, more humbling side of an underdog struggle of the Star Wars war - in the spirit of the great WWII or Vietnam movies - and a focus on the ground troops side of things is just what I'm looking for. I'm aspiring to collect a lot of potential missions that I can string together as makes sense according to the direction of the campaign.

Thanks!

As a Wes Janson costumer, I'm interested of course.

Wraith Squadron stories can be a good follow up. ;)

Please post... I had a saga campaign that followed a similar idea... started with the battle of endor, where "the undead" (name of the unit) were the ones who were originally suposed to take down the shield generator but then han sólo shows up at the last minute and throws together a team of people he had worked with before

The titles of your mission summaries reads like an old news film...which really helps to sell this!

I would be interested in seeing the adventures, and thanks for offering to share it.

I'm intrigued by this. I would like to know more.

Big question: what "roles" are you looking to have filled?

hell to the yes!

Thank you all for the enthusiastic response! I will endeavor to get the first one out once it is completed. I am currently working 2 jobs and attending school full time at the moment, so please forgive my delayed responses.

I am currently working on the mission Blockade on Chandrila. I purchased the Strongholds of Resistance sourcebook, and am drawing on/expanding a few assets/potential side quests pointed out there. Below is a brief summary so far of what I have written. I have a group of players going through the motions of the first Act and will adjust this module and will adjust it as I go.

Prologue:

Moff Kohl Seerdon, appointed personally by Emperor Palpatine as Governor, has shown nothing but cruelty to the people of his home world. He has stepped up his tactics to root out all rebel activity on Chandrila. Many civilians have been caught in the crackdown and public opinion of the alliance has plunged. In light of this, the top three governors of Chandrila have been forced to issue a joint statement announcing the alliance as a terrorist organization, and ordering the arrest of known sympathizers.

General Rieekan tasks the PCs with establishing contact with the governors, earning their faith/trust, and convincing them to rejoin the alliance. Upon this, the alliance can begin military action to drive the Empire out of the system.

Act I - Desperate Diplomacy

The party makes contact with a rebel recruitment cell on planet, and begins to formulate a plan to infiltrate the mansion and contact governor Centi in Hanna City. When the party gains her trust, she reveals a very dangerous secret that can benefit the alliance. An Imperial Intelligence Agent is potentially detected/neutralized. The countdown 'timer' to the blockade begins.

Act II - Hearts & Minds

The party makes contact with the Governors Dehsea of Emita and Millae of Nayli, with help from Centi. The governors each require significant convincing. One makes a harsh demand of the PCs, but if satisfied, will pledge unconditional support to the alliance. The other while skeptical, decides to give the party a chance to prove themselves. A traitor is discovered, but time is about to run out. Imperial forces begin mobilizing. The governors turn to the only alliance members present and able to help...the PCs.

Act III - Operation Chandrila Shield

The party must inform alliance command of the need for immediate military aid and help rally the Chandrilan military for a swift defensive and counter attack. Moff Seerdon blockades Chandrila cutting off all shipments of any kind. Automated wall builders begin cutting off hover train routes. Chandrila's orbital defense platforms, navy, and army forces engage imperial combatants. The party helps the Chandrilan army protect and evacuate wounded civilians and high ranking government officials. Working with air support from Rogue Squadron Chandrila is saved.

Epilogue

The PCs meet with Governor Centi and General Rieekan in the aftermath. General Rieekan congratulates the PCs on a job well done and awards them appropriately. Depending on Mass Combat dice rolls certain rewards/penalties may be given. Governor Centi provides the party with an additional reward of their choice and gratitude regardless of this.

Nice adventure set up and looks like it would be a blast to play through. Good luck running it with your group.
