Imperial Scouts / Infiltrators encounter help

By Andreievitch, in Game Masters

I have an idea for a game, but wasn't sure the best way to use it.

It will actually be a prequel game for the AoR Friends Like These module. In the game the PCs will already be on the planet getting a ship built (thanks to the new Vessel Crafting rules in DoR). I would like them to some how detect/discover that the hidden shipyeards has been discovered by Imperial Scouts. A chase would then occur only for the scouts to get to their vessel and attempt to escape.

Looking for suggestions:

  • Should I use Imperial Scout Troopers and Speeder Bikes? Or something else?
  • What ship would be the most likely that they would run to and attempt to escape in? Imperial Shuttle? Skywatcher from Beyond the Rim?

Any other suggestions?

If you go with scouts, use a sentinel landing craft.

If you want something harder:

Stormcommandos (AoR Beta) and a vt-49 decimator

I just had a look at the "Deep Dark" encounter from Beyond the Rim, and I will probably go with that.

  • Scout Troopers
  • Speeder Bikes
  • Probe Droids
  • Skywatcher class Scout Ship

Looks like a complete scenario to me! I wish I saw it before posting :)
