Rav was in contact with Gala while she scouted for Wakati Root.

Refresher: Gala's Report.

Rav's Report:

@RuusMarev , what did the sound come from? Was it an astromech? Anything important about it? I mentioned Cadena looking for it, but never got a response.

If she looks through the gap, there is a space where a C1 astromech is hiding... (I think I gushed too much with Rav and Crash.. curse my love of goofy B1's!)

So, what's the plan?

Steal a ship. Preferably a Gozanti.

It sounds like we've got all the info possible about Gala/the artefact that we can, at least here on Kiev. So I'm up for the acquisition of a new means of transportataion.

So, on to the main Spaceport and window shop for ships, correct?

Yes, unless Rav has any additional intel for us.

Nope, I think that's it..

*Rav is referring 3-4 troopers per docking birth..

When you scout the Spaceport, you find a VT-49 Decimator, Lambda shuttle and Sentinel assault craft. (The 2 Gozanti are on permanent assignment and would be noticed if one left.)

B e rth. Don't want a repeat of Vanya's misspellings...

I vote we steal the VT-49 and the Lambda if we can swing it. @Bellona , what do you think? Do you want to narrate the scouting, or shall I?

Isn't the Lambda the traditional "grand theft starship" target in GFFA?

you could go for the bigger Sentinel... to mix it up

I'm familiar with the Lambda. What is the VT-49?

As for narrating the scouting, I'm fine with that unless dice rolls are needed.

No picture is showing for me, but I've just seen a tiny one in the OD's vehicle section. Based on the info there, my choices are either the Lambda or the Decimator, with a preference for the Lambda.

We still have a crate of trade goods at The Sleeping Hutt . We need to retrieve and transport it off-planet, or else we'll end up owing the Magna clan. Maybe we could sell it to the Jawas?

The Imperial spaceport is officially only reachable through the main building (a two-story, bunker-like structure). The landing pads are open air, separated by thick walls with enclosed passageways connecting them and small buildings with the main building.

How about climbing up onto the top of those thick walls - at night to avoid being easily detected - and dropping into the landing bay that we want, possibly after some target-shooting (the 3 to 4 expected stormies)?

(Potential) problems: getting the cargo on board if it's still unsold, possibility of maglocks on the shuttle (more likely if they're expecting trouble). Oh, yeah, and getting shot down as we leave the planet ... codes, we need codes! Luckily, C1-N8 - whom I'm thinking of calling "Nate" - can likely deal with maglocks and codes. We just have to get him over the walls to the ship.

Possible help: "Super-Helpful Jawa on Kiev" (as per OOC p. 72), maaaaybe Rav. How about one of them organising a distraction (explosive or not) at the other end of town?

It's getting very late over here, so I won't be available for much longer today ("Tuesday", even though it's officially Wednesday for me now).

Yeah, I say let's try and sell the goods now.

I suggest we ambush the stormtroopers in two bays simultaneously, we've got the skill and numbers for it. Cadena ought to be able to carry C1 easily enough, she's got just 1/9 Encumbrance. Strap the trashcan to her back for 6 Encumbrance and she'll be fine.

If there are maglocks, Cin (my name suggestion, if we go that route, since it sounds more Star Wars-y) can handle them and then we could cart him over to the other ship to get it up and running if necessary/plausible. To that end, C1-N8 would probably be best going for the Decimator first, so maybe Cadena (with C1-N8) and Sienna take the Decimator while Barda, Aleena, and Crash(?) take the Lambda.

I'm iffy on the idea of a distraction, we don't really want to get the others into trouble if we can avoid it.

Sentinel vs. Lambda: Sentinel has +1 Armor, but the Lambda has 1 more handling and sensors go out to Short instead of close. The Sentinel has heavier weapons, but no aft weapons and we don't have high enough Agility/Gunnery to really take advantage of higher Linked qualities.

I'd recommend going with the Lambda, but prioritize the VT-49.

I was going to post recon, but I think we should sell the stuff first, then recon and have the characters determine how they are to proceed from there. Perhaps waiting until dark. If the spaceport is lit, but the walls are lacking in light, we may be able to take advantage of the light difference in our escapades (though more than likely, that would simply be narrative since it sounds like recon is a given, no checks necessary).

(fun fact, we just hit 20k posts on the EotE Beginner Game subforum, and Kandosii/Tales combined is more than half of that)

@RuusMarev , what'll be the difficulty to sell the trade goods?
