A GR-75 Transport comes into view while it is rounding an asteroid. Instead of a regular transport this GR-75 has a part of the lower hull removed to make room for a modest hangar bay from which a number of smaller spaceships set about towards a huge asteroid field.

The OOC:
Greetings Gentlebeings,
In “Star Wars: Scav’s” we will roleplay a group of scavengers/mercenaries/(darn maybe even pirates if we are opportunistic) that crew the heavily modified GR-75 called the Swift Fortune. Captained by the Devaronian Areem Vikargo it is a haven for all kinds of people like people in need of quick credits, people that need a period off the radar and generally speaking people who have had better times (that’s your character!).
The roleplay is set during the opening moments of Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope. To be more specific slightly after Grand Moff Tarkin blew up Alderaan (let’s say 3 days after). With the explosion of a planet Captain Vikargo is sure there is something of worth floating around in this dangerous zone and he has decided to move fast, hopefully before other competitors. Our starting moments will be roughly 1 post before we exit hyperspace.
Just as a guideline, I think the following roles are good on the ship:
Doctor (Already filled!)
Mechanic
Starfighter pilot (to keep the competition away etc)
Pilot/boatswain (sort of the guy under the captain that flies the Swift Fortune)
Scavengers!
Mercenaries (The scavenging profession tends to breed situations in which their talents shine)
Cook?
You name it!
On that note: Force sensitives! Yes I will allow them but keep in mind that you are in the middle of the ‘dark times’. Force sensitives are being hunted down, and there is a lack of training in this regard. For most people force sensitivity will come down to having slightly more accurate ‘hunches’ than other people do (“I have a bad feeling about this”). A Jedi on the run would be acceptable as well, but the hunting down part still applies. In general anything force sensitive would normally try to hide it in order to keep out of trouble, it might even be viewed as a bad thing for some (it’s a curse!). Possession of a lightsaber is a good way to get killed as well. The Empire has posted nice ‘finders fees’ for these items, though the interrogations afterwards are never that fun. On the black markets of the galaxy these things sell for a hefty price, thus be careful when showing you have one. Even civilized men might turn you in, or even try to steal it to make a boatload of credits themselves.
In essence we are all scavengers and that haul in stuff, we can just vary in our specialities outside of that.
To aid the narrative structure I have chosen to use a roleplaying system behind the screen. This does not mean you have to roll any dice or have to wait for me to do so. You roleplay as normal but I get the added benefit of using the narrative system to keep writing creative and unexpected, even for me. It is a simplified version of the Edge of the Empire system and character creation is quite easy.
One thing I do want to point out is the fact that you may be using ‘Obligation’. This basically is the burden you carry, the thing you are on the run from and so on. In a technical sense it gives you more starting experience to pour into statistics and skills. In the narrative sense it gives you a way to bring your characters history/personality into the roleplay. Make it something you want to occur, but is in fact bad for your character (though it might tie up loose ends if it occurs). Is your character addicted to spice? Does he have a family that his or her credits go to? Is there a bounty on your head? Did you part ways with a previous employer in a way that he still wants your head? Is the Empire after you? Do you have to sell Areem out to a competitor? Are you trying to get the Swift Fortune to aid the reb……………. It goes on.
So now for the Character sheet:
I have put all the “[“ brackets as a “{“bracket so you can easily copy the sheet, put it in word and when done you can replace all { brackets back to [ brackets to have it show up as it should
support.office.com/en-us/article/Find-.. shows you how!
Please post in the OOC before posting under the character tab!
