[OOC] Star Wars: Empire of Glass

[ButtsnBalls]

Alright, for our first encounter, each character will sign up for one mission from the list below.

• Reach the databank at the center of the Crown and download intel from the computers there
• Go to the crew quarters on the upper section; lock Imperial personnel in there
• Access the power plant and engineering controls in lower sections, to prevent automated defense and scuttling
• Disable the escape pods on the opposite side (forward) docking bay; the station's turret controls are also there
• Secure the station bridge at the very top; you need to go through the massive domed garden
• Help out other Scarlet Moons troops pinned down in the nearby (aft) docking bay

You will be with (roughly) nine NPCs squadmates. Your character can be either the squad leader, or just a regular squad member.

After we sign up, I'll roll dice (and factor in character skills) to determine how the missions go.

Dice rolls and interpretations:

• Aft docking bay - Thiena and Ren made it there and took out some enemies along the way. However, the boarding team at the docking bay already suffered heavy casualties when they arrived. Thiena and Ren managed to flank the Imperials and can take the pressure off their allies.
• Crew quarters - Cragdor's squad got excited by the sight of food in the cafeteria, and when they scrambled for the kitchen, they were ambushed by stormtroopers. 2/3 of the squad are KIA, and Cragdor suffered a minor injury. Cragdor can relocate (and attempt to flank) or hold position for help.
• Bridge - NED needs to go through the garden before reaching the bridge. There's is a live Ord Thoden swamp dragon, an ten meter-long electricity-breathing crocodile, loose in the garden. Fortunately, NED's memories has data on the dragon, and his squad is able to defeat it. The way to the bridge is clear after that.
• Databanks - Zed successfully hacks into the computers. Unfortunately for her squadmates, they triggered the intruder alarm, locking them inside and activating two KX-series security droids. The automatic lockdown includes a signal jammer that needs to be taken down before anyone can call for backup.
• Power plant - Fibu's squad stormed their objective with zero casualty. They got the surprised engineers there to surrender and now have full control of the Crown's automated defenses. In doing so, they can use automated defenses to assist another squad elsewhere.
• Escape pods - All enemy VIPs have already cast off by the time Ashti and her troops arrived. They did, however, leave them parting gifts in the form of booby traps. Half of Ashti's squad are down and she is injured. After the explosion, they found a group of non-Human laborers trying to get off the station.
• Forward docking bay - Cleo's team ran into serious resistance there. They are surrounded and outnumbered two-to-one.

If you have an alternative interpretation, or want the mission to go differently, let me know, so we can adjust accordingly.

Who gave me such crappy soldiers!? Distracted by food? Cragdor was probably injuries trying to save them from their stupidity.

Not too happy with that outcome, but what can you do with a critical failure. I’ll take this indignity and use it as motivation for next time.

[Lord Greshh]

Do you want us to write out scenes depicting how these things occurred or just pick up in the aftermath? Either way, I'm going to wait and give the others a chance to post a little.
