This page is for brendon's Megagame planning, to flesh out various encounters the players might encounter.

Landing and Customs

Items on the ship?

• Lightsabers
• equipment kits
• Armory
• survval gear
• Slicer gear

Prior to the explosion, establish lasersword location, find out about LASR's role in the imperial parade.

Inspection and Explosion

• As the players ship is inspected, a chatty customs agent notices the wookiee's lightsaber and dismisses it as a prop for the Empire Day celebrations. He mentions the Loyalist Association of Saber Rakers, and that they will be participating in the Empire Day march later that day.
• As the first passangers of the next transport come in (a unit of the Imperial Sub Adult Group, ranging from 10 to 16, forming up on the pad outside), the customs inspector starts to wrap you up, when a large explosion rocks the landing pad offices.
• BR-1K has a harder check, as the landing bay bucks beneath him, scattering the imperial cub scouts into a panic, and then the bottom drops out of one side of the hoverpad. The Imperial Lambada the ISAGs came in on tumbles over the edge, a few straggler children reach out to grab power lines, fuel lines, anything they can to hold on to, (not handrails, as apparently the Empire, like the Republic doesnt believe in public saftey) as your ship starts to slide across the increasing slope toward them. P1G5 rushes toward the cockpit, but it's unlikely he could get the ship up before it runs over the children...

-One action each-

• As a few of the ISAG scramble for saftey, your ship tumbles over the edge. You can see P1G5 in the cockpit trying to start the engine, and there is a whine of powering repulsors as it starts to tumble toward the abyss... followed by a loud honking noise, as a food shipment lorry slams into your craft breaking it's spine as both halves tumble into the corusanti underworld.
• That was supposed to be everyones ride off this planet.
• SAG leader (Alexia Velpiu) fears his life is in danger, and is trying to convince the port athorities to give him a stormtrooper escort. (may affect other points on Corusanti timeline)

(Tourist team may be able to help?)

The Ship and the Inquisitor

The inquisitor may be discovered by the players, or be part of an imperial party call by, or against, the players. This will affect his additude toward the players and the resources he has to call on. This first encounter is meant to be resolved by talking, saving the combat for the climactic battle.

Fancy meeting you here

• ...A Presence you have not felt since...
• Inquisitor in powerful armor, former friend, tainted by darkness. He is equally suprised by your survival.

Oh... It's YOU.

• Imperial patrol arrives with a heavilly armored Inquisitor
