So this group has had 4 more sessions now and they all seem to be digging the
system.
The following is a quick rundown of the events of the past few sessions. I plan to do a proper writeup of this campaign as it goes, either in a seperate thread or a blog of some sort.
Session 2:
Having signed on as on call privateers/smugglars the party heads back to the spaceport. As they get closer they see a Victory class Star Destroyer in low orbit over the spaceport, blockading all space traffic. They are told to "wait for their signal" before they make their way into the spaceport concorse.
Their "signal" comes as a flight of Y-wings and Z-95 headhgunters launches a volley of missiles at the Victory class Star Destroyer. Panic erupts in the spaceport and it's surrounding cit. The PC's use the panic to make their way towards their landing pad. As they get there they find a team of imperial engineers and officers casing the ship and documenting the contents. By this point the storm that was brewing begins and rain falls in buckets over the landing pad.
The PC's take out the imperials with a little help (the mandalorian player having been compelled to be on planet looking for recruits for his clan). In the confusion making an escape is easy, and they make for deep space.
Session 3:
The PC's make for Nar Shaadda in Hutt Space as a place to lay low for a while.
In the inerum the smuggler had looked over the datapad lifted from the dead officers listing off their cargo. Noticing that they foind the holocrons and documented and transmitted the data to his superiors the PCdecide to hole up for a few weeks.
The Chiss PC decides he wants to try and clear his name for the bombing of a state building on Corellia (part of his backstorey). What better way to do that than collecting your OWN bounty? So he tracks down another Chiss on planet (chiss are VERY rare in the greater galaxy). This particular chiss is on a slave transport making a pitstop before delivering it's slave cargo to the planet below, Nal Hutta (Nar Shaadda is Nal Hutta's moon). This chiss is to be brought to public auction on the planet, but our PC's have other plans. The Chiss PC decides to buy this person from the slaver then elaboratly stage his death, turning in the slave's corpse as his own. The Smuggler takes some Stormtrooper armor he scavanged from the previous session and modifies it to make it look like a bounty hunter's getup.
The transaction goes off and the PC's spend a few days making the body look "convincing" applying the appropriate bruises and scraps (the poor fellow has to be alive for the bruising to happen right...)
After a few days the smuggler dons his Bounty Hunter getup and marches the poor guy out to a crouded walkway, tells him to run and cuts his bonds. The guy runs, not needing to be told twice, and is promptly shot in the back by our Chiss PC sniping from a rooftop. The "Bounty Hunter" then wades through the crowd brandishing his blaster, and making a fuss out of "only getting to collect for dead now".
The body is turned in at the local Bounty Hunter's Guild office, and credits are transferred. Just before session end they get a call from their Chandrillan contact...
More to come.
