USH'S STAR WARS GAME- CAMPAIGN II EPISODE III (DARK SIDE)- The Way Back

the bureau? they'd only be alarmed if after taking the ship out of the starport they keep monitoring it until it exits the atmosphere...and i doubt it

We could take it apart and hide it with other parts we get.
Then if they want to check it a little mind trick like " You don't need to check these items. They are nothing but basic parts."

Well, I expect they keep tabs on ships launching from elsewhere on the planet, being an Immigration Bureau. Can't have smugglers, can they?

So we'd have to move our ships back into the starport again to take off - and that would be weird.

What if we separate after landing in starport?- One group could look for the generator, others for the spare parts, one group would pretend to be merchants, others could contact the criminal underground.

After we have information and spare parts, we will get to phase two-getting the generator.

Why do we need the criminal groups at all?

One lie leads to another... And the more people we tell, the more likely it is we'll be discovered. I suggest at most two groups, but if we simply pretend to be merchants equipping an asteroid mining station (which could perhaps need a shield to protect itself from said asteroids) we can acquire the spare parts and recconoitre a generator at the same time. Although, I doubt shields will even be on sale here. It's out of the way, and I'd expect that they don't make them here.

The shield would not help against physical objects.

Probably the best thing to do is send a few of us to search for the spare parts it won't take many to do it.
Also it doesn't matter how we discover the shield as much so long as we find one. Don't forget guys once we find it we still have to take it and get it back to the ship. Meaning we don't have time to be choosy about how we find.
I mean we don't want to draw large attention but we are on a time frame.

Indeed. We haven't the time to search and ally with criminal gangs. But, the shield is first priority.

It may be better to have all of us search for a possible target, and then formulate a plan. If not all members of our team are needed in carrying it out, then the excess can go and search for parts. Sound good?

I agree with your statement.

The next thing is if we're going to take it apart and place in with the other parts to sneak on the ship then where are we going to do this.
We will need to find some kind of HQ on the planet to plan all this as well as place all of our stuff till it is time to leave.

I suggest we use the ships as HQ.

But we do need to acquire some other transport, and if we are going to take the shield apart, then we need somewhere to store it, if that is nesscessary, and we cannot just transport it straight back to the ships.

What about lightning? We could be gas mining, Bespin-style, on a planet with vicouse lightning storms.

Bespin is Rianna's homeworld 😛

(random tidbit of info there...)

Getting spare parts isn't a priority, it's something we can work on doing if we have time. Getting a generator and getting it back to the ship is the most important thing to do. We're definitely going to have to get some sort of transport to get it back to the ships.

i agree about the ships being our HQ. I think we need a place to store all the spare parts to because we can't take them back directly to the ship if we want to put the disasembled generator in them. Plus I think once we take the shield generator we need to take it back there and get everything ready then leave as soon as possible to the ships. We don't want to take it back to the ships directly after taking it but we don't want be there to long after taking it.

😑 you've lost me....we need to keep it simple chaps.
first thing's first. assuming we do find a way to move the generator....we have to agree on a way to load it inside the ships.
my suggestion would be for someone to take off and come pick the loading crew from outside the starport somewhere.

I thought we could just take the generator apart then put it in the spare parts we find the some force tricks such as " You don't need to check these parts....... They are of no concern." To get them to the ships. i thought that could work.

Why can't we load it straight away?

The more time between the robbery and our escape, the more likely it becomes that all space travel will be stopped.

Read my thread above I was just giving a possible plan nothing concrete just throwing out suggestions.

yep..if carrying it as a whole is possible, that should be our choice

Yeah, that's a good idea. Mixing the parts of the generator with the other spare parts.

But I don't see the reason for finding a place to store the shield in between the theft and the escape...?

My question wasn't about loading it as a whole - if possible, we should definately do that - but simply about doing it straight away.

I thought it would be the best thing to do.
First this way we get everything we want
Secondly if we take it throught the starport then we won't have to worry about them tracking us.
