Eerin, you almost mistake it for Geonosis, but there are no rings about it and its the wrong color.
Kyle, however, recognizes it. The planet is a dusty shade of brown with patches of darker brown, most likely a desert world... a blue tinge to the edges indicates an atmosphere... sporting two prominent moons and a smaller one... located in a binary system...
"Eerin, we're in luck for once. Sort of." He points out the forward viewport at the brown orb looming in the distance. "That, my friend, is Tatooine. And on Tatooine is a place called Mos Eisley. You will never find a more wretched hive of scum and villiany. (Sorry, but you knew one of us was going to say it.) It's the perfect place for us to lie low and fix our ship. It's also crawling with bounty hunters, thieves, murderers, and probably a few politicians. If Rylis finds us here, we won't have to worry about the Law or any innocents getting in the way. Let's set her down."
Good idea, Eerin. Sublight thrusters will take some time, but they won't deposit you into the planet's core, like a faulty hyperdrive might.
Slowly but surely, Tatooine increases in size as you bring the ship zooming closer.
A few warning lights flare up as you pass Tattoo I and II, the prominent moons of the desert world. The first reminds you that the hyperdrive cannot be used inside a gravitational field.
The second informs you that the engines are overheating.
The Last Laugh inches ever closer to the enormous dustball until it fills up your view, Eerin.
Kyle runs to the engine room. Upon opening the hatch, you are greeted with a cloud of dark smoke and a wave of heat. Nothing is aflame, but something must have blown. You can barely see the room beyond the doorway.
You're pretty handy with a hydrospanner, Kyle, but whatever happened in here, it will take some examination after you filter out the engine room. Doing so in space is a terrible idea, before you suggest it.
You manage to reach the control panels, seeing their light through the smoke. They inform you that the engines are overheating due to a malfunction in the engine system, starting with the hyperdrive.
The amount of power that it takes to function the hyperdrive is massive, while the sublight engines require much less, in comparison. However, with the hyperdrive on the fritz, that immense power surge is channeling into the engines.
Seeing that the excess power is causing their trouble, Kyle attempts to decrease the reactor output to compensate. To help alleviate the problems, he tells Eerin, "Believe it or not, we have a power surplus right now. Turn everything ON that you can until I get the reactor under control. Shields, weapons, sensors, the food processor, your bunk light, whatever you can to bleed off this power surge."
This plan would be working well if Eerin was more technologically-skilled than he is. It does not help that much of the equipment is beginning to malfunction due to the power flux and whatever has happened to cause this.
To make matters worse, as the engines threaten to overheat, they also begin to accelerate. It is becoming increasingly difficult to control the craft.
And as if this isn't enough, the Last Laugh plows into Tatooine's arid atmosphere going way past the safe entry speed, jolting it roughly.
To summarize, Kyle has prevented the engines from blowing up, but it won't matter if Eerin crashes the ship.
(Well, if Kyle's done all he can, he'll return to the cockpit and take over piloting. He already has a plan: Pick the longest approach that wil still land them within comfortable distance of the city. Moments before touchdown, Kyle will turn the repulsors and landing thrusters on full power (with an assumed boost from the surge) to dump all the speed he can and hopefully land in good shape.)
The difficulty of this saving roll is 20...
Kyle, with his understanding of the Last Laugh's controls, has a Pilot skill of 15. Eerin, assisting, has a Pilot skill of 10.
Kyle rolls a 13... but with the high difficulty of this feat, that is a fail by two. The throttle jerks under your hands, Kyle, as the ship threatens to spiral out of control in its death dive.
However... Eerin rolls a 14. On its own, this a horrible fail. But as co-pilot, his results supplement Kyle's, giving Kyle's roll an Outcome of two! A pass!
As the desert sands of Tatooine race up to meet the ship as it plummets, you both yank on the throttle hard. Finally responding to your efforts, the Last Laugh wrenches out of its dreadful dive and starts to level out...
...when it hits a dune.
You both lose your grip on the throttle, thrown back in your seats by the impact, and black out.

Kyle, you feel like you've been hit over the head with a Star Destroyer.
