Okay, so I will go with pretending to be maintenance. Do others agree?

As for escape plan - have ally be on standby with a ship, we could get speeders to get to it quickly.

How hardcore are the air defenses around the Palace, if Xavier's Ally swooped in in the New Beginning?

In all likelihood we're going to have to steal speeders and flee.

I support servants/maintenance as our pitch.

Well it's not the most dangerous place in the galaxy, but expect it to be serious. It's a pirate empire, after all; space power is part of the deal.

Do we remember if there were many speeders in the area last time we were at the Palace?

Well it's a city. There are vehicles all over.

Quite a few of them on fire when Edna was there lately.

Hmm, so it's possible that they've been damaged in the chaos and aren't usuable.

Maybe.

They won't ALL be on fire...

We should do some reconnaissance.

The longer you mess around there, the more the risk of being spotted increases.

So we need to go to Selene slightly earlier so those of us with proper skills can do some recnnaissance, right?

edit - I didn`t see Ush's last post - se maybe better to just get to Palace and lie our way into entering and we can take some speeders from Epireus.

How about good old make-up to help disguise ourselves. If necessary Rah will shave off his distinctive facial fur if it helps to change his appearance.

Like I said above, you still need to make the relevant rolls.

I'll give you guys a week more to plan- if no coherent plan by then, it's all off!

I think all we're trying to decide right now is how we're getting out.

Getting in will be done either by sneaking (a separate group going up the dome or other means) or talking (maintenance, servants, etc.). Once inside, we get as close to our lightsabers as possible before starting any fighting.

Ok, but I do need everyone to confirm what task they are doing come the big day else, again, it's off.

Right we need to

1 - Organise a rendezvous point for escape with a ship and pilot at the ready.
2 - Plan the distractions
3 - Sort out disguises for going after Rivas and who is doing what

People- decide if you are sneaking in or talking in. If nobody chooses, I'm assigning groups.

Con's gonna be talking his way to Rivas' throat.

So you go with Gallador.

Why should we sepetate our approach at all?

Would there be any advantage to it? It might make our group look less suspicious if it is smaller. We are going to have a LOT of us, since it's not just the Dark Jedi now.

But I'm guessing if one group gets caught, the jig is up for everyone and the fighting starts.

Splitting the group sounds like a bad idea. If the small sneaky group gets caught they'll be outnumbered. We're stronger together. It's our whole shtick as a Dark Side group anyway.
