USH'S STAR WARS GAME EPISODE VI- Orbital Chase (Jedi vs. Dark Side)

Gallador feels some hope in this dire situation, seeing Galder coming to the rescue. He continues shooting the turret...

Can Soapy (Denz's astromech), help us in any way?

Roan's time to shine this turn as he gets a stellar attack in, even as Xavier tries to dodge- and Andro is hardly inaccurate either, and with both ships cross-firing on the target, the shields give out and bits start blowing off of it.

Hits scored:

Nexu's Grin- did not fire at New Beginning

Spirit- 2 hits evaded, 3 scored on New Beginning

The Free Flier- 3 hits on New Beginning. Turret fire hits Paladin for 2

Sunlit Dancer - 1 hit evaded, 2 scored on Spearhead

Xavier, your rear bulkheads have collapsed; there are multiple fires inside the ship and only by the grace of the Force is main power still holding. However...

The gravity well clearance point is 50!

At this point I will need to know what the Jedi intend to do. New Beginning is virtually yours to destroy but you may want to consider other options.

At the same time, I need the Dark Siders' final answer on where they are actually going.

Can we agree on Hoth as a rendezvous?

I am fine with this.

Sure let's do that. You know as long as the Jedi don't blow us to kingdom come!

Is Kingdom Come near Hoth?

Is the jamming still up or can we broadcast to the New Beginning?

Regardless, I will open a channel, broadcasting in the clear.

"Surrender Immediately. You have no other options. Power down your engines. Any further action and we will not hesitate to destroy you. This is your only option."

No comms I am afraid.

Is there a way to physically put my ship between the New Beginning and the gravity well?

The edge of the well you mean- no, he'd just go above or below or around.

Is there a way to disable the hyperdrive with our shooting?

He'd just blow up.

And for some more Dark Side pressure- Hoth is an extended hyperspace journey. Xavier won't make that.

What if we ram his ship into submission instead of shoot it?

Stop trying to blow me up!!!!

Also can someone make an information roll to get us a spot to jump to that Xavier can reach but is more of the fringe of Republic space? Maybe Gallador?

Sounds like a Savoir-Faire check to me. Rand is our best guy for that.

"Rand, where are we going?" Galder shouts over his shoulder, getting ready to make the jump to hyperspace and hoping that Xavier pulls out of there.

Haha no way of taking Xavier alive I am afraid, unless he surrenders (unlikely as he has a bunch if other players with him. And for that matter, he might veto his own surrender).

Really more of a bigger picture thing here, as downing the ship gets you few answers.

It's a Pilot roll to make a hyperspace calculation to somewhere nearby under stress. It ain;t like dusting crops...

How close can we go? Gallador has the coordinates from Merik, right, as does Rand? Is this an option?

What is Eller the Seer doing in this dire situation?

"We may not make it..." Gallador says to her.
