Crimson Squadron - a Star Wars campaign

A gurps lite exploration with x-wing miniature space combat.

Campaign Background

We are situated in the Gaulus sector of the Outer Rim Territories. Near the home-planet of the Twi’lek, Ryloth.

The party is composed of experienced adventurers of various types, all capable of flying a star-fighter in combat, though some better than others. Your characters have reason to cooperate and work against the Galactic Empire or would not have been chosen to fly in the Crimson Squadron.

You start on a small space refueling station known as Staion76 which is also a secret waypoint for Rebellion activity.

Recently, you’ve been asked or ordered to participate in a new Rebel splinter acting out of station 76, which while being a refueling and not-so-secret smuggling station, has not been known to be a rebel base. Someone is about to change that. They’ve gathered a few hodge-podge star-fighters, some munitions and enough intel to begin applying pressure to some imperial resources.

Mission 1

There is a small research facility on a large asteroid within one parsec. We have reason to believe a recent communicae, though using a very old encryption method and only partially deciphered, is from a high-level researcher who is wishing to join the rebellion. She has reached out and asked for an extraction after the installation has been occupied by imperial forces.

We have reason to believe this mission, though likely not highly dangerous must be executed rapidly before whatever she was researching falls into the Empire’s hands...if we’re not already too late.

Our surveillance of imperial transit also indicates an imperial shuttle is in the area and may be bound for the research facility.

Try to beat them there and find Doctor Carelle before she succumbs to the imperial grasp. Your fighters are being prepped in the hidden docking bay beneath the trash compactor. May the Force be with you.
