Are there docks in Jaklu where one could perhaps check out the Vrakul Trident?

May or may not be looking for a "guest list" during the Heist on Day 3. :D

The rule books are very vague about what ship's sensors can actually do, but I recall people are often scanning/being scanned for "power sources" or "life signs" or whatnot in canon. (We just watched a Rebels episode in which somebody powers down the team's ship + droid to avoid a ship's scan, actually :lol: )

So, Tl;dr, I was wondering whether we can use our ship's sensors on the Chaldi village, which should certainly be within Close planetary range--can we, for example, scan for power cells in hopes of getting a rough count of the Imperial equipment present, and thus roughly how many armed troopers there are? As techno-primitives they presumably shouldn't have a ton of other tech around, which might make the Imp stuff stand out?

What's the feeling on going to research a question you already made a knowledge check on? Does "hitting the books" (spacebooks) allow for another check, at the same/higher/lower difficulty? (or with setbacks, setbacks would be great because I can remove two of those :D)

She's from Tion, but umm I will let Dove answer the rest it's part of her background.

Rephrasing from background:
Claudia Ysaÿe was the Senator of Tion prior to the Clone Wars, and was a voice for more transparancy and anti-corruption in the Republic. Her title as a Senator became mostly useless when Tion aligned itself with the Confederacy of Independent Systems, but she was still involved politically in the Republic in attempts to bridge understanding between Separatists and the Republic as well as supporting peaceful negotiations.

In the wake of Order 66 and the rise of the Galactic Empire, she was arrested on grounds of conspiring against the Empire and aiding the Jedi traitors.

To clarify, are any other actions possible besides punching it? I think you said explicitly no to valuable facts, but the co-piloting ship action, angling shields....

It's a combo of punch it and dodging, if you want to trade blows with the cannon we can shift to more organized round by round play but this is just a roll but co-pilot can aid the pilot.

Triumph! (with 1 threat).

Thoughts for that triumph...

-they didn't get our transponder ID, and/or they think we've been safely blown up (since I fluffed it as us dropping straight off the cliff edge)
-because we dropped down, they accidentally hit something in the village, making more of the Chaldi turn against them

Any of those interest you, GM sir?

Does the posting of D5 stuff mean it's too late to start a d4 library thread? Just some research, could go in PF also.

GM's Note: This day is 4 days long.
Do you mean that the event block takes 4 days IC, or that we are going to spend four OOC days in the block?

Is Cucklu fish available in Rygor?

Also, can I spend X credits on generic "gifts for Anzuri" and assume I figure out something appropriate? If so, what value of X might be good for making friends?
