These posts are my recap of our group's Star Wars Saga Edition game. They are written as a kind of "Ship's Log", from my character (Burt Larsson)'s point of view.

We'd been back for nearly a week when Montag with another job offer. Good thing, too - there wasn't much to do around home. Well, always lots of little jobs, but compared to what we got to rescue the senator's son? Wasn't worth our time!
We did try to offload those, ah, 'sticks', but still no buyers. Some great lot of goods they were... maybe folk on Kubindi will be more interested in them? That's right - way back out to another outer-rim world. Good thing the mission is worth it, else we'd be paying more in fuelling the 'Raptor than in crew costs!
Clearly we impressed someone. Montag's offer was from the "Republic Armed Forces Special Division", and it was totally our line of work: some crazed radical group - they called them a "faction", I think - is upsetting the populace. Civil wars, uprisings, all that nonsense. And we have been given the go-ahead - I mean, are being paid to do the job - of sneaking into their base, taking down their shields, and lighting up key locations for orbital strikes. Man, was I ever made for this job!
Adam will do great, too, of course - he's been working hard over his latest suit upgrades. He's nearly as silent as I am when he wants to be, and he's carrying over thirty kilos of metal in that suit! Anyway, the two of us should be able to slip in there, plant the tracers, help KH get the charges in place, and be back to Anton and the 'Raptor in time for a smooth getaway! Easiest stack of creds we've ever made!
...maybe I'm being too harsh. If things go south, Ralrlanna will definitely be handy to have around. Just...how many of us can really go in, and remain undiscovered? We're a day out already - it's not like we can leave them somewhere. Just gotta plan things around it.
Montag says he can get us codes for our transponder to get inside the base; there, we're all going to 'sneak inside' via some large crates the 'Raptor is delivering. Crates! Like we're some sort of animal...
Montag's offered to look after the ship, which Anton didn't seem to happy about. He's had the controls tweaked just so; someone else messing with them might take another week to reset. At least the jedi seem to be reasonably agreeable to remaining on the ship, and standing in as guards. Hopefully no one will try to take our ship whilst we're 'on mission', but it's never wise to totally let our guard down, especially when handing the controls over to someone else.
I'm making sure all my ammo clips are fully charged - packed a few extra clips for the slugthrowers, just in case any of the droids pop up with some shields. Who knows how this will go down? But, no - I'm confident. We can do this, it's easy enough. Sneak in, plant the devices, sneak out - what could go wrong?

They are coming with us. Now, the jedi, I can understand (not really - but I'd make an exception: their robes are simple enough, they don't make that much noise, and their blades can cut through nearly any wall we may come across). But on what planet did Montag think the wookie was stealthy? He can't even say hello without alerting the entire ship!...maybe I'm being too harsh. If things go south, Ralrlanna will definitely be handy to have around. Just...how many of us can really go in, and remain undiscovered? We're a day out already - it's not like we can leave them somewhere. Just gotta plan things around it.
