Under Fire is one-shot adventure module for Star Wars RPG.
It is a time of civil war. The evil GALACTIC EMPIRE continues to strike against the rag-tag REBEL ALLIANCE. During this time of downed ships and lost causes, rebel technicians have created a new type of emergency beacon. Discreet and more powerful than the standard model, these engineering marvels could save countless Rebel lives, if only they get into the right hands before they are needed.
As they follow jobs across the galaxy, a ragtag crew has been delivering boxes of transponders to Rebel operatives and sympathizers. Next on their list is AADLAN MYDER of the Cobalt Front. But finding this contact on the lava-licked world of SULLUST may prove a challenge….
When a player in my Desert Rose Solutions campaign expressed interest in an adventure set on a volcanic world, Sullust was a natural choice. I had really enjoyed a piece of Rebels fanfic set there, and the adventure part of it seemed a good way for my group of PCs to interact with a novel environment. With the author’s permission, I have adapted “First Flight” by Shannon Philips into a one-shot adventure module entitled Under Fire. (“First Flight” takes place just after the canon novel A New Dawn by John Jackson Miller.)
Clarifications
Question: Are the Drutash Scarabs supposed to have a weapon associated with them or are they supposed to simply do Brawn + Successes for damage?
Answer: The scarabs are intended to just do normal Brawl, so Brawn + Successes for damage. (They are a watered down version of the Green Bug Swarm Rival from Beyond the Rim p44, but without the stinger.) The scarabs are included for flavor and as a nuisance, not intended to be a major threat. If you GM for a group that really prioritizes soak, and you’re looking for this to be a more significant combat, you might want to consider bumping that up a bit.
