Zed Proceeds to inspect the ship very thoroughly, himself and R2-9F
You can eat off the engineering deck plates, and the galley surfaces. Some door that were built narrower are widened.

Okay, noted. Zed is taking inventory as well. this is going to be long process.

Once he's done (In several days with droid help)

He calls his old C/o

General Gannet - An experienced old general in the rebellion. Means he's good at managing his resources, knowing precisely what he has, when, hitting them where they ain't and getting away before the overwhelming force arrives.

When Gannet was Major and then Colonel Gannet, he ran special forces groups - he'd make sure they had gear and transport, working with intel he'd find places for his special ops teams to raid, get them there and out.

Now General Gannet runs logistics and support for several sectors of outmanned and outgunned Republic peacekeepers.

Zed: "Here is the ship I have been given." (Sends specs and report on the condition of the ship)

OOC: Every time I fat finger - it adds generic business speak phrases I have to delete.

Gannet (!!!) "Alright, Zed, let me talk to some people and I'll be right back."


Step one - an intel team to go there and ascertain "What the fuck"

Step two - arrange a space in new republic control for Zed to bring his new ship.

Step 3 depends on how step 1 works out.

Step Zero: "His inspection would find the vault that will help him keep this beast. Full of untraceable money. The ship's official paperwork naming him as sole owner.

Sept One: The Fuck is you have an older but recently refit and sparkly clean Correlian Corvette. It has some odd modifications, like the huge Captain's stateroom, some wider doors and so forth.

Step Two is done by the CO I do not know.

CO: (In person) "Zed, it's hard to credit, but everything is perfectly right. Who did you find to hand you a ship?"

Did CO being any Force sensitive people with him?

Step Three: ????

Zed: "Where we're at now is crazy. If I tried to explain it you in any more detail, you'd lock me up. To Summarize - I met beings who seemed to be the force incarnate. One has this ship, but had o use for it, so handed it off to me, so it might find a practical use."

You're the GM! Roll some dice to see if he did!

How would the New Republic work out having an ally who showed up with a ship?


My thought is he gets assigned a crew and runs around doing things for them.

BUT - in the Mandalorian series - set about 5 years after the Battle of Endor, we see the New Republic actively being sabotaged - hidden partisans of the Empire within the ranks of the New Republic are forcing a "Work to the rule" problem. So the New Republic is already being strangled by it's own red tape.

This leaves outposts on the edges of the thing struggling with too many calls and not enough ships and people.

So Zed might find a role as a mercenary good guy in the ship. It's a pattern he grew up with. His first Master Aleph Null was part of a mercenary fighter suadron that flew off mercenary ships and from planets that hired them for security

So he'd reach for that pattern.

Getting enough of the right kind of people to help run the thing would be a the challenge

At the end of "Skeleton Crew" A Corvette and a flight of X-Wings turn up and rescue everyone from the Pirates who have been menacing them. (The PC victory there was that they delayed anHow many d obfustaced the Pirates long enough for help to arrive)

So that sort of ship does do patrol work for the New Republic.


How many crew does this ship need to function? And what's her name?

The name is the Senator Santos as I said,

I'm going to leave how this works out because I don;'t really know the circumstance of Zed's Lucasverse. It is not the same one that Coran was in.

It's 5 years after the Battle Of Endor - the New Republic is working on getting it's shit together. The Galaxy is more chaotic and crime ridden than before - more fertile ground for adventures.

There are places where law and order carry the day. We've seen a couple of cases where frontier adventuring types venture into more civilized spaces.

So really anything could be happening.

The Mandalorian is a Space Western set on the fringes.

Skeleton Crew has children from a Planet that is Space Suburbia and throws them right into "Pirates of the Carribean, but in Space"

Asohka had former Rebels trying to get along with an official command structure while tracking down Admiral Thrawn and his last scheme.

They were developing a No shit cop show centered around... this guy - Carson teva

This is God's own SW RPG set up. A Scappy base on the frontier, trying to enforce law and order without enough people and resources. I should have just stolen it outrightright
