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.

I managed to find a sturdy rifle for the droid - "KH-74", he claims was his preferred name - and together we disembarked on Duro to track down this Stapleton. We only had the name of an establishment, not much to go on, really, but Adam - I mean, Nighthawk - did some neat work on the 'Raptor's terminal before we landed, and managed to find a reasonably close hangar.
Splitting up momentarily, Adam and I set to scouting out the general location around her dive (which wasn't that 'dive-y' after all), whilst Montag worked his officer-mojo on the desk clerks. He didn't find anything, really, so we all rejoined outside the Rainbow Unicorn, and discussed the plan - pretty simple, really.
Ralrlanna was too hard to disguise, the jedi were a dead giveaway (how come they never pack disguises?), and Elizabeth had already taken pot shots at Anton and myself - there was a chance she'd recognise us. So it was down to the others: Nighthawk, the "looking-for-work" bounty hunter; and Montag, shadowed by his droid "bodyguard". They scoped out the bar, asked questions, and generally kept an eye out. The others waited nearby in one of our hired speeders, and I perched atop a building opposite.
Well, she came by, predictably enough. Bought the line Adam gave her, and offered a meet-up somewhere "with less eyes". Heh, if only she knew... We were all waiting for her; me up high once again, Montag on top of a dumpster, whilst KH hid inside a second one. Taeko and Darossk stayed with Ralrlanna in the speeder, having shadowed Elizabeth to her home and back again. And Nighthawk, his armour all polished and intimidating, stood waiting.
There were some words exchanged, but the whole thing basically boiled down to "Blah blah blah, hidden dart to the face!!" Well, it would have, if Adam had spent more time practising his suit's armaments, and less time cleaning the darn thing.
So, we all have to leap in to help out - the jedis using their training blades, the wookie even pulling out some nasty pike thing! Our new droid friend seems to only know "kill" (I can approve of that, normally), so decided to take his frustration out on Elizabeth's speeder. Ah, then she made the mistake of declaring "You'll never take me alive!" Really, who does that?
And, yeah, then we took her alive. And totally nothing interesting happened afterwards. No one stuck their fingers in her strange, rodian mouth, checking for a suicide pill. No one triggered said suicide pill. No one released a burst of toxic gas onto those others around the unconscious, definitely alive, definitely taken, Elizabeth.
Suffice to say, we didn't get any further information from her...directly. And, no one was in a particularly good mood with me afterwards.
Her docket led us back to her ship, and with a little work, we had Adam sitting in front of her travel logs. Apparently, just after leaving Tatooine, she had stopped off at an unnamed, uninhabited planet. Suspicious, and annoying - we had to go all the way back out to the outer rim... At least the planet only had one settlement, and it looked pretty temporary. <CLASSIFIED> was bound to be there.
Oh, and looks like I wasn't the only one messing it up today: Adam tripped some nasty self-destruct thing, and we all barely made it out of the hangar before the entire ship erupted in flames.
