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.

The past few days have been strange, and a little awkward. I can't help but shake the feeling that the new folk might be holding me partially responsible for the rodian's death...like any of them would have found the hidden capsule and removed it safely! And it wasn't even as if they were poisoned for that long.
Anyway, I used the down time to work on the speeder bikes we took from Tatooine. Sadly, those Apple Gangers didn't take good care of their vehicles - sand through every joint, and parts deteriorated badly. Most will be little better than scrap, but I might be able to find a spare part here and there. Even if I do, by the initial scan of the planet(-oid?), our bikes won't be any use for this trip. Jungle everywhere, and whilst some might be able to pilot through it, the going would be slow, and the others would still have to walk. Anton says we can't even take our transport down, as anything flying close to their settlement (a clearing in the middle of the jungle) would be picked out, and set off whatever warnings they had. For some reason, direct bombardment of their ships was voted against, too.
So it looks like we have a forced march on our hands. Three days, maybe four, through heavy foliage and treacherous trees. And probably some level of indigenous creatures - who knows what lives in there, but it must be fearsome to have kept settlers away!

Jungle, jungle, jungle! Trees and more trees, mossy creeks, and then some sharp, stinging vines. I'm sure I spotted some moving on their own, but no one believed me. Kept my mask on, just to be sure. The jedi are taking it in turns leading the way, the group deciding that a more forceful (heh - get it?) approach was needed. Their lightsabers cut through the foliage and clear a path for others. The noise and light was deemed more useful than sending scouts on ahead.
Even after we were ambushed by some...strange ape creatures (Takeo suggested that they were related to the Gundark, though they didn't seem as ferocious as those on Vanqor.), we continued with the jedi in front. At least, after their attempted ambush, we were all much more aware of what was happening, and fought the other creatures off with ease. They stopped bothering us after a while - clearly, concerned with losing too many of their number. Maybe they aren't as dumb as their distant cousins?
From one of the treetops, Adam managed to spot the camp - it didn't appear to be alerted yet, and he was confident that we would reach its perimeter by tomorrow afternoon. Hopefully, we'll all be back on the 'Raptor by dinner time - it will be good to sleep in a bed again!
