Your Most Memorable SWRPG Moment...

...You know, that one story that even years later you LOVE to tell about your character (or PC group).

What made it memorable? Was it funny, did you triumph over impossible odds, or just something so bizarre that you wouldn't have believed it had you not been there?

Post it here and share with the group! emoticon

Re: Your Most Memorable SWRPG Moment...

I'll start off with one of the most stupid and most memorable thing a person in my group did:

A little backstory - this is a d20 campaign, all the characters are about 12th level or so. The Jedi Master of this story basically took the Jedi Ace PRC just so he could get some space action. As soon as he realized how dangerous it was, he decided not to get involved. His apprentice is the same level as the Jedi Master, but took several levels of Soldier and Scoundrel first, and was known as a "I can use skills" Jedi

A massive battle with Ssi-ruuk and their fleet is going on. The Party has two ships a freighter and a White Cloak starfighter. The Jedi Master and the Apprentice get in the fighter and start flying cover for the freighter.

In a series of massive ion blast hits, the fighter is taking quite a beating and shuts down, as the freighter speeds on by. The Jedi Master announces quite matter of factly: "Padawan, repair the ship!"

The Apprentice looks at him and says, "How?"

At that point the GM, myself and the rest of the party starts to laugh uncontrollably as neither of them took the Repair skill. As they could not repair the damage to their ship quickly enough to being caught... The captain of the freighter risks life and limb to fly back attaches a docking claw to the starfighter and whisks them away rather quickly and amazingly.

From that point the captain of the Freighter taught every Jedi Student 1 rank in Pilot, and 1 rank in repair (even if it was cross classed

Re: Your Most Memorable SWRPG Moment...

I'd have to say that my favorite time was the time the group I was GMing came across a pirate captain's personal stash of alien porn and, at a later date, made use of certain portions of said stash as incentive in coercing someone to give them what they needed. Gotta love a techy who can turn an astro droid's holorecorder into a holo jukebox.

As to the specifics, I'll leave that to your imagination.

Re: Your Most Memorable SWRPG Moment...

Our group (privateers at that point) had teamed up with another privateer captain, a rebel Nebulon-B frigate and a big group of pro-alliance pirates to capture and steal ships from an Imperial service station. I won't go into the details how they actually did it, but they managed to steal 2 Dreadnaughts and an Imperial Escort Carrier, which had been stripped of all fighters by the local Imps to put them onto an Executor-Class command ship in need of them.

While they were flying theyr prey to Sluis Van to deliver the ships to the New Republic, the convoy was grabbed out of hyperspace by pirates who had moved a huge rock into the hyperjump route.

"We are the blablabla pirates. Surrender and we will only take your ships and leave you with your lives. If you..."

Then the pirates realized what they had cought:

2 Dreadnaughts
1 Escort Carrier
1 Nebulon-B
1 Corellian CR-90 Corvette
1 Cargo Empress (converted into a carrier)
1 Corellian Gunboat
1 Corvette sized and heavily armed junk ship
2-4 additional Picket ships
A dozen or more X-Wings and A-Wings

They didn't take the time to realize that the three biggest ships in that fleet were in no fighting conditions, since they had barely enough crew on board to get them from A to B without falling apart, or exploding. They would not have stood a chance against half that fleet anyway. So they ran. Quickly. So quickly, that they left theyr 4 fighters behind, which were not equipped with hyperdrives. Poor bastards...
