Tonight's session, the first of Episode II: Rise of the Empire, opened above the ocean planet of Aquilae. A small Republic shuttle approached under the cover of night, descending to a landing platform outside one of Aquilae's archipelago cities, and discharged its passengers: Obi-Wan Kenobi, and his apprentice Anakin Skywalker. The two attempted a covert entrance into the city, but were soon stopped by Aquilae's Governor Tarkin. The governor warned Kenobi and Skywalker about meddling in Aquilaean ...

The group retreats back to the Star Phoenix and blasts off. Thanks to the expert piloting of BL3K, Anakin, and Janos, they manage to lose pursuit by Republic starfighters in the comet's trail.

Anakin is awestruck by the beauty of Alderaan, and amazed at Bail Organa's hospitality. After all, Anakin ...

Tonight (May 8) I ran the first session of my new D6 mini-campaign.
