That's definitely more ISB's Enforcement branch than CompForce Assault units. |
Judging by what I read, I think I have to agree.

You know, those pretty boys who get all the cool toys, best medical care, and are supposedly the Emperor's favorites/elite while the stormtrooper corps couldn't hit the broadside of a blaster bolt with a bantha.
My question is this: has anybody every actually used them in their games? Did you use them as-is or reskin them as more-skilled stormtroopers. I know they're pretty much non-canon now anyway, but, regardless of edition/version of the RPG played, how did it work out? |
No I don't think I have ever used them much but I have nothing against them and may use them. All I've done is made a PC template that combined the CompForce trooper template in Heroes & Rogues with the Imperial Bounty Hunter template from GG10 - A compForce veteran that did his ten years then used his contacts to go into bounty hunting. But haven't had a campaign that could use that template since.

Interesting. Care to share the template? I think he might make an interesting foe for my game.

Imperial Bounty Hunter
DEX 3D+1
KNO 3D
MEC 3D+1
PER 3D+1
STR 3D
TEC 2D
Equipment: Heat reflective armor (+2 Energy , +1D Physical), Blaster carbine (5D), Heavy blaster pistol (5D), Knife (STR+1D), 3 Stun grenades (5D Stun), medpac, macrobinoculars, restraints, comlink, datapad, IPKC bounty hunter license, 1000 credits.
Background: You come from a part of the Empire few ever heard of and fewer still know much about. You left your family a long time ago, and haven't spent much time looking back.
Now you're a ten-year veteran of CompForce's Assault branch. Taking full advantage of all of your COMPNOR contacts, you went into business for yourself as an Imperial bounty hunter.
You are the long arm of Imperial law in a lawless galaxy. Your job is to bring the criminals and Rebels to face justice. You don't lose any sleep over a job well done. The Empire is a safer place because of you.
It's only a matter of time before that blaster bolt with your name on it catches up to you, but no matter. For now, you've got the thrill of chase. You never really planned on living to a ripe old age anyway.
Personality: You approach your job with the notion that any contract worth doing is worth doing right the first time. Anyone who stands in you way is a traitor in their own right, to be dealt with later. You make a difference and the rest of galaxy knows it. That's why they fear you as much as they do.
Objectives: To clean up the mess those Rebels have created.
A Quote: "You stepped over the line. Now you deal with me."

May I suggest a slightly modified http://d6holocron.com/wiki/index.php?title=Lone_Scout_A-2(LSA-2) Lone Scout A-2 as a good ship for that guy? Furthermore, perhaps he tends to take his victims - I mean, bounties - in Carbonite form, meaning that he's just got slabs up and down in his cargo hold.
That'd be an interesting wrinkle to use in a game. You get nabbed by a bounty hunter, and frozen in Carbonite. 150 years later, you wake up ... |

That's an interesting idea, but it seem logistically problematic as you need a large carbon freeze facility to freeze things. TESB also suggests that it is rarely successful to freeze live beings as they tend to not survive the freezing process.
So if the bounty is wanted alive you would want to risk killing them with carbon freeze, and if the bounty is wanted "dead", it would be much easier and cheaper to just kill them.
And Han was an outlaw bounty from a crime lord, but this character is a legal Imperial bounty hunter. It does not seem that the Empire would need targets encased in carbonite, except for Luke Skywalker going directly to the Emperor.

Very minor question: Is there any reason you've gone with Energy then Physical, rather than the other (which is more common, IME)?

Spinoff of the Carbonite Army, http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Carbonite_Sith_Army
Also, it seemed that the risks weren't that great, given that it was used to get into the Citadel on Lola Sayu. http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Carbonite
I believe, though the exact wording escapes me, that the chief problem with the facility on Bespin was that it wasn't really meant for living things but for things like freezing Tibanna gas. |

It's actually a direct copy of the Equipment listed on the CompForce Trooper template in Heroes and Rogues.

True, but time may also be an issue. If Han suffered hibernation sickness after being frozen over the course of six months, imagine the health effects on someone who had been frozen for a hundred years or more.

Alternate thought: Instead of freezing living creatures, imagine being a bunch of unfrozen droids.

Considering Bespin uses carbon freezing to perfectly preserve and transport Tibanna gas, this sounds much more viable, as an inorganic thing like a droid will likely be far less susceptible to the long-term effects that would threaten a living being under similar circumstances.
