Battle of Bakura - Questions

[denderan marajain]

I own the Truce at Bakura Sourcebook and i want to play this part of Star Wars history with my Group but i have a few "Problems"


1. Are there any official oder unoffical adventures who have this struggle on the subject? I did not find anyting


2. I found 3 Sites and every site had different Information about the Military strength the three fractions possess. Where i find the correct one?


Thank you in advance for your support

I suspect the trouble you are having is because there is no official total given, it's novel after all, so a lot of the details like this are not important to the plot.

I'm guessing the Sourcebook doesn't have this information? (they sometimes do)

If you don't already have it you could mybe try the Essential Guide to Warfare, it might contain such info (I'm sure someone else who has it can confirm or deny its relevant contents)

Otherwise you are left with going with whichever of the sources you have already looked at you think is right/can live with. Often this is the best that can be done and, on the plus side, the fact that you couldn't find accurate info means the players definitely won't know.

Though WEG did put out a "Truce at Bacura" source book, one thing i was really irked about is there is NO Mechanics for their Entechment process. Just a write=up of what it is and what it is used for..

@all

Thank you very much for your help

I will show you the results as soon as i am done

@Garhkal

They play on the Alliance side and by now i did not think about capturing and consequences. Thanks for bringing it up

[garhkal]

Getting captured and enteched would be a nasty fate for pcs.. Especially since there are no rules for what happens when you are enteched..

Are you auto-killed as your life force gets sucked out into the machine you power?
Is there some resistance rolls you can try? If so, what skill(s) are used?
Is the operator of the Enteching device rolling something to use it? If so, what?
Is that an opposed roll?

If it's started successfully (and doesn't get resisted), how quickly does someone "Die" as their life force is sucked out into the awaiting machine?

IF a pc Does get enteched into the machine, can they exhert any control over said machine? Or is he 'slaved' to what ever master unit controls them all??

I'd probably give a stamina roll to see how long the body holds out.

Then a Willpower roll to see how long the soul can hold on to the body.

For heroic PCs, it'd be 1 day per point rolled. To give the other players a chance to rescue their captured mate.

Maybe. It depends. A mook probably would get dealt with quickly because most have low stamina and willpower. I suppose it would depend most on how important the NPC is.

It's not script immunity. It's a race against the clock. How long can the PC hold out while his friends try to rescue him?

How much time gets burnt up in hyperspace travel alone?

There should be some chance to rescue the character, don't you think? It builds up drama and gives players a sense of urgency, what if the captured player rolls really badly? He's got just a few days before the character is lost.

From what I recall of the novels, the entenchment chair or device or whatever was akin to torture, heavily seated in the dark side. To me, having a strong character have to endure days/weeks/months of agonizing pain as their sentience is essentially ripped from them is bad enough. No reason for it to be over in a moment.

Maybe, but in that novel, they were able to entech HUNDREDS of people in a few days at most...

Hundreds of no-name characters. That isn't to say they don't have more than one chamber for doing this to people.

It's okay gar, you and I agree on very few things.
