Not sure if Wray would have knowledge of Grand Moff Tarkin's military tactics, but one of his favorite tricks according to Admiral Natasi Daala was to send two Destroyers attacking head-on, and hide another one behind a planet's moon for unexpected backup/surprise attacks. i.e, a moon is a great way to hide a Star Destroyer while still being close to a planet.

Yea, couldn't find much on the Illarreen system in the wiki, looking for moons, asteroid fields/belts, planets with strong magnetic poles, gas giants with thin atmospheres. You know the usual.

Indeed. I went out of my way to pick a planet that had basically no info on it so I could do whatever I pleased with it, honestly, lol.
Though to be fair, I did say from the start I would make whatever changes I please in favor of making a good game even if it's not 100% canon starting from the end of Episode IV, so I guess there's that.

What rebel space station? I never mentioned a space station...

Nah, they won't go with a space station. They'll go with an underwater base. That way the Imperials will be screwed because imperial ships can't go under water.
It will also mean that I will have to buy my second favorite star ship, rather than my first.

I wouldn't go so far as to say they'd be screwed, as orbital bombardment is still more than capable of destroying underwater cities, and the Empire has access to way more underwater capable tech than the Rebellion would have even if all their stuff was underwater, lol. But, yes, underwater would indeed be a good choice, if only since it'd be harder to detect.

Have the Mon Calamari joined the Rebel alliance at this point BTW?

Given that the Mon Calamari were the first civilization to do so, and that a lot more worlds procclaimed their support for the Rebellion after the destruction of the first Death Star, I'd have to say yes, that did happen at this point.

Oh, whoops. I must've misunderstood the conversation. What are we trying to sneak past, in that case?

Oh, I mistook the outpost for a station! My b!

No problem. Basically, the situation is: -The Empire believes a rebel outpost exists on the planet, but aren't 100% sure. -No Rebel ships have been detected in the area since the encrypted communications have been intercepted. -The team's job is to investigate to find out if there is really a Rebel base there; and if there is, they must crush them. For clarity's sake. EDIT: As for the sneaking part, so far the team's plans involve blending in as smugglers in order to not attract attention during the investigation, so it's not as much a matter of sneaking past something as it is not revealing outright that you are Imperial agents.

Okay... How fast is my ship btw? Does anyone else have a ship, or do I need to transport everyone with me?

Wray has a Starfighter, his own modified TIE Interceptor, and of course there's the Reaper and its own ships, but Zorto's ship is the only inconspicuous ship you guys have on hand at the moment.
The Belsiac's Shadow is equipped with fairly standard Hyperdrive and Ion Drives for a transport of its type. It's not especially fast, nor especially slow. Wray's Customized TIE Interceptor, for example, would be much faster... but it cannot carry any passengers, so hey. Zorto's ship is definitely the best option for a low profile operation.

I mean, you could, but for a single mission when you already have a perfect ship for the task? Wouldn't you rather keep your funds for improvements to your Imperial ships instead? ^_^
