<strong>Heroes of the New Republic: Chapter 1 – Welcome to the Vandor Sector</strong><br/><br/>Having recently arrived on the farm world Demawand, the crew of the Lucky Magpie has been enlisted by their contact, Bron Konnar, to do a small job for him. The task is simple: Get into a spaceship and find some small, hidden packages. The problem: The ship is currently impounded by Imperial forces at a small base just north of Tava City.<br/><br/>Night has fallen on Demawand, but the countryside is faintly illuminated by the half-full moon just creeping up over the horizon. Given that only a few clouds drift through the night sky, chances that the moon will hide soon are slim.<br/><br/>Not quite as slim, but neither ample, is the cover around the Imperial base. Like much of Demawand, the area north of Tava is gently rolling plain, but there are bushes and a few small copses of trees from where to observe the base from as close as 100 meters away.<br/><br/>The base is square, drab, and well-lit. The whole building is about 6m high, and covers 100x100 meters, with a large central courtyard that holds a launch rack for TIE fighters and a landing field for a shuttle. At each corner a guard tower rises above the main building. The immediate surroundings of the base are well lit, as are the only two entrances, one large enough to admit landspeeders to the east, one smaller personnel entrance to the west, close to the two landing fields outside. Two army troopers in their gray uniforms guard each of the entrances, while a few more patrol the perimeter and the landing fields.<br/><br/>On one of the landing fields sits an unremarkable looking Ghtroc type 720 freighter. Anyone even a little familiar with small freighters knows the main entrance points into the ship will be a ramp just aft of the central, forward cockpit, and large cargo lifts port and starboard. Those entrances are all closed at the moment. The ship is dark, with no lights behind its cockpit windows or any other obvious sign of activity inside it.<br/><br/>(https://elliquiy.com/elluiki/images/e/e6/TavaBaseJPG.jpg)<br/><em>(1 square = 10x10m.
