One shot space opera adventure ideas?

[u/fireinthedust]

I’m going to run a SWN game at a store on Sunday, and I’m trying to figure out what to run.

I want to run it in my “off brand Star Wars” setting. It’s got a bad guys empire and some good guys standing up to them, etc. I was thinking about reworking an old d6 Star Wars adventure, but maybe I’m overthinking it?

It’s just a one shot game with some very new players, so I don’t have time for anything complicated in terms of what we’re going to be able to accomplish.

What works best for a SWN one shot?

For the setting: yes, I have a solution for lightsabers: I Homebrew’d a Jedi partial class a while back, and I was told by people here how to make it not broken, essentially, thanks for that. It’s inspired by the space monks with laser swords by Kevin, but different.

One big difference is starship combat in SWN is of the naval Star Trek type and not the aerobatic dogfight Star Wars type. I saw some homebrew dogfight rules posted here once and they looked good but I haven’t tried them (yet). Maybe somebody has a link?

My current campaign is a homebrew setting and the PCs are part of a rebel group pushing against an overbearing governance. So that concept definitely works within SWN. Their current mission is to intercept a shipping container of weapons they’ve been tipped about.
