Operation: Clodhopper

A Secrets of Naboo Mini-Adventure with a Nefarious Twist

By Cory J. Herndon
Based on an adventure idea, creatures,
and characters designed by Steve Miller

Operation: Clodhopper is designed with semi-experienced players and Gamemasters in mind. While not as involved as a full-length adventure module (more complicated concepts like hyperspace travel, for example, have been simplified), it's assumed that players and GMs have moved on from the Invasion of Theed Adventure Game to the core rulebook.

Gamemasters should be sure to read the entire adventure before proceeding, and draw a few maps where appropriate (these maps can all be quite simple: a bar, a docking bay, a city street, and the standard starship combat template from the Star Wars Roleplaying Game core rulebook). Four 3rd-level heroes should be able to complete this adventure over the course of one or two long gaming sessions. Feel free to adjust the difficulty of encounters to suit your gaming group. GMs, read or paraphrase the descriptive shaded text for your group.

Shady Characters

Heroism, like beauty, is often in the eye of the beholder. The following adventure is based on the "Defoliation Agenda" story idea contained in the new Secrets of Naboo campaign pack. In this variation, set just after the events of Episode I, the heroes are in the employ of an ecoterrorist group looking to export dangerous fauna off of Naboo for political gain. Heroes without a greedy bone in their bodies might wish to look elsewhere; alternately, those with more noble aspirations might be along as infiltrators or undercover agents.
