Damsel in Distress

A Free Mini-Adventure in the Rebellion Era

By Steve Kenson

It is a time of desperate struggle. The Rebel Alliance, working from their secret bases, fights against the stranglehold of the Galactic Empire. Rebel spies gather information about the Empire's strengths and weaknesses, seeking a vulnerability the Alliance can exploit. A ship carrying information vital to the Rebellion is trapped, as the forces of the Empire close in for the kill. Their only hope lies in an Alliance rescue party reaching them in time...

Damsel in Distress is an adventure for the Star Wars Roleplaying Game designed for four to six 1st-level characters in the Rebellion era, although it works perfectly well for other eras with some slight modifications. The group is assigned to a rescue mission to help save a damaged Rebel Alliance ship, the Stellar Damsel, and recover the information the ship was carrying.
