The Besh Team

[shootingwomprats]

The Besh Team
“During the height of the Clone Wars, a squad of Republic specialists was sent to execute a high-risk raid on a Separatist vault world. But when the mission’s existence was disavowed and their Jedi commander killed in an ambush, the team was blamed for the disaster.”

Court-martialed and condemned by the Republic military tribunal for a mission they didn’t authorize—and possibly didn’t even survive—they escaped custody before their execution.

Now hunted by both Imperial and underworld forces, they survive as fugitives. But wherever innocent people suffer, and local authorities turn a blind eye, the Besh Team might be found—bringing justice, firepower, and just enough chaos to topple the corrupt."

Rho Vorn
Type: Corellian Insurgent Commander
Age: 49 Height: 1.86 m Weight: 84 kg
Appearance: Grizzled but sharp-eyed, Vorn wears a well-kept officer's field coat over light battle armor. His silver hair and confident smile often disarm as much as his blaster.

TECHNICAL 2D+1
Demolitions 6D, first aid 7D+1, security 6D+2

Story Factors:
Old Rebellion Warhorse: Vorn carries deep scars—physical and emotional—from early campaigns. Many trust his leadership implicitly, others fear the brutal efficiency of his tactics.
Master of Misdirection: Known for plans within plans, Vorn is a gifted manipulator on and off the battlefield.
Wanted by the Empire: An Imperial court martial convicted him of treason in absentia—bounty hunters and ISB agents are always close behind.

Move: 10
Force Points: 2
Character Points: 17

Equipment: BlasTech A295 carbine (scope), heavy blaster pistol, encrypted datapad (3-day tactical planning AI), signal-slicing uplink module, 2 smoke grenades, officer’s field armor (+1D physical, +1 energy), encrypted comlink, holo-map planner, basic medkit

Background: Once a decorated strategist in the Corellian Security Forces, Vorn defected after refusing to enforce the Empire’s brutal anti-insurgency measures. He joined the Rebellion early, forming elite teams to disrupt Imperial operations from the shadows. Vorn’s methods are ruthless but effective, his loyalty unquestioned, and his love of “a good plan” legendary.

Personality: Calm under pressure, wryly humorous, always ten steps ahead. He’s the kind of man who smiles when he’s outnumbered and says, “Now we’ve got them right where we want them.”

Objectives: Strike at Imperial logistics and command. Keep his team alive. Finish every plan with style.

A Quote: "I love it when a plan explodes in their faces."

Val Danelo
Type: Hapan Grifter and Impersonator
Age: 33  Height: 1.85 m  Weight: 80 kg

TECHNICAL 2D

Story Factors:
Hapan Nobility: Val was born on a minor Hapan world and raised among privilege and politics. He can navigate upper-class society across the Core and Mid Rim.
Master of Disguise: Val is a flawless impersonator and always has at least one backup identity.
"I Can Get That": If someone wants it, Val knows someone who can provide it—or a way to pretend he already owns it.

Move: 10
Force Points: 2
Character Points: 18

Equipment: Blaster pistol, high-end comlink (multi-band encrypted), lock override tool, hidden identity case (contains credentials, credits, forgery kit), “borrowed” noble regalia, multiple wardrobe kits (Core, Outer Rim, military, worker), custom luxury datacard (entertainment + slicer programs)

Background: Val Danelo was once a minor diplomatic attaché for the Hapes Consortium—until he was caught selling forged access passes and masquerading as his own superior. He escaped conviction with charm and audacity, disappeared from the Core, and began a new life as a confidence man and infiltrator. The Krayt Team recruited him after he scammed an Imperial Moff at a casino on Tepasi, stole his yacht, and left him holding the bill.

Personality: Smooth, witty, and fearless, Val thrives under pressure and loves the thrill of a con. He shifts personas like clothing and is the first to talk a team past a checkpoint or into a ballroom. He prefers manipulation to violence but is a decent shot when it counts.

Objectives:
Live luxuriously—on someone else's credit line.
Become a legend in the intelligence underworld.
Pull off a con so big the HoloNet debates whether it was real.

A Quote: "Trust me, I'm an admiral... this week."

Honor-Bound: Holds fast to promises, no matter the risk.
Silent Loyalty: Has taken a life debt oath to Rho Vorn.

Background: Krungarr was liberated from an Imperial labor site by Rho Vorn during the Clone Wars. Since then, he's followed Vorn not out of subservience but loyalty. A master of field improvisation, Krungarr builds, fixes, and smashes everything the team needs.

Personality: Gruff, loyal, and always ready to "solve a problem with torque." Distrustful of outsiders, especially anyone with authority. Has a secret fondness for small animals and fixing toys for kids.

Objectives: Protect his team, punish slavers, and never — ever — get willingly on a starship.

A Quote: “Wraaaaargh! (You even touch that panel and I’ll rip your ears off.)”

Zik “Murd” Cassivar
Type: Ace Pilot & Unstable Genius
Species: Duros
Age: 34 Height: 1.9 m Weight: 73 kg
Appearance: A wiry Duros with vivid red eyes and a manic smile. His patched-up flight jacket is adorned with flight wings, imaginary medals, and "notes from his ship."

Story Factors:
Unpredictable Behavior: Conversations with inanimate objects, fake comm chatter, and spontaneous sound effects are normal.
Instinctive Flier: Feels uncomfortable on solid ground, more at home behind a yoke.
Trophy Jacket: His old pilot jacket is more than clothing—it’s “advice from the ship.”
Flight Bans: Officially banned from two planetary starports for “experimental maneuvering.”

Move: 10
Force Points: 2
Character Points: 16

Equipment: Goggles, hold-out blaster (3D), vibroknife, modified pilot’s jacket, datapad with eccentric flight logs, inflatable co-pilot ("Greebu"), custom-painted speeder bike (“Razzle”), commlink

Background: A top-tier pilot in the Republic's auxiliary fighter corps until psychological reports and a “minor skirmish involving an upside-down corvette” led to his dismissal. Zik joined the Krayt Team because no one else let him fly everything—and they needed someone crazy enough to land on a Star Destroyer’s tower.

Personality: Unstable but brilliant. Zik thinks sideways, speaks in riddles, and treats danger like a punchline. He’s fiercely loyal, emotionally erratic, and weirdly comforting in a cockpit firestorm.

Objectives:
Fly everything possible—even the impossible
Keep his crew alive by any means
Prove that being “insane” is just creative navigation

A Quote: "Trust me—this is exactly how I crashed the last ship and walked away. Mostly."
