I would like to ask for your assistance for a quest the GM has set up for us.

The Imperials are the supreme force in the galaxy, we are working for a weapon selling organization. We must get in a hiden bunker, which is on a planet guarded by 4 Star destroyers and the system has only two hyperspace routs, boath are guarded by Interceptor Cruisers, and there are many drones all around the system. Only one ship can enter and exit the system an imperial transpot ship who is traveling from Bastion to this planet (carrying Stormtroopers about 20.000)

Maby you could helpo, then we are prety stuck in this situation......

Ask a jedi youngling.

If Attack of the Clones is any indication, they seem to have all the answers.

Use the legendary Han Solo skill; fly under the Imperial transport ship.

It depends on the environment and what sort of things you have at your disposal. You might be able to jump into the system, but not as closely as you would normally, then microjumping around while in-system to avoid the Interdictors. Otherwise, your best bet may just be to hitch a ride with the inbound ship in some fashion.

With the resourses we could destroy the defenses, but it would take the imperials only 30min. to ask for backup, and that would be allready to much. About jumping, the interceptors are at the exit of the hyperdrive routs, sowe cant get in the system undetected as well.....

The thing is, If your up against thrawn, your screwed...he is the greatest military genious in all of star wars...If he wouldn't have died in Canon, then the galaxy WOULD belong to him.

But I agree with Light on this, go with hitching a ride, you don't need to think about leia's comment, "Aren't a little short to be a Storm Trooper."(I'm not sure If I said that right...) Disguise yourselves(this is what D20's for).

Also, If you have 150,000,000 credits to spare you could equip a ship with a Stygium Crystal Cloaker and NOT be detected.

Or, here's an idea. do some research?

Thrawn had to do some research to find Wayland, Spaarti Cloning, and the C'Boath clone guarding the Emperor's storehouse. Those things didn't just fall into his lap.

Do some research, get your cloaking device, or as the others have suggested, hitch a ride on an Imperial vessel.

How about jumping into the system in your own ship, but be prepared to convince someone in authority that you are:
a) the Emperor's Hand, since he has/had several, and no-one is supposed to know what they look like (Heir to the Empire?);
b) a passing entertainer (Han Solo at Stars End);
c) an ice cream wholesaler (Lando Calrissian and the Starcave of Thonboka) as I bet they've run out.
d) A Sith agent who has to use their hypercomm to call the Emperor (Mitch and Fen, Galaxy at War III: Schism of the Sith)
e) A big hollowed out wooden horse (Troy)

Actually, I just read that back. How do you convince someone that you are a big hollowed out wooden horse? Especially over a commscreen? tongue

f) Take some art; Thrawn likes his art. (Take Hart)

Roaming Artists looking to paint scenery of the beautiful Planet?

Of, if the Imperials know what you look like, you can do what the Solo's and Skywalkers did in Legacy : Betrayal. Actors who play (yourselves) in a new holodoc. about the Rebelion (Or what ever...)

well actually that is the place we are going, to the Emperor's storehouse, GM put a secret room there about wich eaven thrawn does't know enything.(probably) the only problem is that in our party there are two humans and one rodian, and imperials dont like non human race (i know non-human one blue guy controling the imperial forces) but that doesnt meen that non-humans are allowed at imperial base, especialy at bastion... o and the GM sed, that the repulic had tried some times to get in acting as some one else.... well they only got to the first interceptor....

Did you think of dressing like a Pair of Imperials escorting in a Rodian Prisoner?

Kill 'em all and let the Force sort 'em out.

Seriously, if this is D20 Star Wars, if any of you have Force Points (even non-Force Sensitives can use them), try disguising yourselves and attempt a diplomacy check with some lower ranking officers while using the Force points to add to your diplomacy check.

Other than that, pray.

How about the humans disguising themselves as Chiss? Blue skin, blue-black hair, red contacts for the eyes.

Thrawn was supposed to be the only survivor of his planet; that might interest him enough for you to be taken past the first interceptor.
Can't help with the rodian.

we were thinking about the usual stormtrooper disguise but the problem is that you know how a rodian loks in stormtrooper armor. And the usual he's a prisoner also wont work, then why on a wary important transport ship there should be a prisoner :d
