Yes. I have seen games, and run games, Where the players insist on being rebels or lawbreakers. The characters usually have a spree ...until the forces of the Imperium locate their hideout. The ones who escaped the Marine landings, got chased down by troopers in gravtanks. None of the player characters survived..To take their chances running the blockade.
You know you can blow the fin right off a Kininur when using said fin as a blast-stop for a pinnance take-off?
Ahh...the Prison Planet.....
(Actually escaped from the jail there...went to the planet surface...realized I hadn't thought it through enough, being stuck on an empty planet surface....snuck back INTO prison.)
Do you give the smartest one captured a chance to turn Emperor's evidence and rat out his comrades? Or is it the old shovel and the auto pistol to the back of the head.
