So I have thought up a good idea for my gaming group. I was going to see if they would be will to play a game as a group of Sector Rangers searching for a murder. I thought that it would be a good idea for a game and I think that the players would be fine playing as imperials with morals. Any thoughts?

I thought sector rangers were not aligned with the Empire.
BUT that said, it sounds like a good game idea. Lots of use for non combat skills (investigation, computers, search and the like), maybe you could even push it more to a CSI style of doing things.

Why would they not be aligned with the Empire? During the Empire years, they were even called Imperial Sector Rangers.

I did think it would be different from other missions so I thought it could be a little lighter natured game instead of one based on combat.

I always thought sector rangers wre independent units.

Thank you

After some reading.
Play a sector ranger, some deputy, and the droid type listed.

That droid is weird, Blaster and firearms skilled but no weapon or place to mount one.

The patrol boats look interesting.

Was your plan for a game a patrol boat working for the sector rangers and the chars crew on the ship?

If you're not looking for them to be aligned with the Empire, you could have an Antarian Ranger, rather than just a Sector Ranger. The Antarian Rangers worked hand in hand with the Jedi quite a lot, so they would NOT be aligned with the Empire. In fact, they'd be hiding FROM the Empire.

Just a thought.

It looks like a souped up 'seeker' that Luke trained with on the falcon in a new hope..
