Your party is primarilly armed with directed energy weapons. To keep them charged you have a GNK Power Droid. This robot is basically a mobile generator which can wander around on a pair of stubby legs that can recharge your power cells as needed, as well as be on hand whenever else you might need a lot of power. Periodically it will say "GONK".
But what if the bad guys shoot it? Won't it blow up like a small nuke and kill us all?
no
gonk droids are actually pretty durable and commonly used on the battlefield to power weapons
also, fusion (which gonks are powered by) does not result in an explosion; that's fission. if something goes wrong with a fusion reaction, the reaction just stops
All gonks have plot armor.
Gonk. Gonk. Gonk ko kyenga see!
Which game are you talking about? Because you certainly aren't talking about any of mine.
I'm playing an old school D20 Star Wars campaign right now where the party hook was we're alien refugees fleeing to the Outer Rim from the core worlds. The captain dumped us all off on Tatooine instead of destination we paid for and we had to go from random starship passengers to hired guns in pretty short order.
Anyway, we ganked an old Arrow 23 speeder truck along the way after a bunch of missions and managed to salvage a Gonk from a wrecked spaceship along with a couple loader droids. That little fusion bastard keeps everything we have charged and it's fricking amazing not having to head into some hellhole like Mos Espa and pay recharge fees.
Also, frick Jawas and their sneaky little Salvage Kinder hands. I mean frick Sandpeople and frick Jabba and his thugs but ESPECIALLY FRICK JAWAS!
your DM's gonna set up an encounter where some j*Wa filth steals your gonk
that DM is asking for murder hobos
They unironically stole a V-35 Courier from us like 50 feet away while we were fighting Sandpeople. Got it back missing parts by asking them to sell it to us then stunning the driver with our Twilek scoundrel and scramming before we got shot too much.
Then there was the time we had 2 of Jabba's cargo skiffs stashed in the canyonlands out by Anchorhead with droids watching and they stole the camo netting off them and ganked so many parts off the skiffs it was like there was only hulls left. Lured them out again and stunned the clan leader and his boys old west style using the Blaster Slinger feat to get our camo netting back (2000 creds apiece) while retreating under repeating blaster fire.
One of my favorite jawa encounters was the time our Devaronian soldier was scouting ahead on his swoop and found a sandcrawler on fire with a bunch of Sandpeople attacking the Jawas. He gave them all a good old set of double aces and laughed before heading back to the A-Team Arrow Van.
Sounds like a lot of fun. I'm currently playing a droid (not the gonk; this is a different campaign, pic related).
That sounds great anon im glad you having fun!
No one tell him about blaster gas.

Kinky
Reminder you can hook a GONK to an E-WEB and have your ammo box walk around with you while you act like Jessie Ventura in Predator.
>Captcha
>DR0NK
Only a little bit.
Sounds like a pitch for a Star Wars/Engine Hearts hybrid setting game (if the droid is a PC). Do want; keep up the good work.
That's a good idea actually.
Aren't pure laser weapons actually pretty uncommon in Star Wars? Most use tibanna gas as a particle acceleration medium, generating plasma.
I played a gonk droid in a SW game. It was fun.
Lego Starwars is one of the most soulful games ever for making this dream come true
>Periodically it will say "GONK"
I will now protect your droid with my life
What makes the gonk sound? Is it a malfunction? A warning sound? Communication with other droids?
>What makes the gonk sound?
The gonk droid.
Probably just a presence noise. 'Watch out, little fusion reactor coming through.'
One of my droid players put a copy of himself in one of these and it rapidly degraded inside a simple gonk brain before turning back into a gonk droid. They let it watch a sunrise as it’s last sentient memory
GONK
I shoot the GM who is subjecting us to mousecuck slop.
This. I hate Star Wars, and rpgs set in the Star Wars universe. I especially hate posting in threads about Star Wars.
*CRUNCH CLOMP CHRASH CLOMP CRUNCH *GONK*
Gonna tinker with it to make it a bomb.
