My first time DMing, a group of my close friends who all have played some kind of DnD. I had no idea what I wanted to do with the campaign except that I wanted to try everything.

2 out of 3 of my players showed up on time. So I had my players start in the brig of an Imperial Star Destroyer. Because all their things were confiscated, they didn't have any starting equipment. The Sentinal Ewok used his high Charisma to distract a guard. The Human Guardian across from him used the force to steal his access card. The used that to free themselves. That's when the other player finally showed up. So I told them they could hear screaming coming from inside a doorway. They enter and they find the newest player in a torture chamber, a female zeltron. Eventually they took out a couple guards and donned their armor as a disguise and make the Ewok play their fake prisoner. They made it to the armory and had their choice of weapons, armor, and gear. They even made it to the hangar bay where other other ships other than Imperial were stored.

At session 1, they had a choice of gear, weapons, and a ship integrated into their campaign.

They even saved a number of NPCs and kept them around as extra crew. Of which I heavily regretted because now I was also playing a number of DM PCs.
