You may want to rescan the area. he replies.
From what you can tell there are no other ships or even places to dock, no space stations.
Kol went back to the cockpit.
"Master Rex said scan again. Lets active ping this time as well as passive." He said to the copilot.
Then, thinking, he went down to Engineering and diverted Life Support power to the Sensor array.
He hesitated before throwing the lever, then shrugged.
Nah, I'm sure it'll be fine... He thought.
Phineas scans the area once more.
Use Computers Sensors - 18
Ardan leans forward a bit, arms crossed, and says, "Odd... perhaps there's a smuggler's base somewhere? Kol, if you were going to hide the ship somewhere down there, where would you put her down?"

Great roll! What is this supposed to do?
Regarding the Trained Skills rounding up, the example given on page 58 doesn't round up, so I didn't do that for my skills.
Named bonuses, if they have the same name, do not stack.
The clone is able to detect a ship, a colossal size ship on the opposite side of the planet/
The Banshee is hailed.
Phineas looks to Kol, "Shall we respond Sir?"
Great roll! What is this supposed to do?
Kol trips the intercom.
"Master Rex, we're being hailed. Sensors have a ship on the opposite side of the planet." He reported.
He gestured to Phineas to go ahead and respond as appropriate for an innocent cargo vessel.
Phineas nods and flips the comm.
Waylon stays seated and asks, "Do we have any idea how dangerous the other ship is?"
Great roll! What is this supposed to do?
Okay, that makes sense.
Kol trips the intercom.

The Jedi Master nods. I would defer to the Captain of the ship in these matters.
Waylon stays seated and asks, "Do we have any idea how dangerous the other ship is?"
This is the information from the wookipeida page for a basic one of these ships
In the Force he sees the Anzat and the Falleen leading Donavaan away to a ship, it seems like a Diamond Class Cruiser

The channel opens and on the other side of the channel comes a voice
Alien ship, state your name and business.
Chalkou quietly moves to one of the ship's gunnery stations.
Console make a Use Computer check
Dreams sits down in the lounge, and straps himself in.
He then comments to anyone remaining in the room.
I think this might get a little rough, so strap in.
Waylon nods and then will respond to the alien ship over the comms, "Hello, this is Waylon on board the Banshee. We are just here to visit some friends on the planet below. Is there something wrong?"

** spoiler omitted **
Not without the Force Secret Distant Poweer, and even then I think the range is limited.
The computer indicates to the clone that the ship is moving forward and is arming weapons and shields are raised.
A voice comes over the intercom, We are familiar with your ship, Banshee, and her pirate crew. Turn off your engines and prepare to be taken prisoners or else be blown in the vacuum of space
"Sir, they are getting ready to attack!" Phineas blurts out a split second after the comms make that occurrence quite clear!
Chalkou rolls his shoulders and flexes his hands. "Just give me the green light." he says, ready with the gunnery systems, but not yet attempting a target lock.
"Perhaps, we should find a way to scramble our codes in the future and change up our name. Well, I think some good piloting is in order." Waylon sits back and closes his eyes as he waits to see how this turns out.
"They're boosting towards us, shields up and weapons hot!" Kol called out.
He threw the switches rapidly and the actions stations alarm sounded.
"OK boys and girls, looks like its a fight! Everyone to weapon controls and engineering!" He called out.
He hit the switch and raised the shields. A blinking cursor attracted his eye and he started to cold sweat, seeing the yellow pie display showing the bow damage they were still carrying.
And this is where it gets bumpy
Dreams deadpans, while checking his restraint belt.
Ardan doesn't have any useful skills so he rushes in back to follow whatever directions are given to him as engineering tasks come up to grab various tools or batten down various hatches.
Prox and Artee had moseyed off to engineering as the others prepared for an altercation. She was quite capable as a co-pilot or a pilot for that matter but she highly doubted the others, not knowing her, would request she take such a role. Besides, she had been highered on as an engineer not a pilot.
Once in engineering she and Artee moved to the appropriate locations to best service the ship should things turn nasty, which did not seem to take all that long to occur. When Ardan appeared in engineering asking what he could do, she directed him to handle what she felt he was capable of.
Still she hoped, the pilot knew what they were doing and with her help could save the entire crew from either encarseration, destruction or worse.
The voice om the otherside makes another message It would be a shame to see Kol Dythrand blown up, and Ardan Kwinn blown to the vastness of space. What good will the Force be to Waylon Standmore when he cannot breathe or to Dreamchaster Plainstalker when there is no plain to stalk in space. the voice is full of contempt and mockery. Well fools, what is your answer?
Phineas turns to Kol, "Sir, should I plot a course to jump to hyperspace? I am not sure this is a the battle we should face at the moment. We can always come back, this ship cannot linger here forever, whoever it is".
Kol was stunned at the taunting transmission.
"How the #@$% do they know our NAMES?" He swore aloud, torn between rage and fear.
"What?" He said, Private Phineas' words finally penetrating. "Yeah. Yeah plot a hyperjump out of here. And someone sensor probe that ship; I want to know exactly what class we're facing." He rapped out quickly.
Phineas stays at the controls, a bit nervous to be performing these functions under fire for the first time!
Sensor - Probe Other Ship
Astrogation Check
Waylon begins meditating and seeking any familiar presences on the other ship.
Dreams braces himself for wild changes of course, while just waiting for things to happen.
Prox notices that whomever was rather unaware of her presence, which is good and in her mind how it should be. It also did not escape her attention that they did not mention Phineas, Chalkou nor Master Iediorum.
This would mean that whomever was confronting them would not be able to plan for what they are not aware of, thus giving them an edge. Granted a rather minor one, when one is talking ship to ship combat but sometimes revealing that hidden edge can be the winning play.
Still Prox went about her work, preparing the ship for combat and making the shields ready for quick regeneration. Taking a bit of time to quickly instruct Ardan on what to do if she tells him to enchance a particular shield.
Just in case it wasn't clwar this ia the ship yoibwere lookibg foe at rhe planet Dream heard in his viaion.
I am not sure of that influences your choices.
Dream rolled a Nat 20 when he was trying to locate the kidnappers.
He was searching while stoll on Cloud City.
