Enlighten lets him use my UTF check as either his next attack roll, or as one of his defenses until the start of my next turn.

Not sure I'd have followed aboard the ship unless everybody else did. Kelaeon feels it is important, but at the same time his goal is the prison not the ships. Now he wouldn't wander off alone, so before I post did everybody (NPCs and PCs) board the ship? Or are there only a some inside?
Graff would not have boarded the shuttle, unless and until somebody specifically asked him to come aboard and look at something. The Naboo Cruiser, OTOH…

One thing I should note here: Graff's standard kit is a customized CW CG thinsuit, a light armor specifically described as wearable under other armor or clothing. It should come as no surprise that Graff is doing exactly that, including wearing his helmet inside the Biohazard suit's top dome.

That's what I figured. Though perhaps it isn't the best of situations to be in. 9 NPCs and Jarik against four droids with satan-mace sprayers. Yeah this is going to go poorly.
I'll hold, then. Might i suggest sneaking in? if there are only droids left, i CAN sneak past sensors, and i can bring someone, as well.

Let Jarik know via comm if you try that, or he is liable to shoot at you if you come phasing through a wall unannounced. He might even hit you, and that would be bad.
Going to use my reroll for the UTF stealth check: (1d20+17)[20]

Fel said I should post this here, so blame him for the Great Wall of Text.
NAMES FOR 4th PLATOON
Spoiler
BOOM PANTHERS
Sergeant: Antaki Kenzee, aka Scratch, a male Sullustan
Age: 33
BIO: At 33, he is the fifth oldest member of 4th platoon, Jarik being the fourth. 'A father to your troops' is the motto of the 4th platoon's sergeants, and out of all of them, Antaki takes it the most seriously. Stern but caring, he has his troopers' respect, and more importantly, their love. Jarik coordinates closely with the Panthers whenever they are deployed, as they are the most versatile of all of his squads. Called 'Scratch' because that is the epitaph he applies to all his kills.
Corporal Heb Roseland, aka Righty, a male Niemodian
Age: 27
BIO: There are two Niemodians in 4th platoon. Both are in the same squad, and both share blood. Heb is the older of the two and by far the more mature. His younger brother is a constant source of annoyance, and Heb is not above using his rank to order the younger Roseland around. Family is family though, and Heb will go out of his way to protect his sibling. Called 'Righty' so that calls of 'Roseland' would not provoke two responses.
Trooper: Myn Malo, aka Princess, a female Chagrin
Age: 23
BIO: The only Chagrin in 4th platoon, Myn's father is an officer in the Fel's army, and one of the primary reasons to her assignment to 4th Company. Her military upbringing has instilled in her a sense of duty, an intolerance for bad behaviour and strict adherence to protocol. These traits, in conjunction with the fact that she also shares a last name with Jarik's ex-fiance, resulted in the name 'Princess', which she loathes but bears stoically.
Trooper: Kader Tillman, aka Grifter, a male Human
Age: 24
BIO: A young con artist from Nar Shaddaa, Kader joined the military to get away from some very bad people and ended up with Jarik as a commanding officer. The two share similar attitudes, like a disregard for protocol, drinking on duty and carousing with the women of 4th platoon. Jarik has made it a special point to break him of these habits, or 'temper the weak link in the chain,' as he puts it. 'Grifter' is a rather self-explanatory name given his past.
Trooper: Conner Foreman, aka Babyface, a male Human
Age: 19
BIO: Conner is a rather handsome young man native to Corusant and favorite with the women of 4th platoon, particularly off-duty Banshees. His ineptness and general naivety with the fairer sex is a source of constant amusement to the men and a bane to the women. Young at only 19, he ties for the youngest of the platoon. His valiant but as of yet unsuccessful attempts at facial hair have earned him the name 'Babyface'.
Trooper: Leoni Solborne, aka Songbird, a female Twi'Lek
Age: 21
BIO: The Twi'Lek women of 4th platoon share several features, stunning beauty and gentler talents less suited to war being amongst them. A less happy and public one is their shared past as slaves. Leoni was a singer owned by a Hutt gangster that ran afoul of the Empire-in-Exile. Scratch and a team were sent in to 'handle' the problem, and Leoni was freed in the process. She joined the military on the condition she be allowed to serve with her savior. More than any other trooper under his command, she views Scratch as a father.
Trooper: Raru Rhysode, aka Lumpy, a male Twi'Lek
Age: 28
BIO: Raru, like many Twi'lek males, is not the most handsome man to grace the galaxy, but he is a damned good soldier. Shrewd, intelligent and ruthless he is a deadly opponent both on and off the battlefield. Equally at home in a fighting hole as he is in boardroom, there are few in the 4th platoon that are his equal. Jarik calls him 'Lumpy' because he is one ugly sonofabitch. He knows it of course, and wears it like armor.
Trooper: Thartan Elson, aka Gamble, a male Duros
Age: 31
BIO: Much like Kader, Thartan became involved with some very dangerous people, over a series of gambling debts in his case, and joined the military in order to escape them. More used to highroller suites and showgirls than he is to barracks and comrades in arms, Gamble is often reluctant to fight. Scratch has a standing order to 'light a fire under his blue ass' whenever he feels it necessary to motivate the Duros. The name 'Gamble' is two fold in its purpose. Thartan is a gambler, and there is also a small chance he may be the wrong bet.
Trooper: Vidown Roseland, aka Lefty, a male Neimodian
Age: 24
BIO: The younger of the Roseland brothers, and by far the more troublesome. If he doesn't have his hands into something he shouldn't, it's probably because you can see him. If it weren't for his ability to stay un-seen, he would probably have a disciplinary list a kilometer long. Preternaturally good at stealth, he has found himself in the enviable position of the Panthers' scout. The job keeps him out of trouble, and keeps Jarik, Scratch and his brother from going mad. He is 'Lefty' because his brother is 'Righty'.
RED ACKLAYS
Sergeant Arn Kjellen aka 'Nomad' -MALE ZABRAK
Age: 30
BIO: A Zabrak with a fierce racial pride holds the position of the Acklays' sergeant. A veteran soldier of the Sith-Imperial War, Arn has been soldiering for almost as long as Jarik himself, and much like Jarik, it shows. Half his face is a livid burn scar and several of his horns are chipped and broken. He refuses to speak about how he was burned and not even Jarik knows the full story. Gruff as only a sergeant can be, he is nonetheless respected, if not loved, by the troopers who serve under him. He is called 'Nomad' because of his tribal heritage as a nomadic people on Iridonia.
Coporal Ben Nurzev aka 'Imp -MALE SULLUSTAN
Age: 27
BIO: Ben Nurzev is a good natured Sullustan who, like most of his people, is fond of a good joke and even fonder of a good practical joke. It often sets him at odds with his more serious minded sergeant, but his mischevious nature and proclivity for practical jokes has expressed itself in a natural expertise for the art of sabotage. Jarik has seen this and pounced on the oppertunity to diseminate the sapping abilities across the platoon. If booby trap needs finding, making or unmaking, the Acklays call the 'Imp.'
Trooper Balvar aka 'Lurk' -MALE RODIAN
Age: 25
BIO: Balvar is a hunter, born and bred to find a target, track it to its home, and then kill it. The ancient skills he learned on Rodia have translated well into the modern battlefield, and there are few people more deadly than Balvar. While he is a crack shot with is rifle, where he really shines are in the areas of stealth and close combat. In the field, regardless of what kind of field it is, the only time you see Balvar is when Balvar wants to be seen. He is also the best knife fighter in the platoon, if not the whole company. He is so good, he will only train with two or more opponents at once, preferably Jarik and Jax. His nickname is self-explanatory.
Trooper Hnjar Darelle aka 'Brains' -MALE DUROS
Age: 29
BIO: Hnjar Darelle can be summed up in a single word: smart. He is so smart, that he makes everyone around him look like a Gamorean with brain damage. If it exists, and has been observed, Hnjar knows about it, in detail. He has a voracious appetite for information, and if he had chosen a profession in business, he would be making millions. As it is, he chose war as his business, and he is a stellar businessman. He has been approached by Imperial Intelligence on numerous occasions, but has always refused, prefering a 'hands on' approach. 'Brains' is an obvious choice of name.
Trooper Jac Tri 'Wheezer' -MALE KEL DOR
Age: 24
BIO: Jac hails from a planet with a unique atmospheric component, and as a result, cannot leave that atmosphere without a highly specialized set of equipment; a rebreather and a set of goggles. Any activity which might cause damage to this equipment is strongly unadvised, so it is a wonder that he chose 'soldier' as a profession. For him, every fight, even a small one, is exponentially more dangerous because the slightest damage to his appratus could mean death. As a result, he is cautious, but not to the point of inaction. His rebreather wheezes constantly, hence the name.
Trooper Foli'RAELA'ranorgul 'Queeny' -FEMALE CHISS
Age: 30
BIO: There are two Chiss in the fourth platoon, and both are female. Jarik was initially distrustful of them for reasons he would not explain. While much of the distrust has evaporated, he is still uncomfortable around them. Raela has shrugged this off, as is her way. She comes from a proud family tradtion of military service, and is the most recent in a long line of soldiers and officers. She is proud, imperious and possess a regal beauty. She also watches over the other women of the squad like a hawk, and is not shy with threats.
Trooper Sol'mar 'Ghost' -MALE BOTHAN
Age: 32
BIO: Sol'mar was freed from a Sith death camp several years ago, and still bears slight signs of the intense malnutrition he suffered there. It has also left some less visible marks. He hoards his food and eats little bits of it at a time. He is terrified of electrostaves. He has a venomous hate for all things Sith. He has also become quite adept at disappearing at the drop of a hat. Jarik has put the skill to good use on a number of occasions, and Sol'mar earned the moniker 'Ghost'. He and Whisper get along very well, and there is much speculation in the unit as to why this is.
Trooper Tess Ren 'Cipher'-FEMALE HUMAN
Age: 19
BIO: Tess is a farm girl from an agricultural world. No 'fancy-schoolin', no 'womanly talents', she is the quintessential tomboy, much to the mixed delight and dismay of the men of 4th platoon. She is barely 19, and would rather smoke, curse and drink cheap swill with the roughest men in the dirtiest cantinas than keep her hair in order or apply makeup. On the one hand, the men love it because she is one of the guys. On the other, they hate it because she is one of the guys. Raela has made it her mission in life to 'civilize' the young woman and acts very much like a displeased mother. Jarik calls her Cipher because she puzzles everyone she meets.
Trooper Keri Certo aka 'Whisper' -FEMALE TWILEK
Age: 22
BIO: Like the other Twi'lek women in 4th platoon, Keri was originially a slave before she joined the military. She doesn't speak much, and flat out refuses to talk about her life before she was a stormtrooper. Rumors abound of course, most of them dark, and a few sorid ones that are only spoken of very quietly. She keeps a knife on her person at all times and can often be seen stroking it when being spoken to. Her quiet nature has led to her becoming very good at staying hidden, and as a result she and Ghost are often sent scouting together. They are closer to each other than any of other member of the platoon. Queeny is even more protective of her than of Cipher.
THE BANSHEES
Sergeant Anna Hammery aka 'Hammer' -FEMALE HUMAN
Age: 26
BIO:If Jarik Corrino were a woman, he would be Anna Hammery, a fact not lost on the rest of the platoon. Though she is a decade younger than her lieutenant, the leader of the Banshees is a veteran of the Sith-Imperial war and brings her vast experience as a soldier and tactician to the 4th platoon. Possessing a collection of scars to rival Jarik's and a kill count in the triple digits, there is no tougher, meaner or more dangerous woman in 4th platoon than the 'Hammer'. Despite these facets of her personality, Anna is revered by the members of her squad, both the men and the women. She is also one of the few people capable of matching Jarik's drinking stride for stride.
Corporal Taki Cia aka 'Showstopper' -FEMALE TWILEK
Age: 27
BIO: Born free on the world Ryloth, Taki was kidnapped as a young girl and sold into slavery to an offworld troupe of entertainers. She was trained to be a dancer and quickly became the main attraction of the troupe, though she continued to loath her owners. She eventually managed to seduce a wealthy patron into buying her contract, and then promptly murdered him. Beautiful and graceful, she has a hard edge and vindictiveness in her that she keeps well hidden. Only she knows the reason why she joined the military, and she is not forthcoming about it.
Trooper Jen Sahr aka 'Demon' -FEMALE ZABRAK
Age: 25
BIO: A native of Corusant's lower levels, Jen Sahr was brought up in one of the numerous gangs, and she still proudly sports her gang tattoos whenever possible. She is not a stanger to violence, and in fact earned her name long before she was a member of the military for her skills with a blade. As an enforcer for her gang, she was often called on to fight of rivals or intimidate clients and she has brought her unique suite of skills to the 4th platoon. A mild sadist, she finds enjoyment in combat moreso than any member of the Banshees.
Trooper Cen Chortav aka 'Squint' -MALE SULLUSTAN
Age: 23
BIO: One of three men in the Banshees, Cen is a good natured member of his species afflicted by a weak immune system. He is nearly always having an allergic reaction to something or someone, his eyes are always weepy and half swollen shut, a constant sniffing can be heard whenever he is in the room. Despite this, he has become a model soldier, and a reliable one at that. Always willing to do something for the unit, there is no task too great or too small him for to take. He has earned the name Squint because of his perpetually half closed eyes.
Trooper Irun Bardo aka 'Fixer' -MALE DUROS
Age: 28
BIO: Irun Bardo is a being of contradiction. Exceptionally brilliant and highly adept with mechanical devices, he nevertheless always manages to break whatever it is he is working on, be it a blaster or shuttle. If Irun has pried it open and played with it, there is a strong chance that no amount of repairs can get it fix it again. This knack for destruction, intentional or no, has caught the eye of Jarik. While he is not allowed to handle explosives for fear of the disastorus results, Irun is often called upon to wreak mechanical havoc with enemy material.
Trooper Leishirhyi aka 'Momma Bear' -FEMALE WOOKIE
Age: 256
BIO: Leishirhyi is a cheerful, doting mother of a wookiee who has had more children in her two and a half century existence than the platoon has members, and she has extended this motherly attitude toward the entirety of 4th platoon. She refuses to refer to anyone by their appropriate rank, merely laughing good naturedly when called out on it. She has refered to Jarik as 'son' on numerous occasions. All this being said, she will not hesitate for a second to tear any being limb from limb if she feels her 'pups' are threatened, and has thus been given the name Momma Bear.
Trooper Amran'KORA'katago aka 'Smash' -FEMALE CHISS
Age: 20
BIO: The only other Chiss member of the platoon, Kora a fiery, fiercely independent young woman who has not fully adapted to the military way of life. She occasionally questions orders, but one glare from Hammer or a growl from Momma is usually enough to set her on the right path. Despite her lack of military decorum, she is still an excellent frontline soldier, and wickedly good with a grenade launcher. Jarik is uncomfortable around both of his Chiss subordinates, but despite this, Kora has made several passes at him, mainly because she knows it bothers him.
Trooper Nel Devv aka 'Fatty' -MALE SULLUSTAN
Age: 31
BIO: Nel is very large, for a Sullustan, coming in at 2.5 meters. Boisterous and barrel-chested, he has found a niche in the Banshees as a heavy weapons specialist. A tank-buster of some repute, he has 24 armored kills to his name, a feat unequaled in the 4th platoon. He drinks more heavily than Jarik on a bad day, but still only manages to achieve a mild buzz, and it is common game for off-duty platoon members to try and out-drink him, a game which he always wins. He is anything but fat, but loaded down with rockets and ammunition makes him look rather obese and the name 'Fatty' stuck.
Trooper Lai Thy aka 'Grim' -FEMALE KEL DOR (POSSIBLE KIA, DEFINITE WIA)
Age: 26
BIO: Lai is one of the Banshees' marksmen and probably the best in the platoon. She holds a friendly rivalry Elifelle and Irephir, the chief marksmen of the Mynocks, and though that is about as far as any friendship extends. Very introverted, she does not speak a sentence when a single word will do, and never a word when a gesture or a grunt will suffice. Callous, even for a sniper, she can never be accused of feeling sorry for her enemies, though most of them don't live long after she finds them in her sights. She reminds Jarik of his old squadmate Marian, whom he called Broody. He calls Lai 'Grim' to reflect this.
DEAD MYNOCKS
Sergeant Ryaralwylgar aka 'Shaggy' -MALE WOOKIEE
Age: 329
BIO: Ryaralwylgar is a middle-aged wookiee with a notoriously short temper and a dislike for any weapon that doesn't have at least one sharp edge. The calmest of a wookiee family famed for its berserkers, Ryaralwylgar saw the mercenary life as the most natural career choice available to him and joined as soon as he was able, for the next several centuries, he bounced from outfit to outfit, picking up skills and scars along the way. The most combat experienced member of the entire 4th company, the only thing holding him back is his poor temper and proclivity to charge enemy lines with a rifleless bayonet.
Corporal Akikle aka 'Skinner' -FEMALE RODIAN
Age: 26
BIO: Like Balvar, Akikle is a born hunter and she joined the military to be a part of the greatest hunt in the galaxy: war. She lives for combat and she is amongst the most versatile members of the platoon when it comes to fighting. Her greatest strength is also her greatest weakness. Off the battlefield, she is sorely under-equipped for social situations, always obsessing over the next engagement and alienating other members of the platoon with graphic stories of her kills. She has the respect and admiration of her sqaudmates, but not their love.
Trooper Elifelle Amraik aka 'Longshot' -FEMALE TWILEK
Age: 21
BIO: Like Taki, Elifelle was a victim of kidnapping at a young age. Unlike Taki, her captors never got the chance to sell her. Her father was a hunter and a guide to offworld sport hunters. As an only child, she was taught to hunt in order to put food on the table and as a pastime. After a month, she escaped her kidnappers with a rifle and one bullet for each man. She climbed a hill and waited for her witless captors to wander into scope. Once she'd hunted men, no other quarry would do and so she joined the military. She holds a friendly rivalry with Grim and Irephir, though none of them will let on what the contest is or who is winning at any given time.
Trooper Wem Mordav aka 'Granny' -FEMALE SULLUSTAN
Age: 18
BIO: Wem is the baby of 4th platoon and a complete novice of a soldier, though not for lack of trying. Coming from a privileged Core-world family, she is the first member of her family in generations to join the military. She was privately educated by very well paid tutors, and her knowledge of war is currently restricted to books and vids. As a result, she has many preconvieved notions of how a platoon should function, both on and off the field. She is achingly formal with every member of the platoon, using their full name and rank when addressing them. She is also a 'stick-in-the-mud' and does not visit the cantinas with her squadmates, hence her nickname.
Trooper Cey'che aka 'Anarchy'-FEMALE BOTHAN
Age: 26
BIO: 4th platoons other Bothan, Cey'che lives up to the legendary cunning and stealth that have made her people so famous. Short with feline-esque features, she can seemingly evaporate into the air when she sees fit to do so, to the annoyance of her enemies and continued joy of her allies. Jarik has used her knack for stealth and infiltration as an excuse to give her a crash course in sabotage, and she is quickly blossoming into an expert in the craft, much to Jarik's delight. She is friendly with Ghost, the other Bothan.
Trooper Irephir Bellelleva aka 'Prodigy'-FEMALE DUROS
Age: 24
BIO: It is no secret that all Duros have a knack for mathematics and other highly technical fields. Normally this expresses itself in the race's well known ability as hyperspace navigators, but for Irephir, this natural talent has manifested itself in killing people at very long range. Using her brilliant mathematical mind, she can effortlessly plot the course of a bullet or a bolt and use that information to put square in the cerebelum of her target. She has dropped targets as far as 3.5 kilometers, and currently holds the record for longest distance infantry kill using a gauss weapon.
Trooper Kreeg Temon aka 'Grunt' -MALE DUROS
Age: 30
BIO: Kreeg has been a soldier for over a decade, and yet has never advanced beyond the rank of Trooper. This not due to any fault on his part, but mainly an unwillingness to accept a promotion. Far from being upset with his apparent stagnation, he appears to have found his calling in life in the day to day grunt work of being a ground based soldier. He has held just about every position a trooper can hold, from heavy weapons specialist to cook, Kreeg has done it all. He had his nickname long before Jarik took control of 4th platoon.
Trooper Ishmerdarvar 'Trauma' -FEMALE WOOKIE
Age: 46
BIO: Ishmerdarvar is a younger, less volatile version of her sergeant, though that is small comfort to the people on the business end of her paws. A recent migrant of Kashyyyk, and still young by wookiee standards, Ishmerdarvar has chosen to spend her wilder years warring against the Sith. With her impressive bulk she has fufilled the heavy weapons role in her squad admirably. However, like her sergeant where she really shines is in close combat. Jarik is fond of sending the Mynocks to break enemy lines, because if you want an enemy broken, you send in Trauma.
Trooper Mai Kle 'Maestro' - FEMALE KEL DOR
Age: 25
BIO: Mai Kle was an aspiring musician before a Sith attack left her with a severely damaged arm. The doctors were forced to amputate, but a cybernetic limb was installed in order to replace the lost limb. Far from being pleased at having two functioning arms, she loathes her cybernetic prostesis. The neural connection between the arm and her brain is seamless, and she experiences increased manual dexterity as a result. This has had the effect of her becoming a master of the double viol, her instrument of choice prior to the attack. Her loathing comes from the fact that she did not have to practice to become an expert, she simply is one now.
I'll move over and use the wall of text for cover.
