Does the smoke go all the way down, or would it be possible to fly under it from an edge?

I'll lock in that pilot skill check for landing (although Gialle can give a bonus if that's what she does "during landing") but I would like to clarify how close to the settlement the party is trying to land.

That last part is indicating that Ghost would take over the controls for the final decent if needed and can use Sense Surrounding to "see through the smoke" to make the landing.

Depending on how the fires have gone they could have cleared out a good bit of Jungle and while it may not be quick hike it shouldn't be too difficult either.  I do need to brush up on my "overland travel" section.

Is there a skiff or some other basic ground transport loaded onboard this ship?  If we're on a scouting mission it's something I'd have tried to get unless all our exploring was going to be done on foot.

I'd say no further than 5 kilometers (otherwise we still hike a good chunk) and no closer than 1 kilometer (because then we run the risk of have people stumble across our ship and do bad things to it.

I hadn't seen this when I did my last reply.  I couldn't/didn't find anything on overland travel for SWSE but in the SRD for 3.5 I think it would give a "normal/6 square speed" overland walking speed of 3 miles/hour.  Of course a jungle is going to make that harder.  Anyway I'm not sure what the numbers would be for SWSE (Talinn and/or Ghost would know) but I'm thinking we land a half hour to an hour away by foot.  Maybe not too far away but hopefully not too close.

Do we have any idea what the "sensor" range of YV tech may be so we can avoid tripping that if at all possible?

Thanks for the map Fak but without anything else to go on, and admittedly that might not be so easy to see below some cloud of apparently ionized smoke, it's still basically asking us "how close to the center do you want to be?

Have we got the old Chiss records of the terrain near the settlement to know how big it might be and if there may be other points of interest beneath the cloud?
