Random Encounters IN SPAAAAAAAACE!

So, with the party jumping through Hyperspace like a Womp Rat caught in a bullseye, I needed a quick way to answer the question "who is hanging around the system you just arrived at", in addition to the fixed setting elements. Here are the three random tables I used.

The first table, answers the question of "who" these ships belong to. Note, that they are designed around the typical inhabitants of Airam Sector. If and when the party moves on to another sector, then they will probably require some adjustment.

Roll	Who
1--2	None
3	Roll twice
4	Bounty Hunters
5--6	Merchants
7	Smugglers
8	Gank Killers
9	Criminals
10--11	Ugor Scavengers
12--13	Squib Scavengers
14	Ex Imperials
15	Jedi
16	First Order
17	Nharwaak(Zygerrian type)
18	Habeen(Human type)
19	Eriadu
20	Yoberra

Next, the question of scale. It this a single small ship or a flotilla of cruisers?

Roll	How many
1-5	1 small
6-10	few small
11-14	1 med
15-17	few med
19-18	1 large
20	few large

Finally, where are they headed?

Roll	Heading
1-2	Planet
3-4	Hyperspace
5-6	Waiting
7	Hiding
8	Will hyperspace in soon

Once I've rolled these basic questions, I take a second to flesh out the encounter more. I ask myself things like:

1.  What are these ships doing here?
2. Where are they from originally?
3. What do they want?
4. How will they react to the PC's ship appearing?
