OOC: Comrade Jedi V

[Abby]

This is the era of Luke Skywalker's legacy; the Jedi Master has unified the order into a cohesive group of powerful Jedi Knights. But as the new era begins, planetary interests threaten to disrupt this time of relative peace, and Luke is plagued with visions of an approaching darkness. Evil is rising again—out of the best intentions—and it looks as if the legacy of the Skywalkers may come full circle. Honor and duty will collide with friendship and blood ties as the Skywalker and Solo clans find themselves on opposing sides of an explosive conflict with potentially devastating repercussions for both families, for the Jedi order and for the entire galaxy.

When a mission to uncover an illegal missile factory on the planet Adumar ends in a violent ambush—from which Jedi Knights Jacen Solo, Jaing Redgrave and Jaing's protégé and cousin, Ben Skywalker, narrowly escape with their lives—it's the most alarming evidence yet that sparks of political unrest are threatening to ignite into total rebellion. The governments of numerous worlds are chafing under the strict regulations of the Galactic Alliance, and diplomatic efforts to enforce compliance are failing. Fearing the worst, the Alliance readies a preemptive display of military might in a bid to bring the rogue worlds to heel before an uprising erupts. The designated target of this exercise: planet Corellia—renowned for the brash independence and renegade spirit that have made its favorite son, Han Solo, a legend.

Something of a rogue himself, Jaing is nevertheless duty bound as a Jedi to stand with his father, Jedi Master Calvin Redgrave, on the side of the Galactic Alliance. But when the wary Corellians launch a counterstrike, the Alliance's show of force—and a secret mission to disable Corellia's crucial Centerpoint Station—give way to an armed skirmish. Once the smoke clears, the battle lines are drawn. Now the specter of full scale war looms between a growing cadre of defiant planets and the Galactic Alliance that some fear is becoming a new Empire. And even as both sides struggle to find a diplomatic solution mysterious acts of treachery and sabotage threaten peace efforts at every turn.

Determined to root out those behind the mayhem, Jaing follows a trail of cryptic clues to a dark rendezvous with the most shocking of revelations—while the Jedi Council grapple with something even more troubling: dream visions of a shadowy figure whose Force power and ruthlessness remind them of Darth Vader—a lethal enemy who strikes like a dark spirit on a mission of doom. An agent of evil who, if the Council's visions come to pass, will bring untold pain to the Jedi Masters—and to the entire galaxy.

[Abby]

Basically, all we need to join up to get it moving more freely would be Alyva, RedEagle, and Tallboy Dave. It should start where we left off: Centerpoint Station and the Battle over Corellia. Also, as a subplot, we can have Crystal's characters, Electra and Michael, fool around with Tian and the dog.

Just a run-down on what should happen:
Calvin convinces the droid to destroy itself without Shalin's help. Shalin instead guides Ben to a safe way out through the air ducts. Meanwhile, our Jedi strike teams on the surface should just be wrapping up. Team Tauntan should be heading back now. In a moment, security should tighten for Rylee's team, and they'll be forced to leave. Rylee should stay behind and act as an agent inside Sal-Solo's mansion. Everyone flies off and Ben, Calvin, and Jaing arrive inside the GA Star Destroyer and blast off to Coruscant. After that, we'll discuss more.

[Junk Angel]

Is there a possibility for some extra cannon or noncannon character?

[Abby]

Sure! Most of RedEagle and Alyva's parts are open for grabs. They've been really busy and have temporarily withdrawn from the RP. We've been basically botting them for now. And feel free to take Luke if you want.

So, everybody, we've gotten off of Centerpoint. We've had a meeting to discuss future actions. Aidel Saxan has called a peace meeting, and Pellaeon is going to negotiate with her. The Jedi accompanying them are Han, Leia, Jaden Redgrave, Jaden Korr, Jaing, Calvin, Jacen, Jaina, and Kyp Durron. Kyp and Jaden Korr (Female LS version) are easily bottable.

So we'll have some free time for at least two RPG standard days, where our characters can get into as much trouble as possible. Then they will fly to Toryaz Station, a place orbiting the moon of Kuat in the Five Brothers. There will be a party, and after that there will be an attack and Saxan will be killed. Jaing will investigate a piece of cloth left at the scene that desribes a variety of Force-based cultures, including, naturally, the Sith. He will travel to Lorrd to investigate the cloth with a respected scientist. Accompanied by Ben, he'll meet Nelani Dinn, the Jedi Watchman of the place. For the next day or so they'll go around the place and attempt to calm down citizens who claim to have been visited by Force Ghosts.

So. While they do this, Ben is given some free time (so is everybody else). He looks around and notices a ship the fits the description of the one that left before Toryaz Station erupted into mass carnage. He gets people to watch it, and informs Jaing and Nelani. The bring the owner, Brisha Syo, into custody for questioning. She's actually Lumiya.

She convinces him to come with her to her habitat, and former asteroid mining facility. Nothing much happens there, except Jaing kills Nelani and Selena and Ben face evil versions of each other across the galaxy. Diddo for Luke and Jaing. So after Lumiya turns Jaing, he kills Nelani and they leave. As they do, Lumiya talks with Darth Vevicutus, and Jaing mind rubs Ben's memory. Thus begins Book 2: Bloodlines.

But while all this stuff is happening, we can have little subplots going in during the background. I don't want anybody left out in the RP. We're already through half of Book 1, but there's not enough interest in the RP to keep it going. Now, I want some ideas posted here for what your characters can do while Jaing and Ben are away.

[hk47fan]

Oh, I had an idea that could play a part later down the line.

Maybe we could off/on show the EDF/UNE/Earth Jedi Order and GA interacting, and the EDF's doubts about them could grow as the books go on, especially since Omas always uses the EDF as his lackeys. And then in Inferno, they could take a big part of the war by breaking the alliance with the GA.

What do you all think?

[Abby]

Hmm... If they break the alliance, maybe they would blow up the Gateway. If they side with Corellia, however, or even stay out of the war, they could watch and if things get too hot and they'd rather be done with it, they could leave for good. What do you think?

[hk47fan]

I doubt they'd blow up the Gateway yet, considering there are probably alot of EDF people still in the SW Galaxy, and ALOT of Earth people. I don't know the EDF/UNE government from top to bottom or how they think, but I'd imagine since Jaing is POWERFUL, they might see him as a threat and try to eliminate him.

[Abby]

That would probably mean siding with Corellia. Remember, at the end of Inferno Han and Leia gave the OK for assassination attempts.

[Junk Angel]

I could take Corran and Mirax
It is after Rogue squadron right?
Since I see anakin etc...

[hk47fan]

Anakin actually lived through the Yuuzhan Vong War(this series has been one spanning from shortly after KOTOR II , skipping four thousand years, then from the Original Trilogy onward), along with a TON of other twists.

It will be quite confusing at first.

[Junk Angel]

alright, if someone could tell me in very short what happened, I'll gladly join

[Commander Shephard]

If you've read it, we're up to the mid-way point of Book 1, just after the brewup over Klauskin's unsanctioned operation over Corellia.

Give me a moment, and I'll find out what roles we need to fill....

[EagleEyes]

Hey, guys! I'm back! I'll be disappearing on/off sometimes because of my little sis, so if I don't show up for a post go ahead and bot my characters.

[Abby]

We've finally figured out Jaing's Sith name... "Dark Lord Solus." Solus means 'one' and 'single' in Mando'a.
