STAR WARS: RETROSPECTION- Home

"I don't know. We started looking around the marketplace. I found that Gabriel's partner had been ambushed and killed. Then we got ambushed, and they took Sunda! I need to get patched up and go back in after him!"

"Unfortunately that will not be possible," Senator Iblis says. "Aside from the fact that the Jenet, in tandem with the cultists, are preparing for war against their hosts, it will be a political nightmare for us if anyone steps foot inside their colony again. You at least received the blessing of their leader. Now things are different. The Diktat has ordered everyone to remain outside the colony, and not to fire upon the Jenet."

"Do you know where Sunda was taken?" Sky asks, alarmed.

"Senator, the person who took my padawan was Force Sensitive. My senses were clouded by the influence of the Dark Side as soon as I began to investigate. This individual attacked me, and took me off guard with his use of the Force. We arn't looking at a simple insurrection. There is something different and sinister going on here. There is some other influence, and if it involves beings proficient with the force, well its a much bigger issue."
"And Sky, I don't know where they took Sunda."

Sky and Senator Iblis are equally alarmed by the news. Sky, because it is never good news when a Dark Sider is involved, and Senator Iblis, because this means that things are more dangerous than they already were.

"Sunda is in grave danger," Sky says. "But I don't know if will be able to leave the capital at this point, and we have no leads as to his whereabouts now."

"You MUST find out who this dark figure is!" Senator Iblis says. "If he's the one that is behind all of this, he needs to pay."

"How would we even find that out?" Sky asks.

Hmm, I don't know. Did I happen to see where the speeder went after I got hit by the rocket?

It zipped off somewhere, but the direction it was going... you think it may have left the colony.

Well, I will relay that information to the parties present.
its probably easier to look for Sunda and the force-user outside of the colony. (and by probably easier I mean actually feasible as opposed to impossible....)

Indeed, it would not make much sense to find him inside the colony, not to mention that it is effectively devolving into a war zone with CorSec trying to surround it.

That leaves... the rest of the planet.

"I am sure the Council will allow a breach in our mandate to pursue your student," Sky says. "If he has indeed been capture by someone trained in the dark arts, Sunda should be recovered as quickly as possible."

"I'm not sure you will be able to," the Senator says. "The Diktat is very firm in her belief that you should remain here, now that a conflict with the Jenet has been triggered. The Senate is not even sure how to approach this issue, presently."

Umm, damn.
Well A) Yea, searching the whole planet is going to be difficult. But also B) I'm very much unhappy with the idea of sitting around on guard duty while Sunda is out kidnapped somewhere..

"The Diktat might be convinced otherwise," says Senator Iblis, "but things are rapidly escalating here. She's afraid she's lost control."

Bumping! Let's see if we can't finish this.

Here's where Roan currently stands:

On Corellia, the Red Rain anti-Republic terrorist group openly declared war, and possibly found support within the Jenet, a nomadic group transplanted on Corellia to escape their dying homeworld Garban. The Jenet colony has been cordoned off by CorSec, the millitary-police organization that protects Corellia.

Your father and the head of CorSec, Gabriel Trilanger, has lost his partner to the terrorist group. He and you suffered numerous wounds fighting your way out of the Jenet colony.

Currently, your mandate from the Senate and the Jedi Council pertain only to protecting the Diktat, the leader of Corellia. However, with Sunda missing and an apparent Force-user on the loose, you might need to overstep that boundary...

Shortly after meeting with Senator Iblis, the Trilangers get submitted to a makeshift medical wing within the Corellian capitol building. Intended to treat the Diktat should something befall her, Roan receives the best medical attention possible. They apply bacta to your numerous blaster wounds and remove shrapnel from rocket bursts.

Gabriel sits nearby as you rest.

"I don't think the Kalat knew," Gabriel says, referring to the Jenet leader. "He told you to go forth and do justice. I don't think he's involved with the cultists."

"I agree, his mind felt clouded. He may have been deceived about what was going on in the colony."

What does my damage count look like?

Gabriel agrees with you.

"And we dealt with Kardir, the leader of the terrorists. The man was a demagogue and ran a personality cult, so I'm not surprised he'd gotten so many to rally to his cause. He knew what to say and who to say it to. But what I'm not getting is how he would've gotten the Jenet on board."

Damage wiped clean. Consider yourself sore but healed.

"Groups of dissatisfied refugees can be highly impressionable. He may have promised them more land, or something. Even having a purpose may have been attractive to them. That, or he made an alliance with the Force User we encountered, they may have a closer tie to the Jenet than we know."

"Someone with a connection to the Jenet that goes back to before the colony?" Gabriel asks for clarification. "You say Force-User. Do you mean another Jedi?"

"Someone with the gift for the Force. Not everyone who has access to the Force is a Jedi, only those who have been selected and trained by the Jedi Temple. There are individuals who, for whatever reason, miss this training. They may be from a location too isolated for the Jedi to reach or there may be something about them that would cause them to avoid the Jedi. The Force is a tricky thing, it is a power than can be used for great good, or great evil. Without training, without a proper control of emotions the Force becomes dangerous. Fear and hate take over, leading to corruption. These are Dark Force Users, or individuals who have fallen to the Dark Side. This is who we are dealing with."

"However, your thought on a pre-Corellia connection with the Jenet is a good one. This may be where we need to look."

"That doesn't sound good," Gabriel says. "Which do you think we're dealing with?"

Your instincts feel good about that. How do you want to go about researching that?

"I doubt the person we are dealing with has had formal training. They are not a Jedi."
(If thats what he's asking. If he's asking if they are a force user or someone with a close connection to the Jenet, my answer is both.)

He wanted to know if you think this is a follower of the Dark Side. And putting that together with some of Kardir's and his cultists' rhetoric, you think that you are.

Then I will say that.
"Yes, this is a follower of the Dark Side. And this makes our situation here much more dangerous."
