USH'S STAR WARS GAME- CAMPAIGN II EPISODE IV (RENEGADES)- Battlefield

"That I won't deny, we did build it. A very special project of mine. We built its initiual strategic programming based on data we received from Arminium. We are thankful, Xeth, for the data you provided us there. But no-one will ever be looking any more into it, nor will your so-called proof be any use to you dead."

"I knew Ryamore transmitted something from Arminium," Xeth says. "I am guessing that you are referring to how well Jedi Knights do against your droid armies, am I correct?"

"An interesting equstion; working out precisely what weight of droid would be needed to take on a force of Knights.

"Not an equation that works in all situations, though. A droid army is slow to deploy, difficult to move around. The BV-50 is but one machine, and easily re-deployed."

"So I've noticed," Xeth says. "In any case, we're not dead yet."

"Not exactly in a commanding position, are you? We'll be leaving soon, and no, you are not coming with us."

Its fun having nothing to do... 😄 Erm, Ush, how many xp points did we get on our prequal game? I'd like to buy a Force Power... or increase one of my skill ponts?

(Oh, you do not have nothing to do. You have to figure out where that forward base is! Because it is where I am and I cannot simply tell you how I found it! And xp will be handled in a separate thread when Ush deems appropriate.)

"Wasn't planning on it," Xeth says. "But you won't kill me."

It doesn't matter, because you haven't had time to spend them. I am waiting for the xp system to be finalised before finalising points.

To tide you guys over before you exchange info, I shall explain about the Dark Thrael.

The Cult of Charaeus are a religious techno-cult, and they believe they are slowly constructing their own machine God. Their legends say that there is an agent of that God known as the Dark Thrael, that is unstoppable, and punishes those unworthy. Vlad has reason to think the Thrael is this new weapon system.

But what Vlad also discovered on Charaeus is that the Thrael was recently brought to the Cult by a man described as having mechanical eyes. he also brought many battle droids, who helped purge the Cult of those who did not believe that the robot he brought was the Thrael.

Vlad is fairly sure that this man with mechanical eyes is Cirus Cannes, head of Special Projects of the Techno Union. If this is so, it means the Union has taken control of the Cult, though that may be difficult to prove.

"You think I cannot? You wpould prefer another go at the BV-50, perhaps? The tide has turned, Jedi. Your martial skills are no longer a trump card."

"Not quite what I had in mind," Xeth says. "How about a game of cards?"

"Like your Order, you think in old fashioned ways. Such ways get swept aside. My entire Union is about progress, you see.

"We should kill him now," says Cannes' blue-skinned companion. he draws a gun.

"Ah, no," says Cannes. "A gun is certain but suspicious. Eventiually some of Xeth's friends will likely come to this place looking for him, and dead bodies amongsat the trackless ice wastes would normally vanish but Jedi have this irritating habit of instinct. Finding the bodies having been shot will... encourage curioisity that he found something here."

"I know!" Xeth declares. "I was eaten by wildlife. I heard Rekiarius has some rather vicious indigenous lifeforms living beneath the ice."

"Who is he?" Vera-Kin asks, indicating the blue-skinned alien.

"Just an executive aid of mine.

"Oh, and whilst there is no wildlife, many would die in these ice wastelands, Xeth. Shot bodies are suspicious. Drowned bodies, though... ice slides here are common. An unfortunate accident. The Jedi would leave it there."

"Would they?" Xeth says. "Well, it seems this is the end, then. Goodbye, Cirus. I'll see you in hell."

"So you don't know where Xeth is now, why don't we investigate where he was. That destroyed liner, perhaps it will give us a clue to where he went?"

The liner is in dry dock; Vlad was there longer than Xeth, I think.

Now, which of you Renegades has a ship?

-

"You may be wondering, of course, about how we will hide this base you have so searched for?" says Cannes.

"I think I have an idea," Xeth says.

-

Wentar and Fas'hohk both have ships... but Fas'hohk has no way of flying his. Wentar is the best pilot of the Renegades, actually, with Kiu Dun and Xeth not far behind.

Ah, that old trick, eh?

-

"I feel you made a mistake there, Xeth," says Cannes. And at this point, the floor starts to slide away, revealing snow underneath; Cannes steps lightly to rebalance himself.

I've got my ship The Freelancer.
