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

the experienced ones will have to lead this one too because they know how to fight the droids....

and if we don't have to split up, we better don't do it I think... though they urgently have to figur out what's going on with the shield, 'cause if it's a computervirus or anything, more can follow!

"Colonel Minas, I will remain here with you," Xeth says, limping alongside the Colonel. "I am no use to my friends in this condition. I will coordinate them, if you can arrange for it. Once my friends are on their way, inform the Marshall that the Jedi have been sent in to assist the generator defenses."

Xeth speaks with his friends.

"Friends, follow Kiu Dun and Vera-Kin's lead. They have fought the BV-50. They know what to do. Destroy it, at all costs."

"Indeed... Let the force be with you, Xeth" sais Vlad nodding at Xeth. "Rather not split up... Vera-Kin, if I can ask, what are the weak points of the droid? I heard you mention before laser fire won't hurt it much?"

Vlad will head out after Minos.

"The Dark Thrael is surrounded by an energy shield," Vera-Kin says. "No firearm can breach it. It is difficult for our lightsabers, but it can be done, if one strikes at the right angle and with the right amount of strength."

Ok, so a bunch of you guys are heading out onto a landing pad to get on the transport. Something you notice is that this planet seems very much skewed towards atmospheric flight. They don't seem to have a fleet, for example- not being unified would make that more difficult anyway, but it seems to you that, behind their rgeat shield, they have never felt the need for anythinfg like a fighter defence, and their insular nature has meant they have never needed to deploy fighters elsewhere.

I would also prefer it if Xeth could contact the Jedi Council to inform them of the situation and if he could hail the battlefleet of the Union to attempt peacetalks. Yeah, they'll misfire of course, but I do not feel a Jedi should rush into battle unless other options have been tried.

No harm in exploring the disruption at the station in the mean time of course!

Who is staying behind, btw?

The Selen already tried and failed to contact them.

The lack of fighter defense is beginning to make me think... People with good pilot and star ships may be smarter to stay behind. If the Feds send in their star fighters the Aluran's will need our help. Maybe Xeth, Wentar and another decent pilot stay behind? Instead of just Xeth alone.

EDIT: I'd like Wentar to stay behind, he'd probably be more use with the Selen, since he's more geared to social then combat.

This drod's shields can hold up against small blaster fire, but what about heavy blaster fire? From one of our ships maybe? I know it's fast, and could probably dodge, but if we got a few of our stronger force users to hold it in place we might be able to blast it out of the air.

The firepower on a fighter craft would certainly do better against it, but it's a bastard to hit.

Nippy little bastard, too.

Xeth and Wentar will be staying behind, but the BV-50 requires extreme prejudice to destroy, so I think everyone else should be ready to take it down...

Vlad will definately go as he is very combat centered.

So it is settled, Xeth and Wentar stay behind and the rest go on?

Sure! I see no problem with it.

fine by me

Ok, many of you are in this air transport, bombing it over at al speed towards this island.

Those of you left behind with the Colonel- now is a good time to get a handle on this planet. Anyone got any questions for him?

First I'll ask the obvious I guess.

"So why has Alura never unified as a planet, Colonel?"

(plus why they don't want to join the republic, their interplanetary dangers they face(d), the help they (may) receive from other planets... All about their foreign relations, please!)

Excellent thinking, Jovan. I'll make sure those questions get asked.

Xeth stays beside Wentar, using him for balance when he tires of his inability to use his leg. Xeth is mostly toughing it out due to his extreme athleticism, but he can only do so much.

He waits to hear what Colonel Minas says.

To the Colonel, the idea of unifying as a planet is rather foreign, but his best thought is that most unifird p[lanets in the Republic did so only because of the presence of other unified wprlds, when external tensions replaced internal ones. That never happened here (though he admits that it would have to have started somewhere in the Republic, that might just be a vaguery of history).

Why don't they want to be the Republic? They don't feel much like being chained to a decaying political bureaucracy, surrendering their sovereignty and their tax money to an organisation that, frankly, has no power this far out.

But other than trading they have no formal relations with other nearby planets, nearly all of which are, to varying degrees, under Hutt control, or too small, pointless or poverty stricken to care much about.

The rest of you just headed off the coast out onto a beautiful blue sea, where the iland is pretty close, not far from shore.

You are pretty sure the black smoke is bad news.

Can Vlad feel anything in the force?
