SITHMAS 2011 - DARK SIDE - Presents from Starguard

The Mecrossans will look into it, Rand. They are wary about messing with the Golden Serpent currently and warn you to be cautious... and not to drag them into it.

How is everyone getting to Yarys?

Well, a few of us have ships...so my guess is that those that do are flying and those that don't are hitching rides with them 😛

Azarl could fly a ship if someone will let him. He has Pilot at 1.

So then who is taking their ships?

Rand wants to take Xavier's ship or Dak's ship.

Dak will allow the future calamari on his ship.

Is Dak permitting Azarl to fly it, then? If so, you can depart for Yarys immediately. The Black Dawn is large enough to carry all.

Rianna will hitch a ride with Dak.

Fine, Azarl can fly Dak's highly advanced Arnian ship.

Great!

Yarys is in the same direction of space as the rather unfortunate adventure that took you to the Ghost Citadel, but not nearly as deep into the territory of the Golden Serpent. Rather, it is on the edge, since it serves as its shipping point to the rest of the Galaxy.

The Black Dawn drops out of space just over the planet. You notice something amiss immediately. Starships are hovering in Yarys' orbit. None are heading down to the surface.

"Check the comms," Rand says. "Something is amiss."

Does Rand sense anything wrong?

In a scene almost uncomfortably familiar, is a public service announcement playing on all official broadcast channels. It is a warning that the capital and its main starport have been subjected to a chemical gas attack. It asks all incoming craft to stay clear regardless of destination or status.

Are there any planetary defenses preventing landing? Like fighter patrols or guns?

Azarl will set the ship to scanning for those things, if he may.

"I have a feeling we are not to heed the warning," Azarl says to Rand, "if we want to find out what our shipment is..."

There are a handful of patrol ships keeping order in the space lanes. If there are any other defenses, you cannot see them from space and they are not showing on the scanners.

"I've a feeling that this is a trap," Rianna replies.

And not a very good one either. This is fairly blatant.

But those with high Force scores can sense themselves being drawn to Yarys. Even Rianna can feel a slight tug from the planet below. Something important is here.

"Does anyone else feel that?" Rianna asks.

"I do," Azarl says curtly. "We should descend."

"I do as well," Xavier answers Rianna before nodding his agreement with Azarl.
