USH'S STAR WARS GAME- CAMPAIGN II EPISODE VI (LIGHT SIDE)- Missing Links

I got pretty tapped out of ideas trying to crack the language barrier. I'm sure there are other ways we can narrow things down, but I can't imagine any.

I think we are ready to start making some rolls and see what we've got going on.
I'll make Fix-it rolls to remove corrupted information and parse what is left into a useable format.
Jelena can make language rolls looking for Huttese.

Sounds good to me! As I've been saying, Jelena will ace this part. She probably knows Huttese fluently with as much authenticity as she can muster.

Alright, if I can I'll help on the corrupted data part. Could probably help on Languages too but not as well.

Ok, let's call it and see!

Yes indeed there are parts in Huttese and there are parts that refer to astronomical co-ordinates and the like, though trying to get context is impossible.

Are there any sorts of co-ordinates/locations you want to rule out?

Could we reasonably rule out coordinates within the Republic?

Whether that is reasonable or not is up to you. but you certainly can do so. You can check easily enough for a rough idea of what was Republic-held space at the time.

I think we can call it reasonable. I highly doubt Kazan would want to shoot the Scrolls off into enemy territory.

So possibly somewhere remote, uninhabitable or both either inside or outside the Republic. A planet that isn't unstable but no one would ever want to settle would be a good hiding spot, though speculation doesn't help too much until we decypher that data.

This was our understanding about places that the scrolls could be hidden. Anyway we could search for these types of locals?

Pretty much, I think we can rule out any co-ordinates that refer to places that were well populated at the time. We shouldn't rule out worlds within the Republic, but certainly rule out ones that were held or used by them.

The problem with doing it by planetary conditions is that once you rule out Republic worlds, many of these co-ordinates are basically uncharted.

Which to me makes those loctions all the more likely to be what we're looking for. Any chance we can search this computer for star charts/map info not found in Republic information?

Then maybe we can make 2 lists? Charted and uncharted?
Look up coordinates. Find ones that are charted and check those against our planetary conditions. Both inside the republic and outside.
Because at least we will be able to narrow down worlds we know of. Uncharted coordinates we would literally have to fly around and look at them all.

Well, what that comes down to is that including Republic worlds gives you four times as many hits as not.

How about only Republic world's as it was at the time.

You're already taking your best shot at that. It;s hard to gauge accurately how far Malphas' occupation had spread.

Wouldn't moving to somewhere else in his domain be too obvious though?

Maybe not obvious per se, but there is an issue with him sending the stuff to occupied Sith territory, if you think about the Sith.

Going with that logic, maybe we should exclude Sith territory entirely. The Sith did not trust each other, and if the Scrolls possibly contain info that could lead us to the Syphar N Kalar, then I doubt Darth Kazan would just shoot it off somewhere other Sith could obtain them.

How many hits do we have if we exclude both Republic and Sith territory from our results?

We probably would have heard about them falling into someone else's hands if he just gave them to the other Sith nearby.
