STAR WARS: RETROSPECTION- Trackdown

"Did you win your war?"

"Of course we did," Xavier replies.

"He was controlling Galder's body, which means he was able to fight with Galder's skill. And unfortunately that idiot is a bit better at fighting than I am."

"Yeah that's also why we need the extra help. Galder maybe a little nut but he is good at killing things."

"Getting killed by Galder is luckily still a bit off, we should see how we can get into the position to be killed by him.

I guess Azarl, Rianna and I (people with Jedi Lore) could research some about this Rallo, although he might not have made much of an impression on history the way you guys talk. But maybe we find a lead about his time anyways."

He looks at Xavier then at Relle

"Since you two can't read it would probably be best if you look into a way to track Dak's ship.

Unless we have better ideas?"

"I can read just fine Con," Xavier points out Con he does have Jedi Lore.

"Still our skills could probably be better used tracking down Dak's ship," Xavier replies.

Xavier wants gather any information he can on the Bureau's network and how they use to track down ships.

Jedi Lore would definitely come in handy sussing more about Rallo's time period. While not a big name in his day, you could draw some associations with his contemporary Sith overseers and go from there, potentially.

Lacking extensive resources here on Epireus for that sort of research, you need to use general knowledge from your past studies, or you can figure out a resource you could gain access to.

Either would come down to Jedi Lore rolls. Pros and cons to both.

-

Xavier- the Epireus group knows about the Bureau network better than most, having survived a handful of encounters with them. It is a network of planetary relays and satellites throughout Republic space, detecting ships by their transponder codes (or entire lack thereof).

Here, the challenge would be figuring out how to make use of it. You can't imagine the Bureau would let you borrow it for just a moment.

You do have the Black Dawn's transponder codes already, from Dak himself.

I assume we could manually hook into the network if we managed to get to one of the satellites? Of course we want to make sure they can't get a record of Dak's Transponder code while we do it.

What kind of pros and cons? Azarl has the highest Jedi Lore of those playing.

Working with what you already have is safe but limited.

Finding an outside resource gives you more information but may require leaving Epireus.

Also, the more people working on Jedi Lore, the better the results. But you cannot do anything else during this period.

--

Xavier- that would mean hunting around for a satellite inside Republic space. That could take time, which risks discovery.

A rudimentary Fix-It check for technical knowledge tells you that the Bureau could probably cut the satellite out of the network if it appeared compromised.

A planetary relay would work better...

We commit to figuring out stuff about where (when?) Rallo comes from or we do other stuff. Got it.

Anyone want to join Azarl in working on that? We should probably figure out what else needs to be done so we don't overcommit on Jedi history time.

Could Xavier find relays that closer to the fringe of Republic space?

What was the planet we were on with the Dugs and stuff? Where Xavier sliced and diced the transponder tower? I remember that being not too far from Epireus; if they fixed their stuff that could be a possibility.

You imagine you could, Xavier!

Rianna- you're referring to Newhaven, and it's a no-go. The Bureau upped their presence in the system (read as: more patrol cruisers, more Osokan teams) and began providing direct funding to the Dug militias (read as: more Dugs armed with more and bigger guns, addition of a fleet squadron of starfighters and other planetary defenses).

I think Newhaven was before my time?

Relle has lots of useful tactical skills but she's not great at research in any direction... but maybe the Fellowship can help her in some way? She will see if her assassin friend Graf wants to join in the hunt.

Yeah we joined after that, Relle.

Anyone going to help Azarl with Jedi Lore research? I don't want to make the decision alone.

Xavier will try to find one of those planets. One that is far enough away from Eperius and hopefully less guarded.

Newhaven was a mess that included such fun as the Friendship Circle, shoplifting in an intergalactic Home Depot, and pondering the possibilities of Dug skin disguises. It was, um, interesting. And a long time ago.

Rianna can help with the research. She's not bad with Jedi Lore, plus she knows about how Rallo got trapped, which may be useful in pinpointing more info.

Two for Sith research class! Just need a decision if you're leaving Epireus or staying on it for this.

Xavier- it will be Savoir-Faire to start browsing for fringe Republic worlds that have Bureau presence.

Oh really....perhaps Con can be of some assistance!
