Open to all those that wish to help distribute aid to the local populace. Thread will be DM'd by me, Hera will be present but do not expect her to solve every problem. Let's do some humanitarian aid work!
Too long had the Jedi sat by and watched the galaxy experience trouble, hardship, and pain. This was not the way that Hera intended to allow the order to operate any longer. Before being stopped, the former Supreme Chancellor set his 5th fleet onto the worlds of Tanaab and Commenor. Fire and destruction had rained down from the heavens onto the unsuspecting citizenry below, annihilating cities, crushing villages, and burning farmland. For a time, it seemed as though the galaxy had been content to turn a blind eye to the suffering of the survivors.

No more.

A small fleet of Jedi ships consisting of three Raider III-Class Corvettes and two Pugio-Class Frigates dispatched from Ithor to the planet of Tanaab, filled to the brim with food, medical supplies, and building materials. Accompanying them, the full might of the Pamarthen pilots and starship techs and the Kowakian Devils' fleet. Hera Albion had made sure to include as many non-Jedi as possible in her work, the people needed to see that the Jedi worked among the regular beings of the galaxy, they did not lord over them. Padawan Aranmir and a funny little Jedi training bot would also come with Hera to organize the aid.

As starfighters, dropships, and transport vessels broke through the atmosphere to the planet below, Hera's heart caught in her throat. The destruction of the planet had been thorough, nothing but wreckage and ruin remained of the once great cities. Even from the skies above, makeshift encampments and roving bandits could be seen flittering about the surface of the world. A mere fraction of the people that once thrived here. Grimacing aboard the deck of the Raider Corvette, Hera spoke aloud to her companions.

"We will set down momentarily. The Pamarthen pilots will traverse the planet and gather lost souls to transport to us for aid. Every hour, more and more people will arrive needing shelter, food, and medical attention. We will provide all of this, and more. I expect the two of you to work once we land, say goodbye to sleep and immerse yourself within the Force."

Turning back toward Aranmir specifically, Hera smiled kindly, "We're going to help these people, as much as we can."

"NONPERTINENT INQUIRY: Am I saying goodbye to sleep in a metaphorical sense? I do not sleep."Knight-Bot "helpfully" pointed out to Hera, hoping the Councilor would not take offense. He remembered their last interaction where he had understandably challenged her to a duel and she had switched him to his JEDI MEET AND GREET function as a result. He hoped to make a better impression this time and to stand out as the Order's most helpful of droids.

"PERTINENT INQUIRY: How may I best assist the efforts of the noble Jedi Order. I can offer SERVICES: MANUAL LABOR to the citizens below or SERVICES: PROTECTION to young Padawan Aranmir. Additionally, I can engage SERVICES: LETHAL COMBAT to the nearby raider groups."Knight-Bot asked, desperately hoping Hera would choose the latter. He was always excited to test his mettle against new opponents; it would provide him with learning opportunities to incorporate into his combat programming so he could serve the Order better in the future.

While the transport approached the landing spot, Aranmir could have a better idea of the situation of Tanaab. There was smoke rising in the sky and ruins were located where once were the cities. The destruction that the Chancellor of the New Republic had left behind was worse than he had expected.

Yes, Master.” Aranmir said to Hera, his eyes never leaving the window. It was the first time that the Tiefling was going to participate in a mission in the middle of a war zone. While he wasn’t a stranger to the horrors of life, with his time living in the street having shown some of it to him, the Padawan wasn’t sure if he was prepared to face the horrors that the crazy Chancellor had left behind.

The only moment that the Padawan turned his attention from the landscape was when he heard the droid that was with them talk. Aranmir wasn’t sure why it was coming with them, since the machine didn’t seem to be the type capable of helping in humanitarian efforts. Perhaps more in training and as a bodyguard.

However, the prospect of having the droid as his bodyguard didn’t please the Tiefling. “I don’t need protection!” Aranmir said immediately, not wanting the droid to give Hera any idea. He was older enough to participate in this type of mission alone.

Hera laughed at Aranmir's response to the Jedi Droid as the ships began setting down near an utterly destroyed city. Already, a crowd had begun to grow near where their designated landing pad had been marked. The crowd did not surprise Hera necessarily. She had chosen the location precisely due to the gathering of civilians that were already calling the place a temporary home. As the ships set down, Hera spoke to the Padawan and Droid,

"Aranmir, I will consider you to be in charge of Knight-Bot. Learning to utilize your tools and companions properly is a key principle of being a Jedi. As for you, Knight-Bot, follow Aranmir's instructions to the best of your ability. However, use proper judgment within the parameters of your programming, and don't do anything that would besmirch the reputation of the Jedi Order." Satisfied with her words, she began heading toward the exit ramp of the vessel.

Exiting the ramp, she could see the shocked and confused faces of the locals about them. Immediately she spoke up with the Force to increase the power of her voice. "Do not be afraid! The Jedi Order is here to help! We will be setting up temporary housing, field hospitals, and soup kitchens! Please keep calm and form orderly lines, follow the directions of myself, Jedi Aranmir, and our helpful Knight-Bot!"

At that, Hera stepped away with the Kowakian Devil's fleet leaders and the Pamarthen personnel. The Pamarthens would be deployed in their fighters and transports to find any survivors across the entire world to bring to this location, while the Kowakian Devils would be tasked with setting up facilities at this location. The personnel brought on the Jedi ships looked to Aranmir (@LouJoVi) and Knight-Bot (@Fantasy Liver) for instructions.

The calamity of the bombardment was even apparent from space above. Victoria found herself unexpectedly holding her breath as the nerves bit deep, unsure how she would react in the realities of war and destruction. It was one thing to see the news from afar but quite another to be on the front lines of the disaster, providing aid to survivors and helping start the process of rebuilding.

Arriving first ahead of a section of support vessels, the Consul swallowed hard before the shuttle doors opened abruptly. Within seconds reality hit like a brick wall, the massive devastation was immeasurable. It was a miracle that anything survived the attack but even in the worst of times, life finds a way. As the scores of humanitarian vessels arrived from the various FWA worlds that had offered their support, Victoria could see that they weren't alone.

Starting with a trickle, eventually, word spread that help had arrived and people appeared out of the woodwork to take the supplies and assistance on offer. The planet would never be the same again, but with time and commitment, they could rebuild and restore some dignity after this terrible tragedy.

"CORRECTION: You are in need of protection. Judging from your training files, I judge IDENTIFICATION: Padawan Aranmir to be vulnerable to numerous threats including explosives, gangs of four or more individuals, practitioners of Form V and Form VII, sustained blasterfire, and poison. Once this humanitarian mission has ended, I am happy to PROFESSIONAL WRESTLING QUOTE (humor): "beat the brakes off of you" in a training session to demonstrate." Knight-Bot told Aranmir in the same neutral tone that one would use to describe particularly mild weather.

That being said, Knight-Bot was not one to shirk away from orders, especially from one as high up as Hera. Haughty though the droid might be, he was proud of his obedience. Unlike some astromech droids he could name, Knight-Bot didn't try and exploit loopholes in directives to achieve his own ends.

"What do you suggest, Master Aranmir?"
