Hello @Arclight, this is a submission for a plot that revolves around starting off the Dark Roots story for the Exiles.

1. What is going to happen in your plot?

Warlord Zerek Xesh has called forces to him in order to establish a foothold on the dark planet of Anzat. In order for the Jedi Exiles to make their way onto the planet's surface while remaining stable, a presence on one of the many orbiting space stations is required. Hearing of this order from the Warlord, Jabhar Darnor has sent out word to some other Exile contacts who have all traveled to the space station Ignis in order to assist in their dark leader's cause. Through subterfuge and brute force, the criminal organizations on the station will either crumble or submit until the Exiles have control of the station's underground, and thus a way onto and off of the planet's surface...

2. What other players will be a part of this?

@Handyman as Jabhar Darnor
@Topher Ridge as Kolas Lindo
@Hugh Capet as Anæus Pellaxus Vargam
@Shogun as Sylas Frost
@Incubus as Elias Canaan
@Odric as Odric Arriston
@Handyman as everything in between!

3. Where are all the places (if more than one) that your plot will be taking place?

Ignis Station - a space station orbiting the planet Anzat.

4. Please provide a basic in-character timeline of what you expect to happen.

Thread 1 Name:Meeting of the Small Council (Day 1)
Characters:Jabhar Darnor (@Handyman)
Kolas Lindo (@Topher Ridge)
Anæus Pellaxus Vargam (@Hugh Capet)
Sylas Frost (@Shogun)
Elias Canaan (@Incubus)
Odric Arriston (@Odric)
Summary:Having finally arrived on Ignis separately, the Exiles make their way to a private room acquired by Jabhar Darnor, who arrived a week earlier, in the stations Center district. With intelligence gathered prior to the meeting, the Exiles must decide how to take out the three rival gangs who run Ignis station, either by bending them to their will, or by eliminating them.

Thread 2 Name:Handling the Hogs (Day 4)
Characters:Jabhar Darnor (@Handyman)
Kolas Lindo (@Topher Ridge)
Anæus Pellaxus Vargam (@Hugh Capet)
Sylas Frost (@Shogun)
Elias Canaan (@Incubus)
Odric Arriston (@Odric)
Summary:The first step in controlling Ignis Station is the destruction of the Red Hogs. This gang is a band of brutal arms deals that sell to anyone who passes through the station and wants to buy guns and ammunition. Though their contacts and assets would be useful to the Exiles, they are also the most likely to rebel against the soon-to-be rulers of the base. As such, they need to be eliminated. Whether the group decides to walk through the front door, lightsabers ignited, or to take a stealthier approach, the Leader of the gang must be killed. Without him, a Rodian named Cheebo, the group will fall apart. Anyone else who dies is just icing on the cake.

Thread 3 Name:Cracking the Enigma (Day 8)
Characters:Anæus Pellaxus Vargam (@Hugh Capet)
Sylas Frost (@Shogun)
Davin Gort (leader of the Enigma Corps NPC played by @Handyman)
Summary:Regardless of how the Exiles took care of the Hogs, word of their exploits has spread like wildfire. The remaining two gangs are trying to decide between teaming up against the Exiles, or submitting to their rule. The Enigma Corps, a gang that deals mostly in information, is teetering on the edge of which choice to make. Their access to information on the planet below as well as the people the come and go from the station is invaluable, but the four Exiles can't run that operation themselves. To that end, Anæus Pellaxus Vargam ad Sylas Frost make their way to the Enigma District of the station to convince the Engima Corps to submit to their rule. The method with which they achieve their cooperation is up to them, as long as the outcome is the same...

Thread 4 Name:Too Spicy for Us (Day 9)
Characters:Kolas Lindo (@Topher Ridge)
Elias Canaan (@Incubus)
Summary:Regardless of how the Exiles took care of the Hogs, word of their exploits has spread like wildfire. The remaining two gangs are trying to decide between teaming up against the Exiles, or submitting to their rule. Odium, a group of spice makers and dealers are one of the remainig two groups, and they are hoping that the Enigma Corps will join up with them and push back these new Exile forces so that the station can be theirs again. With that information in hand, along with the fact that spice dealers are of little use to the Exiles at this time, Jabhar Darnor and Kolas Lindo have been dispatched to destroy their cooking location and wipe out as many of them as they can. The destruction of their source of income should force them to either flee or join up with the Enigma Corps and serve under them. The Exiles will just have to be careful they don't blow themselves up as well...

Thread 5 Name:Assault on the New HQ (Day 14)
Characters:Jabhar Darnor (@Handyman)
Odric Arriston (@Odric)
Summary:The recent increase in dead bodies and explosions on the station have led some of the more...courageous members of the station security forces to put their foot down and try to stop the hostile takeover. Jabhar and his unwilling apprentice find their new headquarters at the Red Hogs' old base under attack by some of these men. The pair must defend the base until their allies return so that a counter attack can be planned.

Thread 5 Name:I Fought the Law (Day 24)
Characters:Jabhar Darnor (@Handyman)
Kolas Lindo (@Topher Ridge)
Anæus Pellaxus Vargam (@Hugh Capet)
Sylas Frost (@Shogun)
Elias Canaan (@Incubus)
Odric Arriston (@Odric)
Summary:Ignis Station is almost in the hands of the Exiles, but there is one last loose end to take care of. In order to assert the dominance of the Exiles, the Ignis Security forces must be quelled so that they understand that resistance is futile. The Exile force, as well as the few combat read members of the Enigma Corps are storming the Security Headquarters and teaching them who is in charge. There will be so stealth, there will be no subtlety, and there will be no survivors. Ignis base WILL belong to the Exiles, and the first step to the planet surface will be taken.

5. What do you or your character hope to achieve with this plot? What is the "end-game"?

By the end of this plot, the hope is to have secured Ignis Station as an Exile Outpost from which Exiles can travel to and from freely. They will have influence over the last remaining gang, the Enigma Corps, but they will mostly serve as meat shields and sources of information about the surface of the planet.

This is also meant to be the first step in establishing a foothold on the planet's surface, after which Jabhar Darnor and other Exiles will be able to launch a mission to establish some control down there, thus further contributing (and possibly completing) the Dark Roots Mission.

6. Do you need any involvement of canon NPCs or faction leaders to be DMed by a staff member? If so, please detail who/what and for what purpose.

No faction leaders or canon NPCs will be required.
