Getting a New Lightsaber

[Fantasy Liver]

1) What is going to happen in your plot? After having lost his lightsaber to an Exile, my Jedi character Shryke, will try to steal a lightsaber from a Cartel Hutt's private collection. As a secondary goal, he'll try to recover other lightsabers of dead Jedi to be laid to rest with their respective Jedi.

2) What other players will be part of this? This will be an open thread so any Jedi/Cartel character.

3) Where will this take place? A Hutt castle on Nar Shaaddaa.

4) Provide a basic timeline of events. The Jedi crew will break into the palace, fight their way to the treasury, recover the lightsabers and fight their way out. Enemies might be NPC or PC Cartel troops depending on who signs up.

5) What does your character hope to achieve with this plot? A replacement lightsaber so he can track down the Exile who stole his original and bring him to justice. Also, he seeks to recover dead Jedi's lightsabers to honor his fallen comrades and also to hurt the Cartel.

6) Do you need any canon NPC's or faction leaders? I'm not too sure. Shryke's plan is to execute this heist while the Hutt who owns the castle is away so we don't really need a Hutt NPC and the goons and hired guns could potentially be NPCs. However, I could see how the Cartel faction leader controlling the goons would make for a better thread.

Hey @Fantasy Liver! A couple of important notes.

First, as a Jedi you don't have to do a plot to get a new lightsaber. You can simply do one thread to get a kyber crystal and rebuild the saber. For example, Jedha has crystal caves where a kyber crystal can be easily found. However, if you wish to do the above plot there are several things that must be taken into consideration.

• You need to list out who will actually participate. Listing the thread as open is not sufficient since people may not join.
• The number of threads need to be listed. One thread does not qualify as a plot and is certainly not enough to break into a Hutt's palace.
• The Cartel guards the lightsabers they have acquired incredibly closely. Stealing sabers from the Cartel would require a staff member to DM (likely one of the plot mods) and could result in character death. It would be very difficult to pull off. Even if the thievery was a success, the characters involved would become known enemies of the Cartel.

@Valen Pelora Okay that makes sense. I figured that since lightsabers are somewhat hard to obtain, I'd need a plot to get a new one. Are there other crystal caves apart from Jedha that could be used such as Illum? Also, do I have to detail me building the saber or just getting the crystal? Thanks!

Ilum is an option but far more dangerous than Jedha. Since the battle of Ilum the planet is a wasteland. You do not need permission to RP on Ilum but there is always a chance a staff member begging DM posts in an Ilum thread because of the planet's dangerous nature.

There is also the lightsaber forge that Insal built. The link leads to the lore write-up. The Forge would have a few kyber crystals about to use. Jedha and Vrogas Vas are probably the less dangerous options. You would not have to RP out actually building the saber, finding the crystal is enough. We expect trained Jedi Knights to be able to build the sabers once they have the crystal.
