Millennia ago, the Massassi warriors erected ziggurats on the fourth moon of the Yavin system in honor of their Sith overlords. However, a little over a century ago, the Alliance to Restore the Republic turned these grandiose symbols of oppression and slavery into symbols of hope, resistance, and rebellion. From the Great Temple on Yavin 4, the Rebel Alliance launched a desperate assault against the first Death Star, which triggered a war that led to the downfall of the most despotic dictatorship the galaxy had seen since the old Sith Empires.
In the decades since, the landscape of the galaxy has changed. Darkness rises beyond the Outer Rim, crime runs rampant, and the Jedi Order has only just begun to gather enough numbers to make a difference again. Now, it is time to use those numbers and establish a presence outside of Ajan Kloss. The Jedi Council has authorized a mission to Yavin 4 in the hopes of turning the Great Temple—once a Rebel Alliance outpost—into a praxeum from which new Jedi can be trained. But the task will not be easy.
A spice running group calling itself "Red Dawn" is currently using the empty shell of the Great Temple as a base for their operations, and they will not hand it over with ease. Our mission is to chase the spice-runners out of the temple and off of the moon so that the Jedi Order can reclaim it as a school for new recruits.
Missions
- FULL Thread 1 — Below the Great Giant: The spice-runners guard the space above Yavin 4 with a squadron of Preybird-class starfighters. Your mission is to distract this squadron while our ground team conducts its operations. Chase them off if you can. Destroying them is a last resort, but an acceptable outcome to the mission. Signed-up: @Malon @Nightfall
- FULL Thread 2 — Valley of the Shadow: Some of the spice-runners have taken to plundering nearby temples for any remaining Massassi artifacts to sell on the black market. The most profitable dig site lies in the Massassi Valley adjacent to the Great Temple site. Go there and run off the thieves. Bring back any artifacts they have unearthed for the growing Jedi Library as a bonus. Signed-up: @Nefieslab @samdragon
- FULL Thread 3 — In the Shadow of the Temple: In the aftermath of the Battle of Yavin, the Galactic Empire seized the Great Temple in hopes of tracking down the Rebel Alliance. As a result, some of their tech remained behind. The spice-runners have taken over that tech—namely, 3 archaic AT-ST walkers—and are using them to defend the landing pad outside the temple. Take out those walkers and obtain the surrender of the remaining pilots. Signed-up: @Algarus @TWD26
- FULL Thread 4 — Signal Scramblers: We also need to ensure the spice-runners cannot enlist reinforcements. On the very outward perimeter of the Great Temple complex, there exists two large communications towers. Get to the towers, deal with the patrols guarding them, and jam the spice-runner's communications. Signed-up: @Charndley @Wit
- FULL Thread 5 — The Old Death Star: Some of the first Death Star's wreckage has fallen onto Yavin 4. Because of the millions of death that took place when the battle station exploded, its wreckage is stained with a wound in the Force that is strong in the dark side. We must cleanse this area before allowing impressionable Padawans to be trained on the moon. Go to the Death Star's ruins and conduct a cleansing ritual, but be aware of the dark phantasms it will create from your own fears and pasts. Signed-up: @Insalius @Powerfullhorus
Notes
Two (2) Jedi per thread should be all that are needed. Anymore will cause the plot to slow down, which is not what we want. These threads can be either Dice or self-DMed, but please do not abuse the dice (i.e., rolling a nat. 1 is a critical failure and should be treated as such). Likewise, try to tell a well thought-out story with your self-DM threads.
If you cannot continue a thread you signed up for, for whatever reason, please contact myself (@Malon) either on the site or Discord to locate a replacement. Do not let your thread just stagnate and die. Incomplete plots do not look good for the faction. I will be checking on all participants regularly to ensure the plot is moving along.
Finally, there is incentive for those at the Jedi Knight rank to participate and complete this plot. Should this plot be a success and the Great Temple turned into a Jedi Praxeum, Knights will have the opportunity to become part of the teaching staff, which will help with their reputation throughout the Order.
