The Golden Rule
[SIZE=18pt]Vladet[/SIZE]
[SIZE=11pt]Riding the coattails of Sith Empire’s conquest of Commenor, another group calling itself the Imperial Shadows has carved out its own fiefdom within the Rachuk sector, seizing the historic sector capital Vladet for its wealth and resources. [/SIZE]
[SIZE=11pt]The situation on Vladet was largely unknown to the galaxy at large until locals managed to transmit a distress call. A small team led by Master Dominus was sent to Vladet to investigate under the guise of a diplomatic mission, but a second distress call from the world revealed them to either be captured or on the run ([member="Potentas"]) from the brutal regime now running the planet. [/SIZE]
[SIZE=11pt]One stealth probe was immediately deployed after the Silver Order received the distress call from the investigation team, which confirmed the presence of hostile forces planetside and in space with a large fleet parked in orbit. [/SIZE]
[SIZE=11pt]In response to the threat, a strike team has been deployed, consisting of elite special forces and a handful of experienced Jedi commanders to soften up the planet during night ahead of the main assault group. As for the Imperial fleet, a new weapon system will be employed to handle the enemy ships in one fell swoop. [/SIZE]
[SIZE=11pt]Objectives:[/SIZE][SIZE=11pt] [/SIZE]
[SIZE=11pt]A. Rescue Rangers[/SIZE]
[SIZE=11pt][member="Allyson Locke"], assigned to transport the investigation team, has been located by her subdermal SERE transmitter operating over untraceable [/SIZE][SIZE=11pt]ghostwave[/SIZE][SIZE=11pt]. She is being held at an old Imperial stronghold repurposed as a military prison for all POWS and local dissidents. Intercepted comms suggest that government leaders from the ousted old administration may also be held there. [/SIZE]
[SIZE=11pt]Disable the prison defenses with a stealthy airstrike ([/SIZE][SIZE=11pt]Yutan fighter bombers[/SIZE][SIZE=11pt]) dropping ion bombs, and cripple enemy comms between the prison and capital island with jamming pods. Strike teams will then move in to neutralize the guards and rescue the prisoners. [/SIZE]
[SIZE=11pt]Assuming the air strike goes off without a hitch, resistance should be minimal but expect desperate measures from the guards like the use of sentient shields. Non-lethal takedowns are advised to keep casualties at a minimum. [/SIZE]
[SIZE=11pt]Meanwhile, friendly squadrons need to stay on station to intercept any reinforcements coming in by air and sea. [/SIZE]
[SIZE=11pt]B. Headhunters[/SIZE]
[SIZE=11pt]Another team is heading straight for the capital to take control of the orbital defense grid (via a malware injection called "Wildfire") and to kill or capture the leaders of the Imperial Shadows. [/SIZE]
[SIZE=11pt]While war droids are dropped on top of the capital city to disrupt enemy defenders and create a distraction, strike teams will rendezvous on Padawan Potentas’ position for pickup, then work their way downtown for the final leg of their mission. [/SIZE]
[SIZE=11pt]Along the way, help Potentas free Master Dominus from the clutches of the Sith. [/SIZE]
[SIZE=11pt]((Everyone will start from a flotilla of Pantera frigates in stealth mode, then you can split off to achieve your respective objectives behind the air strikes at the prison and the orbital drops over the capital.))[/SIZE]
[SIZE=18pt]1408 Latria Tower (Gyndine):[/SIZE][SIZE=18pt] [/SIZE]
[SIZE=11pt]The building and street have been evacuated and quarantined by authorities after several strange anomalies have been observed and reported. People and objects were seen zipping around fast as lightning one moment or drifting in slow motion the next. Sometimes people have even been witnessed walking backward like they're a holovid being played on the reverse. Victims pulled out of the edge of the affected area have mentioned feeling several instances comparable to deja vu. Others victims appear like they’ve aged or even de-aged by several years within no time. Atomic and optical clocks within the immediate vicinity of the building have been noted going haywire from electromagnetic disturbances. [/SIZE]
[SIZE=11pt]Local authorities and scientists have no idea what's happening, but they have observed that the anomaly seems to be getting more severe with each passing day and is starting to spread beyond the confines of the skyscraper. Suspecting a paranormal origin, the Gyndine government reaches out to Silver Jedi Order to assist them in investigating the anomaly and figuring out a way to stop it.
Objectives[/SIZE]
[SIZE=11pt]C. 1408[/SIZE]
[SIZE=11pt]Thus far, all conventional sensors have failed and scanning the skyscaper and the growing field of distortion. The only solution seems to be going inside the building and figuring out the cause of the anomaly from within. However, to do means risking being trapped like all the rest stuck within the anomaly. [/SIZE]
[SIZE=11pt]Any Jedi with experience using flow-walking and similar abilities is highly recommended for the investigation into the mystery of Latria. [/SIZE]
[SIZE=11pt]D. A Curious Case[/SIZE]
[SIZE=11pt]Roughly a dozen victims were recovered displaying signs of either rapid aging or de-aging, the worst case being 30-year-old Twi’lek female now 23 years younger.[/SIZE][SIZE=11pt] [/SIZE][SIZE=11pt]While the rapid (de)aging process seems to have slowed down after the people were pulled, it still continues at a rate of about a few months every hour. [/SIZE]
[SIZE=11pt]Physicians, xenobiologists, and even quantum physicists are called in to analyze the patients under quarantine and figure out a way to save them from certain death. Head over to quarantine zone with the Silver Circle to figure out a cure.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=11pt]E. BYOO[/SIZE]
[SIZE=11pt]Don’t like what you see? Bring your own objective! Gyndine, in particular, is a world ripe for many business opportunities and scientific endeavors as it is host to several megacorps and advanced shipyards. [/SIZE]
