I would like to introduce to you all...
Malachor Objectives
Sith and Allies:
- Cut off the agricultural, rural frontier of 'The Blessing' from the cities, starving them and driving up food prices.
- Incite unrest between the aristocratic Upper Sphere and the worker-oriented Lower Sphere.
- Seize control of the Data Network to gather information on the populace.
- Paralyze the Floating Market commerce center to create chaos by breaking the flow of credits.
- Keep Sith activity a secret from the general populace.
The Sith are trying to create a situation where class warfare is inevitable. By inciting paranoia in the Upper Sphere and unrest in the Lower, they will attempt to get the high-class society to crack down - hard - on all kinds of dissent. The lack of official government control will ensure that such means will be brutal, violent, and ineffective. This, and worsening conditions in Malachor for the common folk while pinning blame on the elite will create a situation ripe for government takeover.
Jedi and Allies:
- Negotiate between the Upper and Lower Sphere.
- Convince Malachor of your good intent.
- Attempt to expose the Sith to the public.
- Provide relief to the scum of Malachor, break the webs of addiction.
Malachor was given an unusual level of independence, and a sort of pseud-nationalistic pride was fostered. Their firm belief in their own unbreakability means that the Jedi will be suspect as representatives of an expansionist Alliance and the Sith as that of an Empire. Any sort of attempts to 'claim' the world will be met with total hostility. As such, the Jedi and their friends are best suited making life better for the ordinary folk, and attempting to foil the plots of the Sith to worsen conditions and create chaos.
I will be in the Upper Sphere, but I would love to see more people join in. If anyone wants to have me as a dueling partner, make mention!
