Opening Crawl

[Mara Jade]

The year is 490 BBY and the Republic is in a deadly race against time and its new enemies. Until very recently, the galaxy was at peace, and as always, the Jedi served as diplomats and peacekeepers throughout the systems. However, in the last couple of years, things have changed, and an unusual large number of Jedi have become Fallen. Until recently that was considered a loss, but a harmless one.

Now the Republic has learned that these Fallen Jedi have played a significant part in the killing of the entire population of the Outer Rim planet of Jandoon. No one really knows what happened at Jandoon, but there are rumours of ghosts roaming the space around the planet. Intruders who get too close to Jandoon often disappears without a trace - except those whose screams of pain and fear echoes through the com system.

The Republic has learned that the Fallen Jedi have awoken a hibernated Rakata - an ancient and at this time extinct race, who are famous for their powerful and deadly weapons. Also, it has come to the Republics attention that the Fallen Jedi are searching for a map, which is said to give the location of another, even deadlier weapon. Now the question is - who will get to it first? And what will they do with it? The galaxy is yet again at war...

This was the story, as we began it back in 2007 - and time moves slowly in cyberspace. Not too much has changed:

A couple of Jedi have been to Jandoon: Jedi Master Kian Aeon, and his padawan, Tianara Nain went on a mission to try and figure out what was in fact going on. They almost paid with their lives, and Kian lost both his legs on the mission. Fortunately, Tianara succeeded in rescuing the pair, and Kian has been fitted with cybernetic legs.

The Fallen on Jandoon are growing in numbers, as more and more Jedi join what they believe to be "the winning side" - the Jedi council is worried enough that they have sent a spy, Derek Arnau to Jandoon to try and figure out what is going on. Derek left the Jedi Order years ago, but he has continued to help them in his own way - this being one of them.

The Fallen Jedi have succeeded in killing the Chancellor - they broke into the senate, and killed her. In fact, Derek, in order not to blow his cover, was forced to kill her.

The Galaxy, utterly shocked by this horrific act has voted and chosen a new, strong chancellor. One with the attitude to lead the people in these troubled times.

Meanwhile, the Fallen Jedi have succeeded in locating a piece of paper, that might be part of the puzzle to retrieve the ancient weapon they are looking for. One that might prove to be even more deadly than the one that wiped out the population of Jandoon.

Rumour goes that clues to the puzzle might be found on a water planet. But where to look?

And still the Fallen are becoming more and more bold - as recent attacks on Coruscant clearly shows. Not only was the Chancellor killed, but the feared Varuun Carro broke into the temple and almost killed three Jedi there. Only because of Grand Master Chapaa'ai's interfering did things turn out good.

Even though no one was killed, the sight of the Anzat Fallen always cause people to fear the worst, and this is no exception. Especially not since people have also started to disappear. A reporter has gone missing from Coruscant

The Republic is preparing its military. This -is- a time of war

Rumour has it the Fallen have begun recruiting an army of their own. One to match that of the Republic. However, you have to brave to be part of -that- gang
more to come....
